Current Affairs - Economy - Discussion

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has revised India’s GDP growth forecast for FY25 to 6.5%, down from the initial estimate of 7%. This revision was made due to factors such as weaker industrial output, muted public spending, and tight monetary policies. In addition, the slowdown in GDP growth during Q2FY25, which fell to 5.4%, has impacted these projections. Despite these challenges, the economy remains supported by strong agricultural output and resilience in the services sector.
