Observing indications of rebound in domestic economic growth, the World Bank President Jim Young Kim has said that Indian economy is likely to improve in the third quarter of current fiscal. The World Bank expectation came in line with Finance Ministry, which has said the economy’s growth will pick up in the second half and record a growth of 5-5.5 percent in 2013-14.
Responding to questions on slowed growth in developing countries, Jim Young Kim has said that growth in the emerging economy would pick up to over 5 percent over the next year. However, the developing countries are unlikely to go back to the 10 plus growth rate, which was experienced before the economic recession in the US.
In the previous month, World Bank had lowered India’s economic growth forecast to 4.7 percent for the current fiscal from 6.1 percent growth projected earlier citing that negative business sentiment coupled with rising inflation and higher interest rates could adversely impact the economy’s growth in the current fiscal. Currently, Indian economy is struggling with slowdown and its growth has slowed down to four-year low at 4.4 percent in April-June quarter, 2013. Further, all macro-economic indicators have deteriorated with current account deficit (CAD) widening to a record high of 4.9 per cent of GDP in the April-June quarter, 2013. Further, rupee value has also depreciated over 15 percent against dollar in 2013, which has become a cause of concern for the country, as India is structurally an import intensive country.
