Economic Survey Predicts 7-7.5 Percent Growth in 2018-19

A series of major reforms undertaken over the past year will allow real GDP growth to reach 6.75 percent this fiscal and will rise to 7.0 to 7.5 percent in 2018-19, thereby re-instating India as the world’s fastest growing major economy. This was stated in the Economic Survey 2017-18 tabled in Parliament today by the Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Shri Arun Jaitley. It said that the reform measures undertaken in 2017-18 can be strengthened further in 2018-19.

India medium-term potential of 8%

As soon as the FM tabled the Economic Survey India Ratings & Research expressed their view. From India Ratings & Research Dr. Devendra Kumar Pant, Chief Economist said, “The Economic Survey 2017-18 provides an update on the status of India’s economy and advice from chief economic adviser and his team to the government. As per past trends, some advice may find a place in the budget.

The core of the survey, which everyone is looking at, is the 7.0%-7.5% growth projection for 2018-19. The survey suggests 2017-18 growth could go up to 6.75% (CSO estimate: 6.5%). Although an uptick in 2018-19 growth has not been ruled out, it is more likely towards the lower end of the range. Evolving domestic and global conditions can swing growth in any direction.
