'Looks optimistic but...': IMF chief Gita Gopinath says Important for India to keep fiscal deficit in check

India TV News  

It is important for India to keep fiscal deficit in check, even though its revenue projections look optimistic, Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund Gita Gopinath has said. As against India's real growth rate of 6.8 per cent in 2018, the IMF in its latest World Economic Outlook, released on Tuesday, projected the country's growth rate at 6.1 per cent in 2019 and noted that the Indian economy is expected to pick up at 7 per cent in 2020. Responding to a question, Deputy Director in the IMF Research Department Gian Maria Milesi-Ferretti said the overall growth remains very strong in India by the standards of the world economy. At the same time, there are many macroeconomic challenges the deputy director said as he emphasized the need to keep fiscal deficit under control.
