PM Modi Highlights India's Economic Progress Since 'Fragile Five' Classification
Prime Minister Narendra Modi referenced the 'Fragile Five'—a term coined by Morgan Stanley in 2013 for five emerging economies vulnerable to financial shocks—to highlight India's economic transformation over the past 12 years. India, once grouped with Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, and Turkey due to high inflation, current account deficits, and foreign capital dependence, has since become the world's fastest-growing major economy and the fourth-largest by GDP. Modi emphasized the role of India's citizens in this progress and reiterated the goal of building a developed nation by 2047.
