ADB cuts India's FY22 economic growth forecast to 10%; inflation seen rising marginally to 5.5%
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has downgraded India's economic growth forecast for the current financial year to 10 percent on Tuesday, from 11 percent projected earlier this year, mainly on account of the adverse impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Early indicators show economic activity resuming quickly after containment measures eased. The growth projection for FY2021 (ending March 2022), downgraded from 11 percent in ADO 2021 to 10 percent, reflects large base effects," it said. The ADO was released in April.
Meanwhile, the inflation forecast for Asia and the Pacific this year has been raised to 2.4 percent, from 2.3 percent in April, reflecting rising oil and commodity prices. The projection for 2022 remains at 2.7 percent, it added.
