Consumer, business confidence to drive growth: RBI governor Sanjay Malhotra

Live Mint  

Prospects for the Indian economy are expected to improve in 2025 thanks to high consumer and business confidence, Reserve Bank of India governor Sanjay Malhotra said in his foreword to the Financial Stability Report, which pegged the real GDP growth for the current fiscal year at 6.6%. In the bi-annual report released on Monday, Malhotra said that despite global uncertainties, the Indian economy is expected to pick up in the second half of the current fiscal. “Notwithstanding the uncertainties shrouding the global macro-financial ethos as it unfolds, prospects for the Indian economy are expected to improve after the slowdown in the pace of economic activity in the first half of 2024-25,” said Malhotra, who took over as the central bank's 26th governor earlier this month. After the sharp slowdown in growth in the first half of the year, the Indian economy is exhibiting resilience and stability, and is expected to recover in the third and fourth quarters, the FSR noted.
