Govt sees risks to growth amid OPEC cuts, El Nino concerns
Mint Mumbai|April 26, 2023
The finance ministry on Tuesday flagged the downside risks to the official forecast of 6.5% economic growth rate in FY24 arising from oil production cut by the OPEC, troubles in the financial sector in developed markets impeding cash flows and elevated risks to the monsoon rains from El Nino which could impact farm output and prices.

Govt sees risks to growth amid OPEC cuts, El Nino concerns

“We reiterate that downside risks to our official forecast of 6.5% for real GDP growth in FY24 dominate upside risks. OPEC’s surprise production cut has seen oil prices rise in April, off their lows of low-seventies per barrel in March. Further troubles in the financial sector in advanced nations can increase risk aversion in financial markets and impede capital flows. Forecasts of El Nino, at the margin, have elevated the risks to Indian monsoon rains," the finance ministry said in its monthly economic review for March 2023.
