Photo: PTINew Delhi: Domestic criticism of economic growth notwithstanding, the European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Friday said nobody outside India calls its 5.7% gross domestic product (GDP) growth as a slowdown as it is much better than that clocked by major economies of Europe. “What you are calling a slowdown would be a major performance in Europe; 5.7% by comparison to 2% in Europe is showing that India is doing well. I wouldn’t be too afraid of what you are calling slowdown. Nobody outside India is calling this a slowdown,” he said on the sidelines of India European Union Business Forum in New Delhi.
