After battling two waves of Corona, India's economy has started showing improvement. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has predicted that India's growth rate will be the fastest in the world till next year. The IMF has projected economic growth for India at 9.5% in 2021 and 8.5% in 2022. After this, it is clear that the Indian economy is coming out of the grip of Corona. IMF Chief Economist Gita Gopinath said after the release of this report that vaccination has happened rapidly in India. This has helped in a faster recovery in the economy.
In the financial year 2020-21, for the first time in 40 years, the country's economic growth fell to a negative 7.3%. However, with the decline in Corona cases, the economy car also picked up the pace. As a result, economic growth reached a record 20.1% in the first quarter of the current financial year 2021-22. However, this was due to a weak base last year and a pick-up in business activity.
According to the IMF, the US economy is projected to grow at 6% in 2021 and 5.2% in the next year. At the same time, China's economy can grow at the rate of 8% in 2021 and 5.6% in 2022.
India's growth rate projections have been kept constant over the last estimate for July this year. However, it is 1.6% lower than the estimate for April. According to the IMF, global growth is projected to be 5.9% in 2021 and 4.9% in 2022.
