India's economy
continues to slowdown according to the latest government figures.
For the
April-to-June quarter, it grew at a rate of 4.4%, compared with the same period
in the previous year.
It was a weaker
performance than most economists had been expecting and was a slowdown from the
first three months of the year, when growth was 4.8%.
A contraction in
mining and manufacturing activity was behind the slowdown.
Friday's figures
show the economy is now expanding at the slowest rate since 2009.
It adds to the
pressure on Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who earlier addressed
parliament over the nation's economic problems.
