Evidence (2020-12-01): "This projection stands in stark contrast to the consensus, which forecasts 5.4% global growth and worries that the pandemic will have a bigger impact on private-sector risk appetite and, hence, global growth," says Chetan Ahya, Morgan Stanley's Chief Economist. "We maintain that consumers have driven the recovery, and investment growth—a reflection of the private corporate sector's risk tolerance and a key feature of any self-sustaining recovery—is bouncing back as well." Morgan Stanley Real GDP Growth Forecasts [...] Morgan Stanley economists expect this momentum to continue into next year. At the same time, emerging markets should benefit from widening U.S. current account deficits, low U.S. real interest rates, a weaker dollar, and accommodative macroeconomic policies. That adds up to 7.4% GDP growth for emerging markets in 2021, led by a forecast 9.8% improvement in India.

Evidence (2023-10-03): The IDU expects that global headwinds will continue to persist and intensify due to high global interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and sluggish global demand. As a result, global economic growth is also set to slow down over the medium term against a background of these combined factors. In this context, the World Bank forecasts India’s GDP growth for FY23/24 to be at 6.3%. The expected moderation is mainly due to challenging external conditions and waning pent-up demand. However, service sector activity is expected to remain strong with growth of 7.4% and investment growth is also projected to remain robust at 8.9%. [...] "While the spike in headline inflation may temporarily constrain consumption, we project a moderation. Overall conditions will remain conducive for private investment," said Dhruv Sharma, Senior Economist, World Bank, and lead author of the report. "The volume of foreign direct investment is also likely to grow in India as rebalancing of the global value chain continues."

Evidence (2024-05-31): Despite the high base set by unexpectedly strong growth in FY24, we anticipate India will achieve close to 7% growth in FY25, thanks to sustained economic momentum. This year, we expect a meaningful pickup in private consumption and a possible modest deceleration in investment growth. With robust growth and declining inflation, the Indian economy is in an enviable position, poised to remain the fastest-growing major economy in the world. [...] India Q4 GDP Growth Data: The Indian economy is anticipated to deliver a surprising 7.4% growth in the fourth quarter of FY24, raising the full-year estimate to 8%, according to State Bank of India research released on Tuesday.The economy averaged 8.2% growth over the first three quarters of the year, and the annual growth rate is projected to be 7.6%, implying a 5.7% growth rate for Q4."The in-house developed SBI Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model, which uses 30 high-frequency indicators, suggests that Q4 FY24 GDP growth will reach 7.4%," the report stated. [...] The RBI projected India's real GDP growth at 7% for this fiscal year. Growth is expected to be bolstered by better prospects for the agriculture sector and rural activities, following the waning of the El Nino climate pattern and a forecast of an above-normal southwest monsoon.

Evidence (2021-06-08): A year and a half since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy is poised to stage its most robust post-recession recovery in 80 years in 2021. But the rebound is expected to be uneven across countries, as major economies look set to register strong growth even as many developing economies lag. Global growth is expected to accelerate to 5.6% this year, largely on the strength in major economies such as the United States and China. And while growth for almost every region of the world has been revised upward for 2021, many continue to grapple with COVID-19 and what is likely to be its long shadow. Despite this year’s pickup, the level of global GDP in 2021 is expected to be 3.2% below pre-pandemic projections, and per capita GDP among many emerging market and developing economies is anticipated to remain below pre-COVID-19 peaks for an extended period. As the pandemic continues to flare, it will shape the path of global economic activity. The United States and China are each expected to contribute about one quarter of global growth in 2021. The U.S. economy has been bolstered by massive fiscal support, vaccination is expected to become widespread by mid-2021, and growth is expected to reach 6.8% this year, the fastest pace since 1984. China’s economy – which did not contract last year – is expected to grow a solid 8.5% and moderate as the country’s focus shifts to reducing financial stability risks.
Claim: Economy growing at a robust rate, with 7.4% GDP growth forecast for FY 2018-19. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2021-10-12): Global recovery continues, but the momentum has weakened and uncertainty has increased [...] The global economic recovery continues amid a resurging pandemic that poses unique policy challenges. Gaps in expected recoveries across economy groups have widened since the July forecast, for instance between advanced economies and low-income developing countries. Meanwhile, inflation has increased markedly in the United States and some emerging market economies. As restrictions are relaxed, demand has accelerated, but supply has been slower to respond. Although price pressures are expected to subside in most countries in 2022, inflation prospects are highly uncertain. These increases in inflation are occurring even as employment is below pre-pandemic levels in many economies, forcing difficult choices on policymakers. Strong policy effort at the multilateral level is needed on vaccine deployment, climate change, and international liquidity to strengthen global economic prospects. National policies to complement the multilateral effort will require much more tailoring to country-specific conditions and better targeting, as policy space constraints become more binding the longer the pandemic lasts.

Evidence (2024-05-02): Against this backdrop, the Outlook lays out a series of policy recommendations, highlighting the need to ensure a durable reduction in inflation, establish a budgetary path that will address rising fiscal pressures and undertake reforms that improve prospects for medium-term growth. [...] Governments face rising fiscal challenges given high debt levels and sizeable additional spending pressures from population ageing, and climate adaptation and mitigation. Future debt burdens are likely to rise significantly if no action is taken, highlighting the need for stronger near-term efforts to contain spending growth, improve public spending efficiency, reallocate spending to areas that better support opportunities and growth, and optimise tax revenues.

Evidence (2022-01-25): Rising Caseloads, A Disrupted Recovery, and Higher Inflation [...] Risks to the global baseline are tilted to the downside. The emergence of new COVID-19 variants could prolong the pandemic and induce renewed economic disruptions. Moreover, supply chain disruptions, energy price volatility, and localized wage pressures mean uncertainty around inflation and policy paths is high. As advanced economies lift policy rates, risks to financial stability and emerging market and developing economies’ capital flows, currencies, and fiscal positions—especially with debt levels having increased significantly in the past two years—may emerge. Other global risks may crystallize as geopolitical tensions remain high, and the ongoing climate emergency means that the probability of major natural disasters remains elevated.

Evidence (2023-11-10): That outlook is based on our economists’ prediction for strong income growth (amid cooling inflation and a robust job market), their expectation that rate hikes have already delivered their biggest hits to GDP growth, and their view that manufacturing will recover. Central banks, meanwhile, will have room to reduce interest rates if they’re concerned about the economy slowing. "This is an important insurance policy against a recession," Goldman Sachs Research Chief Economist Jan Hatzius writes in the team’s report titled Macro Outlook 2024: The Hard Part Is Over. [...] Importantly, GDP growth and employment have been surprisingly buoyant among economies that experienced a large and unwanted inflation surge in 2021-2022. (Policymakers in Japan, by contrast, wanted inflation.) And inflation is now cooling across G10 and emerging market economies. [...] There are four main reasons Goldman Sachs Research is optimistic about growth next year.
Claim: Economy growing at a robust rate, with 7.4% GDP growth forecast for FY 2018-19. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-02-01): India has bounced back strongly since the pandemic and it is now one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Its GDP growth for the July-to-September quarter shattered market expectations, growing 7.6% year over year.61 The biggest boost to growth came from a rebound in the industrial sector—auto sales, industrial production, and corporate profits pointed to resilient performance. Double-digit growth in the industry suggests that businesses ramped up production to meet the oncoming demand during festivals. In addition, credit growth and flights taken pointed to buoyancy in the services sector. Indeed, the financial, professional, and real estate services sectors did quite well in the first half of the fiscal year as well. [...] In the year ahead, improving fundamentals should buttress the underlying strength of GDP growth. We expect the Indian economy to grow between 6.9% and 7.2% through fiscal 2023 to 2024 (April 2023 to March 2024) in our baseline scenario, followed by growth ranging between 6.4% and 6.7% the next fiscal year. We expect the global recovery to gain pace later in 2024, which would provide a further boost. Higher government spending on building infrastructure and improving logistics will help reduce the cost of doing business and encourage private investment. The fiscal deficit of the first seven months was just 45% of the budget estimate, which gives the government ample room to focus on infrastructure spending and to support jobs and income.
