New Delhi, Sep 23
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on Tuesday raised India's GDP growth by 40 bps to 6.7 per cent in 2025 from its earlier projection of 6.3 per cent in June -- driven by strong domestic demand and robust GST reforms.
The OECD's latest 'World Economic Outlook' mentioned that in India, higher tariff rates will weigh on the export sector, but overall activity is anticipated to be supported by monetary and fiscal policy easing, "including the reform to the Goods and Services Tax (GST), with growth projected to be 6.7 per cent in 2025 and 6.2 per cent in 2026”.
The food price inflation has declined sharply in India, helped by strong domestic supply and export restrictions, said OECD in its latest report.
Global growth proved more resilient than expected in the first half of 2025, especially in many emerging markets.
