Economy Might See Slowing Growth But Still Better Than Other Emerging Economies: FinMin

News 18  

As various international agencies have projected slowing of global economic growth due to rising commodity prices, supply chain bottlenecks and faster than the projected withdrawal of monetary accommodation, India’s economy is also expected to witness slowing growth, though still higher than the other emerging market economies, said a finance ministry report released on Monday. “High-wire balancing act between maintaining growth momentum, restraining inflation, keeping the fiscal deficit within budget and ensuring a gradual evolution of the exchange rate in line with underlying external fundamentals of the economy is the challenge for policymaking this financial year,” according to the ministry’s Monthly Economic report for May 2022. “The recent 50 basis point repo rate hike by the RBI taking the repo rate to 4.9 per cent and counteractive policy action by the government in the form of excise duty cuts, rationalisation of custom duties, enhanced subsidy to targeted sections, trade policy changes and the government’s continued committed to enhance capex are expected to restrain inflation while underpinning economic growth in the ongoing fiscal year,” the report said. “India faces near-term challenges in managing its fiscal deficit, sustaining economic growth, reining in inflation and containing the current account deficit while maintaining a fair value of the Indian currency.
