      The economic growth in India has slowed down as the figures show for the first quarter of this year as it only expanded by 5.3%. There could be different reasons for this.
  • The strike came on the same day as shock economic growth figures for the January-March quarter showed the slowest quarterly expansion in nine years, of 5.3 per cent
  • The listless economy, high inflation and a series of corruption scandals have weakened the coalition government headed by the 79-year-old Singh and his Congress party

      Here some problems are mentioned, which would impact the recent decrease in growth and thus the rise in fuel costs.
  • Last week, Indian state-run oil firms announced the sharpest jump in petrol prices in nearly a decade to offset growing losses caused by subsidised rates
  • Once taxes are included, the price increase of Rs6.28 (11 US cents) per litre will result in a Rs7.5-rupee rise for consumers in cities such as Delhi
    • Melanie Arxhoek
      Melanie Arxhoek on 01 Jun 12
       
      This further expands into the reasons of why the fuel prices have risen.

      In this sentence we finally get some statistics that we could use to draw a graph and show the shift in price.
  • Melanie Arxhoek on 01 Jun 12
     
    11% increase in fuel costs, going from Rs 6.28 per litre to Rs 7.5. Growth figures for the first quarter showed the slowest expansion in 9 years of 5.3%. Listless economy, high inflation and corruption has weakened the economy. Annual inflation is currently at 7%

  • Consumer spending did turn out to be the major strength
  • Business investment, which had been a bright spot, declined in the most recent quarter.

      Low unemployment rate is one of the macroeconomic objectives.  However, the unemployment rate is very high, and that is not good for the economy.
  • bad investments
    • Tomomi Nakamura
      Tomomi Nakamura on 07 Jun 12
       
      Investment is a factor that influences GDP in the equation AD=C+I+G+(X-M), and if there is bad investment, the I component will decrease, which will also decrease the GDP value.
  • When the economy collapsed in 2008, people lost their jobs -- and with them their homes.
    • Tomomi Nakamura
      Tomomi Nakamura on 07 Jun 12
       
      When people lose jobs, it will increase the unemployment of that country.  Houses are the most valuable objects that a person owns, and if they lose their homes it will have a huge impact on their lives.

      They may be doing something to improve the economy's flow of money, debts, etc.
  • Spain also has an unemployment crisis, with more than half those under 24 out of work, and almost one in four people overall. Spain's jobless rate has helped pushed the eurozone's total unemployment rate to 11% -- its highest since the eurozone was created in 1999
    • Tomomi Nakamura
      Tomomi Nakamura on 07 Jun 12
       
      High unemployment has bad influence to the economy of Spain, which could also have an effect on other countries of the eurozone.
  • The situation in Spain is developing like a "perfect storm," with money being pulled out of the country, despite the desperate need to stem capital flight and support its banking system.

      Issues with the flow of money.  Leakage will lead to a decrease in economic growth.
  • This leaves Spain in a precarious financial state, driving investors away, pushing up its borrowing costs and making it more likely to need a bailout.
    • Tomomi Nakamura
      Tomomi Nakamura on 07 Jun 12
       
      There will be less investment which will decrease GDP, and if the country needs to borrow more money, their debt will continue to increase.
  • money being pulled out of the country
  • The retirement age has been raised from 65 to 67, while public sector wages and welfare payments have been cut.
    • Tomomi Nakamura
      Tomomi Nakamura on 07 Jun 12
       
      Raising the retirement age may decrease the number of people who are unemployed, but lowering the wages may be a disincentive to the workers.
  • Academics and financiers are also wading into the policy debate, with billionaire George Soros saying in a speech this month that the "wrong remedy" has been applied to the crisis. "You cannot reduce the debt burden by shrinking the economy, only by growing your way out of it," he said.

      Shrinking the economy is not good, and that may cause　more problems which will not help improve economic growth.
