This stage is reached when all the resistances and bottlenecks to growth are overcome so that growth becomes a routine or normal condition. It is a stage of high investment rates (about 10% of national income or above), improved efficiency and technical change.
Three conditions are necessary for take — off:
•High rate of productive investment.
•High rate of growth in at least one of the leading sectors.
•The existence or emergence of the right political, social and institutional framework to forge further growth by exploiting private impulses.
