Finance Ministry Flags Rising Oil Prices and Geopolitical Risks to Indian Economy
India's Finance Ministry highlighted risks to the economy from a sharp 29% rise in crude oil prices in September and ongoing geopolitical tensions, including uncertain trade relations with the US. The increase in oil prices may raise import costs and inflation pressures across sectors. Despite these challenges, India's economy showed strong growth with a 7.8% GDP rise in Q1 FY27. The government noted that supply-side measures and monetary policies aim to manage inflation and financial stability amid global uncertainties.
