Stable inflation and external account, steady number of new project announcements keeping India among the top 5 destinations for global greenfield projects, progressive employment outlook help the Indian economy close the current financial year on a positive note, the Finance Ministry notes, even as a welcome decline in global commodity prices from their post-Ukraine conflict, rising FPI inflows, declining current account deficit (CAD), rise in foreign exchange reserves at USD 636 billion as on 8 March 2024, allow India, on the whole, to look forward to a bright outlook for FY25, the report projects.
Importantly, the Finance Ministry is not isolated in its own revised view of the Indian economy as it joins a slew of updates on India's prospects by global observers. The Ministry refers to SBI Research and Moody's which expect GDP growth for FY24 to be 8 per cent, Fitch and Barclays which raised their growth forecast for FY24 to 7.8 per cent.
Many non-governmental expert agencies have also upped their growth projections, the MER points out.
Rating agency CRISIL has forecast India's GDP growth at 6.8 per cent in the next fiscal (FY2024-25) and yet India will retain its position as the fastest-growing large economy. The Finance Ministry also argues that the inclination towards 8 per cent growth for FY24 stems from the fact that the 7.6 per cent GDP growth for FY24, as estimated by the CSO, means an implied growth of 5.9 per cent growth for Q4 FY24, which is likely to be an understatement given the continuing momentum of the economy.
