IMF drastically cuts India’s GDP growth estimate. Growth rate will be just 4.8 percent

Significantly, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief economist Geeta Gopinath recently warned that the IMF may significantly reduce its estimate of India’s growth in January. In an event, Gopinath said, “We will revise our figures and release new figures in January.” This can be reduced significantly in the case of India.

Skeptics on the $ 5 trillion economy goal

With this, Gopinath expressed doubt on the government’s goal of $ 5 trillion economy.
