GLOBAL ECONOMY
Despite gloomy predictions, the global economy remains remarkably resilient, with steady growth and inflation slowing almost as quickly as it rose. The journey has been eventful, starting with supply-chain disruptions in the aftermath of the pandemic, an energy and food crisis triggered by Russias war on Ukraine, a considerable surge in inflation, followed by a globally synchronized monetary policy tightening. Globally, economic activity remains resilient, with Chinas economy growing 5.3% year-on-year and the U.S. economy expanding at 1.3% annualised rate in March quarter amid signs of inflation easing, strengthening hopes of a pickup in Indias exports. Growth in the euro area is rebounding but from very low levels, as past shocks, and tight monetary policy weigh on activity.
INDIAN ECONOMY AND OUTLOOK
Indias economy grew at a faster-than-expected pace of 7.8% year-on-year in the first three months of 2024, helped by a strong performance in the manufacturing sector, and economists expect the momentum to continue this year (Reuters). As per the recent report released by Ministry of Finance, The Indian economy is set to achieve nearly 7% growth in the financial year 2024-25.

India is forecasted to achieve a USD 4 trillion economy by 2024-25, surpassing Japan to become the worlds fourth largest economy.

STRENGTH
Non-Banking Financial Companies ("NBFCs") remain one of the most important pillars for ushering financial inclusion in India, reaching out to a hitherto under/ unserved populace and in the process leading to "formalization" of the credit demand. NBFCs cater to the needs of both the retail as well as commercial sectors and, at times, have been able to develop strong niches with their specialized credit delivery models that even larger players including banks, have found hard to match. NBFC play a key role in providing funds to the weaker sections of the society. As against traditional banks, NBFCs supply long-run credit to trade and commerce industry. NBFCs cater to a wide variety of customers both in urban and rural areas. They finance projects of small-scale companies, which is important for the growth in rural areas. They also provide small-ticket loans for affordable housing projects. All these helps promote inclusive growth in the country.
