According to a recent UNCTAD report, India’s economy shows no signs of slowing down, with an estimated growth rate of 6.5% in 2024. This follows a strong performance in 2023 where it grew by 6.7%. India continues to outpace other major economies, bolstered by significant public investments and a booming services sector.
The UNCTAD report also highlights the strategic shift by multinationals to integrate their manufacturing operations into India, aiming to diversify away from traditional bases like China. This move not only supports the Indian economy through increased export activities but also through the creation of job opportunities.
Further supporting the economic environment are moderating commodity prices which are expected to lessen the burden of the import bill. The Reserve Bank of India is likely to maintain steady interest rates in the near term, which should help sustain consumer and business spending.
While India's economic prospects look promising, the global economic growth is expected to decelerate slightly to 2.6% in 2024, from 2.7% in 2023. This marks the third consecutive year of post-pandemic slowing, contrasting sharply with the average growth rate of 3.2% from 2015 to 2019.
In contrast, other Southern Asian countries are facing tougher economic conditions, with countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka under IMF programmes which necessitate stringent monetary and fiscal measures.
India's economic resilience and projected growth come as a beacon of hope in a challenging global landscape. With sustained internal growth drivers and increasing international manufacturing interest, India's economy not only promises continued expansion but also a potential leadership role in the global economic arena. However, it remains essential for policymakers to balance growth with the challenges of trade disruptions, climate change, and social inequalities to ensure long-term sustainability.
