Economic Liberalization

A severe balance-of-payments crisis in 1991 accelerated a wide programme of economic reforms under Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao and Finance Minister Manmohan Singh. The reform process included industrial delicensing, changes to trade and investment policy, exchange-rate reform and later financial-sector liberalisation, shifting India toward a more market-oriented economic framework.
