IMF Welcomes India's Statistical Reforms Amid 7.8% GDP Growth and Economic Resilience
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has welcomed India's efforts to modernise its statistical framework, including the introduction of a new Index of Industrial Production and Producer Price Index series, which are expected to improve GDP estimate accuracy. India's real GDP grew by 7.8% in the second quarter, surpassing IMF staff expectations and consensus forecasts. This growth was driven by stronger-than-expected activity in the services sector and exports. The IMF highlighted the resilience of the Indian economy despite energy price shocks and continues to monitor the impact of higher oil prices.
