IMF Boosts India's GDP Growth Forecast to 6.7% for Current Fiscal Year
In a notable development, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised its GDP growth estimate for India to 6.7% for the current financial year, marking a 40 basis points increase from its earlier forecast of 6.3%. This optimistic adjustment is attributed to robust public investment and favorable labor market outcomes, as highlighted in the latest World Economic Outlook report.
IMF also raised India’s upward medium-term GDP growth to 6.5%, representing a 20 basis point upgrade from its October 2023 forecast. This positive adjustment extends to the years 2025 and 2026, indicating sustained economic momentum.
The IMF anticipates India’s current account deficit for FY 24 to decrease from the initial projection of 1.8% of GDP to 1.6%. This reflects a healthier economic balance and improved fiscal dynamics.
Despite global economic challenges, India continues to outpace other major economies, maintaining its position as the fastest-growing among them. In the preceding financial year (FY 23), India’s GDP had expanded impressively by 7.2%, reinforcing its resilience and economic vitality.
