FY19 GDP growth target maintained at 7.4%: RBI
Turning to growth projections, the Reserve Bank of India, after its Monetary Policy Meet (MPC) on Wednesday said, "Although Q2 growth was lower than that projected in the October policy, GDP growth in H1 has been broadly along the lines of the April policy when for the year as a whole GDP growth was projected at 7.4%." Going forward, lower rabi sowing may adversely affect agriculture and hence rural demand. Financial market volatility, slowing global demand, and rising trade tensions pose a negative risk to exports. On the positive side, the decline in crude oil prices is expected to boost India’s growth prospects by improving corporate earnings and raising private consumption through higher disposable incomes.
