Indian economy to grow by 6.4 percent in 2015-16: World Bank

07 Oct 2014 Evaluate

The World Bank in its latest report has stated that Indian economy, which accounts for 80 percent of South Asia's output, is set to grow by 6.4% in 2015-16 as against 5.6% in 2014-15.  World bank’s report namely ‘South Asia Economic Focus’ has highlighted that India’s economic activity got buoyed by expectations from the new elected government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Over the next year economic growth will also be supported by the recovering US economy which would provide growth opportunities for Indian merchandise and service exports, it added.

The report further noted that private investment is expected to pick up amid hopes of government’s suitable business reforms and declining oil prices are likely to boost private sector competitiveness. World Bank affirmed that India's long-term growth potential remains high due to favorable demographics, relatively high savings, policies and efforts to improve skills and education, facilitate domestic market integration and incentivize manufacturing activities. However, economic reforms will be needed for India to achieve its full long-term growth potential, the report argued.  India's economic growth stayed below 5 percent for the second year in a row at 4.7 percent during 2013-14.

World Bank also expects that the inflation in the country will decline with monetary policy switching to inflation targeting however, the current account deficit is expected to widen as import demand and capital inflows rise. Fiscal consolidation is expected to continue with stronger revenue mobilisation, while the oil subsidy burden is likely to decline to 0.6% of GDP if declining trend of global crude prices persists.

On South Asia region, the World Bank’s report stated that the region's economy will expand by 6% in 2015 and 6.4% in 2016 compared to 5.4% this year, potentially making it the second fastest growing region in the world after East Asia and the Pacific. However, the bank cautioned about the need for fiscal and structural reform in South Asia region for broad economic stability and a pick-up in growth.
