Gita Gopinath Highlights Impact of Elevated Oil Prices on India's Growth and Policy Measures
Former IMF Chief Economist Gita Gopinath warned that elevated oil prices could slow India's economic growth to around 6%, below the IMF's 6.5% forecast, with effects likely lasting into next year. She highlighted risks from prolonged West Asia tensions potentially raising oil prices further and impacting global growth. Gopinath emphasized supply-side reforms, renewable energy adoption, and improving ease of doing business, alongside promoting AI investment, to attract capital and support growth. The Indian government’s limited fuel price increases act as implicit subsidies, with targeted support suggested for vulnerable groups.
