Economic News: India Set to Become Fastest Growing Economy This Year, World Bank Issues Report

Economic News: India’s economic growth is expected to resume momentum, with the World Bank forecasting a GDP growth rate of 6.7% in 2025, making it the world’s fastest-growing economy. The World Bank predicts that India’s growth rate will stabilize at 6.7% over the next four years, owing to a steadily growing service sector and increased emphasis on manufacturing. While this is a decline from the prior rate of 8.2%, it indicates consistent development despite global concerns. The government’s strategic measures in key industries are likely to boost economic development even more, consolidating India’s status as a global economic growth leader.

China, US to Experience Slow Growth

Meanwhile, big economies such as China and the United States are predicted to grow at a slower rate. The World Bank expects that China's GDP will rise to 4.5% by 2026, with a possible fall to 4% next year. Similarly, the United States, the world’s largest economy, is expected to see its growth rate fall from 2.8% last year to 2.3% this year and then to 2% by 2026. The US government’s study emphasizes the risks associated with domestic trade conflicts and tariff increases. Despite global economic uncertainty, India has shown resilience through considerable advances in manufacturing and services, aided by well-executed government initiatives.
