|May 17, 2025
The United Nations has revised India's economic growth downwards for 2025 to 6.3 per cent, and said that despite a projected moderation, the country remains one of the fastest-growing large economies.
The growth will be supported by resilient consumption and government spending, it said.
In its report titled 'The World Economic Situation and Prospects as of mid-2025,' UN said the global economy is at a precarious juncture, marked by heightened trade tensions and elevated policy uncertainty.
The recent surge in tariffs driving the effective US tariff rate up steeply threatens to raise production costs, disrupt global supply chains and amplify financial turbulence.
The report said that despite a projected moderation, India remains one of the fastest-growing large economies, supported by resilient consumption and government spending.
