RBI Deputy Governor Says India's GDP Growth Impacted by External Shocks, Could Exceed 8%
Reserve Bank Deputy Governor Poonam Gupta stated that India's real GDP growth would have exceeded 8% if not for external shocks over the past three years. Despite these challenges, India has maintained growth above 7%. Gupta highlighted that improved global conditions could add up to 1 percentage point to growth. She emphasized the importance of domestic investment, foreign direct investment, and food security, noting that food exports remain strong despite El Nino effects. The 1991 economic reforms and strengthened systems underpin this growth trajectory.
