New Delhi, Jan 9 || A new United Nations (UN) report has said that GDP growth in India is estimated at 6.6 per cent for 2026 and 6.7 per cent for 2027 -- supported by resilient consumption and strong public investment, which should largely offset the adverse impact of higher United States tariffs.
Recent tax reforms and monetary easing should provide additional near-term support, said the 'World Economic Situation and Prospects 2026’ report.
“Several large developing economies, including China, India, and Indonesia, are expected to continue experiencing solid growth driven by resilient domestic demand or targeted policy measures,” the UN report mentioned.
The outlook for South Asia remains relatively strong, though growth is projected to moderate from an estimated 5.9 per cent in 2025 to 5.6 per cent in 2026 before recovering to 5.9 per cent in 2027, it added.
It further stated that the global economy has shown resilience, but the outlook remains clouded by trade tensions, fiscal strains and persistent uncertainty.
