Well, I think the global economy is in the position for continuing good growth with inflation well in check.

You know, I think of the global economy as an inverted triangle, resting on the shoulders of the American consumer. And if the American consumer cannot have enough disposable income in order to maintain a standard of living that creates more opportunities generation after generation, that's bad for everybody.

In 2006, the global economy was doing well. In India, the political and economic situation was stable. All key macroeconomic indicators reflected an economy that was in robust good health.

While the wider global environment is worrying, we are seeing some positive results in our economic affairs.

If productivity grows, the economy does well.

This dilettante notion that the global economy is evil because big corporate leaders make too much money... they do make too much money, but the only way we've figured out how to generate wealth in this world is through the market economy.

So, there is enormous instability in the global economy with a shift of winners and losers.

Even as China's growth slows, it will continue to be a powerhouse for the global economy.

It's well proved economics that if a country which is rich and a country that is poor come together in global trade, sooner or later the standard of living of the poor country will go up towards that of the rich country.

If we didn't have the rest of the world growing, the United States economy would be in much worse shape than it is today.
