slide9. LPG MODEL FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR LPG REFORMS:
Rise in Prices: The inflation rate increased from 6.7% to 16.7% due to rapid increase in money supply and the country’s economic position became worse.
Rise in Fiscal Deficit: Due to increase in non-development expenditure fiscal deficit of the government increased. Due to rise in fiscal deficit there was a rise in public debt and interest. In 1991 interest liability became 36.4% of total government expenditure.
Increase in Adverse Balance of Payments: In 1980-81 it was Rs. 2214 crore and rose in 1990- 91 to Rs. 17,367 crores. To cover this deficit large amount of foreign loans had to be obtained and the interest payment got increased.
Iraq War: In 1990-91, war in Iraq broke, which led to a rise in petrol prices. The flow of foreign currency from Gulf countries stopped and this further aggravated the problem.
Dismal Performance of PSUs: These were not performing well due to political interference and became big liability for government.
Fall in Foreign Exchange Reserves: India’s foreign exchange reserve fell to low ebb in 1990-91 and it was insufficient to pay for an import bill for 2 weeks.<br>

To tide over the Balance of Payment (BoP) issues, India borrowed huge amount from International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The Asian financial crisis of 1997-99 laid India low.
The dot-com collapse and global recession of 2001, and the huge global uncertainty created in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The global boom of 2003-08 spearheaded by China.<br>
