Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made a statement in the Rajya Sabha today on the state of the economy.

His speech was all of 1,500 plus words long, and dealth with the gamut of economic issues confronting the nation.

A bare textual analysis of his speech revealed that the key words he repeated most frequently in his speech included: deficit, account, economy, rupee, current and growth.

The word depreciation, which has been constantly making headlines, came somewhat lower down in the list of repeated words, below words like GDP, exports and exchange.

As for mutliple word combinations, the phrase "current account deficit" was repeated most in the speech.

But this was how it looked when parsed through a word cloud generating tool that focuses on a concept-based visual presentation of a piece of text.
