Ruchir Sharma, chief global strategist with Morgan Stanley Investment Management, says the public sector's presence in India's economy is both overwhelming and a holding-back factor, citing the example of state-owned banks. Delivering a lecture on leadership, organised by business chamber Ficci to mark its 90th anniversary this year, Sharma said the public sector's share in banking was two-third, way above the average of one-third in emerging markets.He outlined 10 rules for assessment over five years to determine an economy's current and future outlook. These parameters are what he described as politics, role of the state, income inequalities, concentration of wealth from a geographical standpoint, investment, inflation, the exchange rate, debt, demographics, and the 'curse of the cover story'. In India, the state remains meddlesome, he said. Thus, India has a low rank of two to three on this, on a scale of one to 10. Sharma said a country's economic performance tends to deteriorate .
