World Business Report

Available for over a year

Few economies seem to be safe from shrinking, but India is proving an exception. The latest data shows the country enjoyed 13.5% GDP growth between April and June. It's good news for a nation which is wondering how to support its own rapidly expanding population. So will the rest of the world see a benefit? Joining the programme are Priyanka Kishore, Head of India and South East Asia at Oxford Economics; and Satender Kumar, the co-founder of online plant business Nurserylive. We're also looking at the impact of catastrophic floods on Pakistan's fragile - and important - cotton production industry. (Picture: Mumbai's bustling Dadar outdoor market. Credit: Getty Images.)
