IMF Upgrades India’s Growth Forecast to 6.7% for FY24, Citing Robust Q2 GDP and Strong Medium-Term Potential

In its World Economic Outlook Update (WEO Update – Jan. 2024), the International Monetary Fund has revised upward India’s growth forecast for FY24 to 6.7% (from 6.3%) on account of the robust Q2 GDP outturn:

The IMF has revised upward medium-term (potential) GDP growth to 6.5% (from 6.3%) reflecting strong public investment, positive labor market outcomes in the latest PLFS report, and adjustments to our model.

IMF continues to view the external sector as strong and is narrowing its current account deficit projection for FY 24 from 1.8% (of GDP) to 1.6%. India continues to be the fastest-growing economy among the major economies of the world.
