Paris-based think tank the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has said that India is seeing “stable growth momentum” even as economic activities are expected to slow down in China, the US and many other major economies.
OECD, a grouping of 34 countries in its report for May, based on Composite leading indicators (CLIs), that are designed to anticipate turning points in economic activity relative to trend, has stated that India's CLI stood at 99.5 in May. Last month the grouping had pegged India's growth to remain “strong and stable” at 7.3 percent in 2015 on the back of revival in investments. It said that the indicators continue to point to firming growth in the euro area, including France and Italy, and to stable growth momentum in Germany, Japan and India. The OECD's composite leading indicator for its 34 members fell to 100.0 in May from 100.1 in April.
The grouping has also said that CLIs point to easing growth in the US, Canada, China as well as the UK, albeit from relatively high levels. The leading indicator for the US has fallen in each month this year, and now stands at 99.5, a level below 100.0, where it started the year. Leading indicator for China fell to 97.3 in May from 97.5 in April. However, it added that Russia is showing tentative signs of a positive change in growth momentum whereas in Brazil a loss in momentum is expected.
