S&P raises India's FY27 GDP growth forecast to 7pc, sees 25 bps RBI rate hike
S&P Global Ratings has raised India's GDP (gross domestic product) growth forecast for this fiscal year to 7 per cent, up from 6.6 per cent. It also expects the Reserve Bank of India to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, with consumer inflation averaging 5.1 per cent. So loans may get costlier, and big purchases need careful planning.
Key Statutory Highlights
- S&P Global Ratings upgraded India's GDP growth forecast for the current fiscal year to 7 per cent, from 6.6 per cent earlier.
- S&P expects the RBI to raise its policy rate by 25 basis points this fiscal, with consumer inflation averaging 5.1 per cent.
