the economy grew at a rate of only 2.3 percent The problem of unemployment could not be solved and
the situation became much worse over the years A growing currency account deficit and currency
depreciation created further problems for the
government Despite better accessibility of housing and healthcare
facilities, the quality of housing and the standard of healthcare facilities was not upto the mark
Thus in order to achieve a higher economic growth, low
deficits, stable exchange rate, and more jobs, thegovernment announced a new policy in 1996 calledthe “GEAR” policy
