CRISIL Maintains GDP Projection

Rating agency CRISIL in its latest report has maintained its projection of India’s economic growth in 2018-19 to 7.6% on the low base.

The rating agency attributed the continuing slowdown to the after-effects of the demonetisation exercise, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implementation and weakness in agriculture.

The CRISIL note comes days after the Central Statistics Office (CSO) came out with its First Advance Estimates of National Income, 2017-18, in which it stated that Indian economy is expected to grow at a four-year low of 6.5% in the current fiscal year 2017-18, as against 7.1% in the fiscal year 2016-17.
