Title: World Bank Raises India's GDP Growth Projection to 7.2% for FY26 - Kashmir Observer
# World Bank Raises India’s GDP Growth Projection to 7.2% for FY26. World Bank Raises India's GDP Growth Projection to 7.2% for FY26. **New Delhi-** The World Bank has raised India’s GDP growth forecast to 7.2 per cent for the current fiscal, up by 0.9 percentage points from its June projections, on the back of robust domestic demand and tax reforms. In its flagship report “Global Economic Prospects”, the World Bank also said growth in India is projected to slow to 6.5 per cent in 2026-27. “Even so, India is expected to maintain the fastest growth rate among the world’s largest economies,” the report said. The World Bank further said that despite higher tariffs on certain exports to the United States, the growth forecast has remained unchanged relative to June projections, primarily because the adverse impacts of those tariffs will be offset by stronger momentum in domestic demand and more resilient exports than previously anticipated. On the economic growth for the current year, the report said: “In India, growth is estimated to increase to 7.2 per cent in fiscal year (FY) 2025/26 (April 2025 to March 2026), as domestic demand has remained robust, reflecting strong private consumption, supported by earlier tax reforms and improvements in real household earnings in rural areas”. In June, the multilateral lending agency had estimated India’s growth at 6.3 per cent. ### RBI Raises GDP Growth Projection of Q1, Q2 of FY27. ### FM Projects India’s Growth at 6.8–7.2%, Flags Global Uncertainty.

World Bank Raises India's GDP Growth Projection To 7.2% For FY26. In June, the multilateral lending agency had estimated India's growth at 6.3 per cent.

The World Bank further said that despite higher tariffs on certain exports to the United States, the growth forecast has remained unchanged relative to June projections, primarily because the adverse impacts of those tariffs will be offset by stronger momentum in domestic demand and more resilient exports than previously anticipated. "Growth is set to inch up to 6.6 per cent in FY2027/28, underpinned by robust services activity, as well as a recovery in exports and a pickup in investment," it added. On the economic growth for the current year, the report said: "In India, growth is estimated to increase to 7.2 per cent in fiscal year (FY) 2025/26 (April 2025 to March 2026), as domestic demand has remained robust, reflecting strong private consumption, supported by earlier tax reforms and improvements in real household earnings in rural areas".

On the rupee, the World Bank said India's currency has depreciated since May amid capital outflows driven by higher US tariffs and heightened trade-related uncertainty. The faster-than-expected pace of growth capped a five-year global recovery from the 2020 recession unmatched in more than six decades, but this masks a sharp divergence, it said.

Title: World Bank raises Philippine GDP growth projection for 2025 - BusinessWorld Online
Home One News World Bank raises Philippine GDP growth projection for 2025. # World Bank raises Philippine GDP growth projection for 2025. THE WORLD BANK (WB) maintained its economic growth forecast for the Philippines this year but raised its 2025 growth projection, amid expectations of higher consumer spending and foreign investments. In its latest East Asia and Pacific (EAP) Economic Update, the World Bank said it expects Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) to grow by 5.8% this year, the fastest in Southeast Asia along with Cambodia. For 2025, the World Bank raised its GDP forecast for the Philippines to 5.9% from 5.8%. However, the World Bank’s growth forecasts for the Philippines are lower than the government’s target of 6.5-7.5% for 2024 and 6.5-8% for 2025 to 2028. “What has sustained growth in the Philippines, like much of the region, has been consumption and the recovery in services,” WB East Asia and Pacific Chief Economist Aaditya Mattoo said at a virtual briefing on Monday. The World Bank projects GDP growth for East Asia and the Pacific at 4.5% this year and 4.3% for 2025. “Most economies in developing East Asia and Pacific, other than several Pacific island countries, are growing faster than the rest of the world, but slower than before the pandemic,” the World Bank said. “China is aiming to transition to a more balanced growth path but the quest to ignite alternative demand drivers is proving difficult,” the World Bank said. **POVERTY TO DECLINE** Meanwhile, the World Bank expects Philippine GDP growth to average at 5.9% from 2024 to 2026, driven by strong domestic demand. “The medium-term outlook will be driven by robust private consumption activity, supported by declining inflation, a healthy labor market and steady remittance inflows,” it said in its Macro Poverty Outlook for the Philippines. “Poverty incidence using the World Bank’s poverty line for lower middle-income countries of $3.65/day, PPP (purchasing power parity) is projected to decrease from 17.8% in 2021 to 12.2% in 2024 and further decrease to 9.3% in 2026,” it said. The World Bank said risks to this outlook include high inflation that would “dampen economic activity by keeping the policy rate higher for longer, erode purchasing power and threaten to deepen poverty and worsen economic vulnerability.”.

Malaysia's 2025 GDP growth likely to exceed projection: World Bank economist. **KUALA LUMPUR:** Malaysia’s growth for 2025 will probably exceed the earlier projection following stronger-than-expected third-quarter growth and resilient domestic demand despite global headwinds, according to the World Bank’s lead economist for Malaysia, Dr Apurva Sanghi. But it’s great news that all three quarters have shown pretty resilient growth this year,” he told reporters at the National Economic Outlook Conference organised by the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research today. Apurva said the World Bank will revise its official 2025 as well as 2026 gross domestic product (GDP) projections in April once fourth-quarter 2025 figures become available. According to the most recent public statements from the World Bank in October, its forecast for Malaysia’s real GDP growth in 2025 is 4.1%. Apurva noted that Malaysia’s ability to sustain around 4%-plus annual growth is “hugely positive” at a time when the global economy is grappling with slowing investment, rising debt and weak external demand. He cautioned, however, that 2026 will be the real test, particularly as global growth is expected to weaken further and foreign investment flows into developing economies continue to soften. On foreign investment, Apurva said Malaysia continues to attract inflows even as FDI into developing countries overall has slowed. “In Malaysia, FDI has increased, a lot of it driven by data centres.”. Apurva said Malaysia’s shift towards high-value sectors and “the right kind of investment” is encouraging, but “the real test is whether it materialises. ### NetApp Malaysia launches new storage systems for AI and high-performance workloads. ## Malaysia’s Telugu community welcomes Ugadi new year. the sun malaysia logo 508x350. the sun malaysia google play app. the sun malaysia mobile app apple app store. the sun malaysia mobile app huawei app gallery.

MANILA, Philippines — The World Bank (WB) has retained its 5.8-percent economic growth forecast for the Philippines this year, short of the government’s target rate amid a number of downside risks both foreign and domestic. In the June 2024 edition of the World Bank’s Philippines Economic Update Report, the multilateral lender said it projects the Philippines’ gross domestic product (GDP), or the sum of all goods and services produced within the country, will grow by 5.8 in 2024. “Growth is expected to be driven by strong household consumption, sustained strength in the services sector, and improved trade stemming from a rebound in global demand for goods and the continued recovery of services exports such as tourism,” the World Bank said in a statement. *Article continues after this advertisement*.

# World Bank retains 2022 GDP growth projection for Serbia.

At 2.7%, the 2023 GDP growth forecast also remains unchanged from June. Serbia’s GDP is projected to grow 2.8% in 2024.
