New Delhi, July 17

The Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, said on Tuesday that it was possible for the country to achieve a 10 per cent economic growth in fiscal 2008-09.

“Achieving a 10 per cent growth in 2007-08 is tough, but it is possible in 2008-09. That will be a fitting finale for the UPA government’s five year tenure,” Mr Chidambaram said in his address at the India Policy Forum here.
