Economic growth in India and other Asia Pacific countries is expected to be better as compared to the rest of the world, as per a UN Report. In fact the Asia Pacific region will be an anchor of stability and a new growth pole for the world economy.
Growth for Indian economy has been projected at 7.5% in 2012, up from 6.9% in the last fiscal year. The Indian economy's strong fundamentals, namely high saving and investment rates, rapidly expanding labour force and middle class will ensure a steady economic performance. Infact indicators are pointing to the fact that the economy is turning around and core sectors, including manufacturing, are showing signs of recovery. It may be noted that the government data has pegged the growth for FY’13 to be around 7.6%.
The major impediment to growth will be the reduced demand in the region’s traditional export markets of US and Europe together with higher capital costs and loose monetary policies of some advanced economies.
Inflation in India is expected to remain around 6.5% in 2012. The slower growth is expected to moderate inflation. The report has further observed that in line with increased prosperity, the food habits of consumers have been changing from cereals to proteins, fruits and vegetables, and to contain food inflation, supply of these items has to be enhanced. As per latest official data, overall inflation at the end of March was 6.89%.
