Business News: India GDP Growth Forecast Raised by World Bank to 7%
World Bank's Positive Outlook on Indian Economy
The World Bank has provided encouraging business news, revising India's GDP growth forecast for FY25 to 7%, up from 6.6%. This adjustment is driven by recent data showing a 6.7% growth rate in the first quarter of FY 2024-25, despite challenges related to government expenditure during national elections.
Factors Supporting GDP Growth in India
- Reduced Inflation: Declining inflation is expected to support economic recovery.
- Increased Government Spending: Heightened government spending is likely to stimulate growth.
- Gross Value Added (GVA): GVA registered a strong growth of 6.8% in the April-June quarter.
Moody's Revision Supports Positive Projections
Echoing the World Bank's optimism, Moody's also revised its growth forecasts, predicting a GDP growth of 7.2% in 2024 and 6.6% in 2025, up from earlier estimates. This suggests strengthening rural demand plays a crucial role in India's economic resilience.
