Bihar's economy has grown faster than the national economy. Its annual growth rate averaged 7% during the 2000s, and 7.5% during the 2010s (until 2019-20). In comparison, the national economy grew at 6.3% and 6.6% annually during these periods, respectively. Bihar has also made remarkable progress in closing the gap in education, health and basic amenities. Its gross enrolment ratio (GER), sex ratio at birth, life expectancy, infant mortality, and availability of electricity, drinking water and sanitation have improved significantly to levels only slightly below the national average. Yet, in terms of per-capita income, it has remained India's poorest state. This is due to a very low level of initial income preceding the growth spurt and a high population growth rate, which inhibited conversion of higher GDP into the acceleration of per-capita income.
