ECONOMY & BUSINESS

India’s GDP Growth to decline to 5.7% in 2022: UNCTADIndia's GDP growth to decline to 5.7 pc in 2022The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has released its ‘Trade and Development Report 2022- Development prospects in a fractured world: Global disorder and regional responses’ which stated a decline in India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) forecast to 5.7% in 2022 as compared to 8.2% in 2021.

  • India’s growth will further drop to 4.7% in 2023.
  • The key reason behind this decline is higher financing cost and weaker public expenditures.
  • Government deficits in 2020 (2021) ranged 12.8% (11.3%) of GDP in India.

Key Points:
i.As per the report, the India’s Central Government’s Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme incentivized the corporate investment, but an increase in import bills for fossil energy is affecting the trade deficit.
ii.On the regional front, South Asia will grow at 4.9% in 2022 amid inflation hike due to  high energy prices, exacerbating Balance of Payment (BoP), among others.

  • In 2023, the region’s growth will further decelerate to 4.1%.

Global Scenario:
i.UNCTAD projected world economic growth to slow to 2.5% in 2022 and drop to 2.2% in 2023.
ii.The global slowdown will result in real GDP below its pre-pandemic level, costing the world more than $17 trillion.

  • Currently, the world economy is facing ‘cascading and multiplying‘ crises, with incomes still below 2019 levels in many major economies.

iii.The average growth rate for developing economies is projected to drop below 3% which is is insufficient for sustainable development
iv.The report warns that monetary and fiscal policy moves in advanced economies risk pushing the world towards global recession and prolonged stagnation which will be worse than the financial crisis in 2008 and the COVID-19 shock in 2020.

  • For example: The interest rate hikes in the United States (US) in 2022 are set to cut an estimated $360 billion of future income for developing countries (excluding China).
