Goldman Sachs Cuts India’s GDP Growth Forecasts for 2024 and 2025
Recently, investment bank Goldman Sachs announced a revision of its economic forecasts for India, lowering the expected growth of gross domestic product (GDP) for 2024 and 2025. This decision was prompted by a number of factors, including slowing reform pace and global economic conditions that are putting pressure on the country’s economic development.
Specifically, Goldman Sachs has reduced its GDP growth forecast for India for 2024 to 6.4%, which is 0.3% lower than the previous forecast. For 2025, the expectations are even more pessimistic, with projected growth of only 6.2%, also a drop from the previously stated 6.6%. The reasons for these changes lie both in India’s internal economic mechanisms and in the international political and economic situation.
Bank analysts noted that weakening demand both domestically and internationally, along with high inflation rates, are negatively impacting the economic climate. Additionally, uncertainty in global markets presents further risks that India will face in the future.
These forecasts come amid growing expectations that India should become one of the main engines of global growth; however, the current indicators point to the need to revise strategies in response to changing conditions.
Despite this, international investment firms still see significant growth potential in India, especially in the fields of digital technologies and infrastructure. However, banks and economic institutions urge the government to implement more proactive reforms and improve the business environment.
Goldman Sachs’ lowered forecasts may impact the stock market and foreign investment inflows in India. As investors seek reliable opportunities, it’s important to note that optimizing economic policy could restore market confidence and attract potential capital investments.
While making forecasts, Goldman Sachs analysts continue to monitor developments, hoping that the coming months will bring new data on the state of the Indian economy.
