FOREWORD
This year’s Economic Review attempts to capture economic progress in the State in a more analytical, yet user friendly format. The Review relies on innumerable sources of government information and serves as a credible and comprehensive account of the economic progress of the State. Volume 1 of the Review provides a thematic look at various economic sectors and brings out challenges as well as the accomplishments of various government institutions engaged in the provision of public goods and services. This is complemented by Volume 2, which provides time series and cross sectional data on state and national level economic parameters. Kerala is one of the most globalized States in India and hence the faltering growth of several trade partners does have a major impact on Kerala’s own growth prospects.
