India will be the world's fastest growing large economy in 2016: UN World Economy Report

A United Nations World Economy Report has said India will be the world's fastest growing large economy at 7.3 per cent in 2016 and improving further to 7.5 per cent in the following year. The report said, the macro-economic environment in India has improved, with the help of sharp decline in the prices of oil, metals and food.
