GLOBAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The global economy faced headwinds in FY 2023 due to weak demand. Commodity prices declined gradually; however, they are still higher than their five-year average. Inflationary pressures are expected to persist, whereas currency depreciation and capital outflows from emerging markets and developing economies have been widespread. The outlook for global trade remains uncertain due to downside risks pertaining to intense trade protectionism and supply chain disruptions. Inflation continued to rise throughout FY 2023 in most economies. The sanctions and hawkish monetary policies that followed the Ukraine war had a significant impact on global trade.

In FY 2024, global GDP growth is anticipated to be 3.0%. Additionally, after reaching its peak in FY2023, global inflation is expected to decline to 4.3% in the days ahead, banking on stable policies and favorable regulatory guidelines.

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The Indian economy proved to be one of the fastest growing in FY2023, supported by strong domestic demand. Despite a challenging external environment, exports performed better than expected, due to Indias vast domestic market and limited reliance on international trade flows. According to the National Statistical Office, Indias Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is projected to see robust growth of 7% during the fiscal year 2022-23. Indias economic ranking has also improved significantly, with the current-account deficit being financed by increasing foreign direct investment and a solid cushion of foreign exchange reserves.

Although consumer inflation was above the Reserve Banks upper limit, which prompted a 2.25 percentage point increase in the policy rate, Indias growth story was propelled by rising retail demand after the pandemic and new investments in areas such as automobiles, electronics, mining and the aviation industries.

With the broadening of the investor base for government securities, constructive policy changes for controlling inflation levels have augured well for the Indian economy. However, geopolitical tensions, tight monetary policies and slow global growth are expected to have an impact on Indias economic growth in FY2024. However, India will continue to be one of the fastest developing countries in FY2024 due to its strong domestic demand, robust macroeconomic forces and limited reliance on the global market. Indias GDP is also predicted to grow by a steady 6.6%, making it one of the worlds fastest-growing countries.
