The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Friday has estimated the growth rate of GDP of the countries of the world. In this, IFF has estimated India’s economic growth to be 6.3% in 2026 and 6.5% in 2027. However, this estimate released by IMF has been made on the basis of calendar year. This estimate has been made due to the country’s strong domestic demand, continuity in investment activities and structural reforms. The report said that despite global uncertainties, the Indian economy is in a position to maintain comparatively better performance and may remain among the fastest growing major economies of the world in the coming years.
Global economic growth estimated to be 3.3% in 2026
The IMF expects the global economy to continue growing at a steady pace. According to the latest revision of the World Economic Outlook (October 2025), global economic growth is projected to be 3.3 percent in 2026 and 3.2 percent in 2027, slightly higher than earlier estimates. According to the report, the acceleration in technology investment, support from fiscal and monetary policies, favorable financial conditions and the adaptability of the private sector have largely balanced the impact of changes in trade policies.
Inflation rates will decline worldwide
There is hope of relief at the global level on the inflation front. It is estimated that inflation rates will decline worldwide, although inflation in the US will return relatively slowly to its target level. The report also warned that several downside risks to the economic outlook remain. Among these, reassessment of expectations related to technology and possible increase in geopolitical tensions are the major risk factors. Policymakers have been advised to restore fiscal buffers, maintain price and financial stability, reduce policy uncertainties, and effectively implement structural reforms for long-term growth.
