IMF on India’s GDP: At a time when the world’s economic growth is slowing down, India’s GDP is growing strongly. This has been approved by Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He said that at a time when many big economies of the world are facing challenges, India is playing an important role in global economic development.
During the annual meeting of IMF and World Bank held in Washington, Georgieva said that India’s strong economic policies and reformative steps have made it one of the fastest growing economies of the world.

Georgieva said that before the Corona epidemic, the global economy was expected to grow at the rate of 3.7 percent, but now it is limited to about 3 percent. He said that the last few years have seen a huge change in the global economic pace – while China’s economy slowed down, India’s has accelerated its pace. He further said that India has proved the doubters wrong on the basis of strong reforms and consistent policy efforts.
