FAQ :
The Finance Ministry has described the economic outlook as 'cautiously optimistic' for the coming months.
Favourable monsoon conditions, increased minimum support prices (MSPs), and adequate input supplies are driving agricultural growth.
Retail inflation peaked at 6.2% in October, primarily due to elevated prices of vegetables like tomatoes, onions, and potatoes caused by supply disruptions, as well as imported inflation from rising international edible oil prices.
While global inflation shows a disinflationary trend, sticky core inflation driven by wage growth and services inflation, along with slower fiscal consolidation, could sustain inflationary trends.
The report highlights positive trends in formal employment and manufacturing, but exports face challenges due to softening demand in developed economies, though the services sector remains robust.
Downside risks include potential repricing of financial assets, market instability, and higher borrowing costs for emerging markets like India.
