The company expects India’s GDP growth to moderate to 6.8% in fiscal 2025 due to high interest rates, fiscal consolidation and uneven global growth. On the other hand, healthy corporate balance sheets, a robust banking system, the government’s capex focus and the broad basing of private investment will be supportive of domestic activity. Amish Mehta, managing director & CEO of CRISIL said, “While global economic growth surprised on the upside in 2023, it is now expected to moderate in 2024. The momentum in India continues to be good, underscoring the country's growth potential, though private consumption growth bears watching. Global banking clients remain cautious because of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, and are aiming for operational efficiencies, regulatory compliance and business transformation. “
