As W. Arthur Lewis (1957) wrote, ‘the central problem in the theory of economic development is to understand the process by which a community which was previously saving and investing 4 or 5 percent of its national income or less, converts itself into an economy where voluntary saving is running at about 12 to 15 percent of national income or more’. Thus, according to development theory in general, ‘savings is the engine of growth’.
