Shocks will continue all the time - that has been true in the past and will remain true in the future as well. In spite of the international shocks (like global economic meltdown and depression China did outperform the entire world). What is needed is good governance, transparent decision making, political will and passion for development. If any one of these essential ingredients is lacking, the so called shocks will continue to create excuses and act as artificial hurdles and obstacles. There is need for a determined and positive political will to push the economy forward. Mere political limericks and gimmicks can not fool the stock markets.
