GS3 Economy: growth and development. Upgrades by rating agencies rest on consumption, investment and macro stability; assess how far these are broad-based and where the risks lie (global shocks, inflation, jobs, private capex). Way forward: sustain public capex, crowd in private investment, keep fiscal and external balances sound, and convert growth into employment.
