S&P Global Ratingshas revised India’s growth forecast and now expects the economy to grow
- 9.5 percentin2021-22 (FY22)
- 7.0 percentin2022-23 (FY23)
India’s external position is very strong and this is quite supportive of India’s sovereign rating despite the fact that we have had this deterioration in fiscal position concurrently. India is expected to post strong economic growth in the coming quarters, even as inflation, led by food prices, is likely to remain elevated.
Sovereign rating: S&P has kept the lowest investment grade ‘BBB-‘ rating on India, with a stable outlook.
