Business sentiment picking up — NCAER

NEW DELHI APRIL 25. Business sentiment in the country is showing an improvement despite the current turbulence in Gujarat, the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) has said.

"The business expectation survey conducted after the Gujarat disturbance (post-Godhra violence) seems to suggest that business sentiment is picking up,'' Suman K. Bery, Director General of the economic think-tank, said.

Recent incidents in Gujarat could lead to short term disturbances but was unlikely to have any long term impact, he said speaking on the sidelines of an Indo-Canada business forum organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry here.

With the U.S. economy showing signs of revival, there were reasons for a guarded optimism, he said despite the provisional data released yesterday by the Government indicating that the growth rate in six core infrastructure sectors had declined to 3 per cent during 2001-02 from over 5 per cent a year earlier. — PTI
