BNP Paribas Warns Rising Oil Prices and Inflation May Slow India's Economic Growth
BNP Paribas forecasts challenges for India's economic growth due to rising crude oil prices above USD 100 per barrel and increasing inflation, which reached 4.8% year-on-year in August. These factors are expected to pressure consumption, rural activity, and industrial momentum, with indicators like manufacturing PMI and industrial production showing moderation. While credit growth, auto sales, and food-grain stocks remain strong, higher global interest rates may constrain the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy options in the near term.
