World Economic Outlook (WEO) and expected India to grow at 7 per cent in the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and 6.5 per cent in the next fiscal year (FY2025-26).
«In India, the outlook is for GDP growth to moderate from 8.2 per cent in 2023 to 7 per cent in 2024 and 6.5 per cent in 2025, because pent-up demand accumulated during the pandemic has been exhausted, as the economy reconnects with its potential,» the IMF said in the World Economic Outlook.
Looking beyond the one-year outlook, the global economy faces a feeble period of medium-term growth, the IMF said as it called for a slate of reforms in its latest WEO during the annual meetings of the fund and the World Bank in Washington.
