India to lead South Asia’s Economic Growth in 2025 says UN Report

Deccan Chronicle  

Mumbai: The Indian economy is projected to expand by 6.6 per cent in 2025 and 6.8 per cent in 2026, primarily supported by robust private consumption and investment, export growth in services and certain manufactured goods according to a United Nations World Economic Situation and Prospects Report 2025. According to the report, the near-term outlook for South Asia is expected to remain robust, with regional growth projected at 5.7 per cent in 2025 and 6 per cent in 2026, driven by strong performance in India as well as economic recovery in Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The report forecast India's consumer price inflation to come down from an estimated 4.8 per cent last year to 4.3 per cent this year, staying within the 2 to 6 per cent medium-term target range set by the Reserve Bank of India. It said the urban unemployment rate for India in the second quarter of last year was 6.6 per cent “virtually unchanged from the rate of 6.7 per cent recorded in 2023”.
