RBI forecasts India’s real GDP growth at 7%

‘Despite subdued global economic activity and multiple headwinds, the Indian economy expanded impressively, with real GDP growth accelerating to 7.6 per cent from 7.0 per cent in the previous year – the third successive year of 7 per cent or above growth,’ the RBI highlighted in its the annual statement. RBI further said that India’s share in world remittance receipts is estimated to increase to 15.2 per cent in 2024 from 11.1 per cent in 2019.
