IMF Says "8% Growth Forecast For India Not Ours", Distances From Top Exec

"The views conveyed ...by Mr. Subramanian were in his role as India's representative at the IMF," Julie Kozack, IMF spokesperson, told reporters in Washington today.

The recent remarks of Krishnamurthy Subramanian, Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund, about India's growth figures does not represent the views of the IMF and were in his role as India's representative at the global body, the IMF has said.

"The views conveyed ...by Mr. Subramanian were in his role as India's representative at the IMF," Julie Kozack, IMF spokesperson, told reporters in Washington today.

She was responding to a question on recent remarks by Mr Subramanian, in which he projected a growth rate of 8 per cent for India, which is different from the last growth rate projections by the IMF.
