The 2008 Phenomenon

This is what happened in 2007-08 (Sequentially):

1) Increase in Energy and Food Prices

2) Widening of trade and current account deficit (as both the above commodity groups were being imported in large quantities)

3) Rising fiscal imbalances (increased subsidies increasing budgetary burden)

4) Growing Poverty and Income Inequality
