Indian economy to grow at 7.5% in 2024: World Bank; to moderate to 6.6 % over medium term

The World Bank forecasts India’s output growth to reach 7.5 percent in FY24, driven by resilient activity in services and industry. However, growth is expected to moderate to 6.6 percent over the medium term.

The World Bank projects India’s output growth to reach 7.5 perecnt in FY24 before moderating to 6.6 percent in FY25. The expected slowdown mainly reflects a deceleration in investment from its elevated pace in the previous year.

Over the medium term, the fiscal deficit and government debt in India are projected to decline, supported by robust output growth and consolidation efforts by the central government. .

In its latest South Asia Development Update, released on April 2, the World Bank predicts a robust growth of 6 percent in South Asia for 2024. This growth is primarily attributed to India’s strong performance, along with recoveries in Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

The report indicates that South Asia is poised to remain the world’s fastest-growing region for the next two years, with a projected growth rate of 6.1 percent in 2025

Bangladesh is expected to see a rise in output by 5.7 percent in FY25, while Pakistan’s economy is projected to grow by 2.3 percent in the same period. Sri Lanka’s output growth is anticipated to strengthen to 2.5 percent in 2025.
