Economic Overview

Global Economy

The global economy surpassed expectations in 2023 after a turbulent year. It continues to navigate a dynamic landscape marked by a blend of opportunities and challenges. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global growth maintained stability, holding at a modest rate of 3.2% in 2023.

Despite several major economies demonstrating remarkable resilience, underlying risks and vulnerabilities persist due to simmering geopolitical tensions, the growing intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, volatility in energy and food markets, and higher-for-longer interest rates.

Global inflation, a key concern over the past three years, continues to recede faster than expected. It declined from 8.7% in 2022 to 6.8% in 2023 and is expected to decrease further to 5.9% in 2024 and 4.5% in 2025. Despite headline inflation experiencing a decline from its unprecedented peaks, core inflation has remained persistent and is expected to decline gradually.

Economic expansion in several emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) has outperformed initial projections in 2023. The US economy has experienced the strongest recovery among major economies and its GDP increased to 2.5% in 2023. The European Union (EU) has demonstrated resilience in navigating through unprecedented shocks from the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war and higher interest rates. Although its GDP growth contracted to 0.6% in 2023, the EU managed to avoid the recession in 2023. The growth rate of Asia stood at 5.0% in 2023, with India and China as major contributors. Despite a sluggish recovery in China, policy stimulus and increased spending on disaster recovery supported growth, while India showcased impressive performance. Its robust domestic demand and substantial public investment primarily contributed to its impressive growth trajectory.

Outlook

The global economy is expected to sustain its resilience in 2024. The IMF forecasts global growth of 3.2% in both 2024 and 2025. Asia is expected to again contribute significantly to global growth in 2024, echoing its impact in 2023.

Region-wise economic growth (%)

The global economic outlook for 2024 will be impacted by higher interest rates, carrying the risk of a resurgence in inflation and shifts in the anticipated monetary stance. Furthermore, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has the potential to dampen the overall economic outlook of the EU. Additionally, an escalation in geopolitical tensions in West Asia and Red Sea route could elevate energy and commodity prices, reduce energy supply, increase the risks of supply disruptions, and pose downside risks for the disinflationary trend and the overall global economy. However, with faster disinflation and steady growth, the possibility of a severe economic downturn has decreased. Positive factors, such as the stronger-than-expected economic performance of the US and several large emerging market and developing economies, economic stimulus in China, and Europes resilience will bolster the outlook of the global economy.

Indian Economy

Despite the volatile global economic environment, India shines as a beacon of optimism, proudly holding its position as the worlds fifth-largest economy and expected to continue leading as the fastest-growing major economy. As per the Second Advance Estimates of National Income, 2023-24, Indias GDP growth remained strong at 7.6% in FY24 as against 7% in FY23, supported by buoyant domestic demand, moderate inflation, a stable interest rate environment, and strong foreign exchange reserves. Furthermore, a double-digit growth rate of 10.7% in the Construction sector and an 8.5% growth rate in the Manufacturing sector have contributed to the GDP growth in FY24. Furthermore, the IIP growth rate for FY23-24 shows a 5.8% increase compared to the previous year. The Mining sector recorded the highest growth at 7.5%, followed by Electricity with a growth of 7.1% and the Manufacturing sector at 5.5%.

Indias GDP Growth Rate

CPI inflationis on a downward trajectory and eased to 4.85% in March 2024. Headline inflation is expected to gradually decline to the target although it remains volatile due to repetitive food price shocks. According to the RBI, CPI inflation is estimated at 5.4% for FY23-24. The RBI maintains the policy repo rate at 6.50% and remains prepared to implement effective measures to achieve the target of 4% inflation.

Outlook

According to the IMF, the Indian economy is anticipated to progress steadily at 6.5% in FY25. However, the RBIs forecast is more optimistic, projecting a higher GDP growth of 7.0% for FY25. Indias economic outlook remains positive, supported by stronger consumer demand, increased capital expenditure, and physical and digital infrastructure enhancements. Private and government investments are expected to be the primary drivers of economic growth in 2024, backed by improving prospects of rural consumption due to the easing of inflation, increased spending in an election year, and proactive government policy measures.
