S&P Sees 7% India Growth, But Expects RBI to Raise Rates by 25 Bps
This Fin Shorts piece delves into S&P Global's latest outlook for the Indian economy. The agency has upgraded its FY27 GDP growth forecast for India to a robust 7%, up from 6.6%, attributing this positive revision to sustained economic activity. Key drivers include strong domestic consumption, healthy export performance, and consistent government investment, all contributing to India's growth momentum. Furthermore, S&P anticipates the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) might opt for a 25 basis points increase in the policy rate within the current fiscal year. This potential RBI policy rate adjustment comes amidst strong economic performance, which, as per Lumic's analysis, could give the RBI more flexibility. The story touches upon India's inflation forecast and the implications for India interest rates and the broader Indian bond market and Indian equities.
