The Goldman Sachs chief executive officer (CEO) David M Solomon on Sunday (2 June) said that the financial services company expects the Indian gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate under Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi to cross 7.5 per cent if the government accelerates the pace of reforms, reports Economic Times.
Solomon termed PM Modi's return to power with a massive mandate as a major confidence booster for the Golman Sachs, both as an investor and as an allocator of capital. He also stressed that if the reform programme accelerates, there can be considerable upside in the GDP growth on a forward basis.
Solomon also underscored that India is going to need significant amounts of capital, an area where his company can play a key role.
Further stressing on boosting digitisation in the economy and reforms, Solomon said, “If you think about the continuing digitisation of the economy in India, obviously that’s going to create many opportunities,”
The reforms process, if continued under the new government, will further accelerate foreign direct investment inflows, he said.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
