The World Bank has revised its growth forecast for the Indian economy, increasing it to 7% for the fiscal year 2024-25, up from the earlier estimate of 6.6%. This adjustment comes despite a slowdown to 6.7% in the April-June quarter, attributed to reduced government spending during national elections.
Agricultural Recovery & Rural Demand: The upward revision is largely driven by a recovery in the agricultural sector and an increase in rural demand.
Government Spending on Infrastructure: Increased investment in infrastructure by the government has also bolstered growth prospects.
Unemployment: Despite the positive outlook, the World Bank highlights the challenge of job creation, noting that the urban unemployment rate remains high at an average of 17%.
Medium-Term Growth: The World Bank projects that India’s medium-term economic growth will average 6.7% over the next two fiscal years, with a gradual increase in private investment expected to aid in consumption recovery.
