Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Wednesday termed the NDA government's 2017 rollout of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as the "biggest reform" taken as part of a "systemic reform" and pitched India as a bright spot for investors.

In her address at the Tamil Nadu government's second Global Investors' Meet (GIM), the Defence Minister said the government has ensured that systemic reforms were taken up with 'courage.'
"We maintain the growth well above 6.5 (per cent), sometimes touching seven and IMF's prediction is that we are likely to be over seven per cent in the coming years too."
