Economists are predicting that india expanded at an annual rate of 7. 1 in the first three months of the year. Now, this compares with growth of 6. 9 for china. The resilience of the Indian Economy will come as welcome news to Prime Minister narendra modi, following the countrys landmark demonetisation programme. Towards the end of last year, the government removed some 86 of banknotes from circulation, in a bid to crackdown on corruption. This led to widespread disruption and queues outside banks and cashpoints, but the Shock Announcement seems to have had limited impact on growth. And there could be yet more good news for the Indian Economy in a months time, consumers are set to benefit from a major tax reform. From july i, all purchases will fall under a single goods and services tax. This will lower the average tax rate compared to the existing system. It is difficult for us to adhere to the 7 growth rate in the country. There has been a partial breakdown of the rural economy. Incomes have not risen. People are holding back on any nondiscretionary expense, which is bad for business in general. The last few years and especially the last few months have been very bad for the Real Estate Development market. The market has been under pressure, and adding fuel to the fire has been the monetisation. Demonetisation. The Water Industry which we have been working in since 1958 is going well.

So, what kind of damage will this do to ba . With me isjohn strickland, aviation and airlines expert from jls consulting. Sojohn, still so john, still thousands sojohn, still thousands of so john, still thousands of angry customers. What long term damage could there be to ba, do you think . The airline will have two work to get the flying programme back into normality, as they are doing right 110w. Normality, as they are doing right now. The Baggage Problem will be sold as you describe. But they are premium airline. They rely on premium airline. They rely on premium customers. These are the ones who play the most, but also they are feeling a lot of their economy seats. Pay. They need to restore the trust in a competitive market. Market competition means they have people like ryanair, snapping at their heels with Cost Effective fights, and Premium Airlines like emirates. The cost cutting me to be down slightly. They need to deliver reliability and integrity, which they want to suggest they offer. Now manager wa nts to suggest they offer. Now manager wants to show that they are doing a wash up of the rubble and communicate transparently. What they have found was the problem and how will they will avoid it in the future. What impact do you think this will have on heathrow as an International Hub . A few years ago, when British Airways moved into terminal 5, which is the epicentre of this challenge of the last weekend, terminal 5 itself went into meltdown on its first day of operation. That was not good for ba or heathrow. But they recovered from that. In that sense, there is hope. Investors will be looking at the financial performance. Looking back to that as an example, ba did recover. They worked hard to do it, but they did it in a faraway and restored faith and went on to bigger and Better Things but in terms of customers and profitability. Delta, who has a hub in atlanta, they had a major it outage in atlanta last year. This will require a complete management focus. This will need focus on processes and customers as well a star. That is how they have to do it because it is the only way to do it because it is the only way to protect their business position. John strickland, to give forjoining us.

He Still Believes in his investments there. China is a planned economy. What the government plans is what happens. Because the government controls the major banks, controls the major features of the economy, the major features of the economy, the biggest companies, so if they wa nt the biggest companies, so if they want 6 growth, they will get it. They are not fixing the numbers. They are not fixing the numbers. They do is poor more money on. However, there is a problem in the private sector. Many of these companies have borrowed too much and we re companies have borrowed too much and were dealt a payback. Pour. And there will be in trouble.
