IMF gives India a thumbs up, but flags some risks
The IMF is pretty impressed with India's recent economic growth—think 6.5% last year and a solid 7.8% jump at the start of this year.
But they're also cautioning that risks remain and growth could slow.
Growth is expected to cool off a bit, especially if US tariffs on Indian exports stick around.
Why does it matter?
The IMF isn't just cheering from the sidelines—they're warning about global tensions and trade barriers that could make things tougher for India.
Plus, unpredictable weather still messes with rural incomes and prices.
Their advice? Stay smart with government spending, consider easing up on tariffs where it counts, and keep pushing for reforms in human capital, trade integration, and the green transition.
The recent GST tweaks should help keep inflation in check—a win for everyone's wallet.
