Lorenz curve
• An economist named Lorenz used a graph to demonstrate income inequality.
• According to Lorenz, if the distribution of wealth in any country is equal then the line of
complete equality is obtained at 450.
• The greater the deviation from the line of perfect equality in any country, the greater will be
the income inequalities in that country.

increased to 6% in the 1980s and to more than 8% in 1985.

agencies market.
Increase in foreign debt • The current account deficit was financed through foreign
borrowing due to which foreign debt increased from Rs 194
crore in 1980-81 to Rs 1229 crore in 1990.

new economic policy in India.
• Through this, economic reforms (liberalization, privatization and globalization) were
implemented.
