India's economic resilience strong amid global challenges: Economic review by Fin Min

India's economic resilience shines through in the face of global uncertainties, driven by strong domestic demand, a revival in rural consumption, and robust investment.

India's economic resilience strong amid global challenges: Economic review by Fin Min

India's economic resilience persists despite the headwinds of global uncertainty, as outlined in the latest Economic Review for March. The report underscores the nation's steadfast economic performance, on the heels of strong domestic demand, a revival in rural consumption, vigorous investment, and a sustained manufacturing upswing.

A notable highlight is the significant downtrend in retail inflation for the fiscal year 2023-24, reaching its lowest ebb since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. In response, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) opted to maintain policy rates, citing the ongoing abatement of price pressures. The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee remains committed to aligning inflation with its 4 percent target, acknowledging potential challenges such as geopolitical tensions and weather-related disruptions.

Optimism pervades growth projections, with both the RBI and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expressing confidence in India's economic trajectory. March 2024 witnessed several milestones indicative of robust economic health, including record-breaking stock market performances, impressive Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections, and substantial growth across manufacturing and services sectors.

However, global trade contraction in 2023 posed challenges, resulting from reduced demand in developed nations and trade weaknesses. While India's merchandise exports and imports moderated, non-petroleum and non-gems & jewellery exports demonstrated resilience, growing by 3% in fiscal year 2023-24. Services exports, particularly software and business services, expanded significantly.

India's capital inflows saw a notable upturn in fiscal year 2023-24, with foreign exchange reserves hitting an all-time high in March 2024. The reserves now cover 11 months of projected imports and exceed 100% of total external debt.
