Motivated by near-absence of studies on the volatility aspect of the growth process, this study has attempted to identify the possible factors that are responsible for such a phenomenon. This study has observed that monetary policy as well as fiscal policy stances have important implications for growth stability in combination with the evolving sectoral mix of GDP.
