A theory is appropriate as long as it fits into the fact; when a theory doesn't fit in the fact, it's wise to walk with the fact.

Dismal export performance!


Exports fell for the third straight month in May due to a plunged demand for RMG items from debt-crisis-affected Eurozone, On a year-in-year basis, export declined by 4.1% in May. However, exports grew by only 7.0% during July-May FY2012 to $21.98 billion, 7.5% lower than the periodic target for the same period.

Question: Is the government still hoping to achieve the preliminary estimates of 6.3% GDP growth with this dismal export performance given the fact the performance of overall industry sector and service sector is largely dependent on export performance?
