Breaking: India’s Economic Growth Expected to Slow Down Significantly
The World Bank has adjusted its growth forecast for India展望到未来几年的经济增长。
In its latest "Global Economic Prospects" report, the World Bank has reduced its growth projection for India to 6.3 per cent for the fiscal year 2025-26. This represents a conservative yet realistic estimate of the country’s prospects, keeping its position as the world’s fastest-growing economy.
Boost in Services Sector
For FY 2026-27, however, there’s optimism about a robust economic recovery. This resurgence is attributed more to an anticipated robust services growth, which is expected to contribute to an increase in exports. The services sector, notably transport, tourism, real estate, and communications, will likely lead the sectoral growth.
The report also highlights that moderate growth pressure in industrial sectors, while important for the overall economy, is somewhat tempered by steady growth in construction and services. Agricultural gains are mainly due to resilient agricultural output recovery from severe drought conditions, supported by the positivity in rural demand.
Breathing Space in Developing Nations
With diminishing economic prospects in 2025, global growth might see its slowest pace since 2008 outside of outright recessions. Economic cutbacks in nearly two-thirds of economies have already been witnessed, both regionally and in income groups. Notably, Asia may face particular growth difficulties in the upcoming decision to strengthen global recovery efforts.
Indeed, the World Bank anticipates economic recovery trends lagging behind emerging market availability of lucrative opportunities. According to Indermit Gill, Chief Economist of Indermit Group, the developing world’s reliance on external forces for growth is progressively decreasing, pointing to slower growth rates.
The hope is that the international community might consider a shift towards supporting global trade and investment networks with strategic partnerships, enhancing the ability of developing nations to thrive in the global market.
The report also suggests that policymakers should focus on mobilizing domestic revenues to fuel growth, prioritizing support for the most vulnerable segments of society, and strengthening fiscal frameworks to ensure long-term economic stability.
Turning Worldwide Trends into Innovative Leverages
The report recommends overcoming trade barriers through broader liberalization, making strategic alliances and partnerships crucial. Furthermore, it advocates for diversifying trading approaches, particularly through regional agreements.

This move warns of upcoming risks and opportunities in achieving economic recovery.
