Higher growth forecast

NEW DELHI SEPT. 3. Coinciding with the Reserve Bank's projection of a GDP growth ``significantly'' more than 6 per cent, the World Bank today forecast a higher growth for the Indian economy this fiscal but warned that unchecked fiscal deficit may ruin the prospects of attaining the Tenth Plan target of 8 per cent.

``If the Tenth Plan target is to be achieved, a large number of areas such as fiscal deficit have to be addressed,'' the World Bank country director, Michael S. Carter, said releasing the report `Global Economic Prospects 2004' here. — PTI
