IMF warns decelerating pace of reforms may weigh on India’s economic growth

25 Jul 2016 Evaluate
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) which recently lowered its GDP growth projection for India to 7.4 percent 2016 and 2017, from the 7.5 per cent in April, has warned that the headwinds from the weaknesses in the country's corporate and bank balance sheets, decelerating pace of reforms and sluggish exports may weigh on its economic growth, though it also said that India’s economy is on a recovery path, on the back of lower oil prices, positive policy actions and improved confidence.
 
IMF in its Note on 'Global Prospects and Policy Challenges' listed out six core areas namely product market, labour, infrastructure, banking, legal system and property rights, and fiscal structural reforms that need further improvement in India. The recommended six 'reform priorities' for India is higher than the same for several other emerging markets including China, Brazil and South Africa. Although, it said that India has done well on three out of nine 'reform priorities' including innovation, capital market development and trade and FDI liberalisation.
 
IMF in its report which was prepared for the two-day meeting of the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors' Meetings said further steps to relax long-standing supply bottlenecks especially in the energy, mining, and power sectors as well as labour market reforms, are crucial to achieving faster and more inclusive growth.
 
The report further raised concern that the country’s quality of fiscal consolidation should be improved through a comprehensive tax reform and measures to further reduce subsidies. On the back of shrinking fiscal buffers, many commodity exporters need to develop new growth models and tackle fiscal adjustment.
