IMF chief predicts brighter outlook for India
Kristalina Georgieva
International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on Thursday predicted a less bad outlook for India in the upcoming World Economic Update due to the steps taken by it
Washington: International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on Thursday predicted a less bad outlook for India in the upcoming World Economic Update due to the steps taken by it.
"When I called on everybody to stay tuned for January 26, that applies very much to India.
You would see a picture in our update that is less bad. Why? Because the country actually has taken very decisive action, very decisive steps to deal with the pandemic and to deal with the economic consequences of it," she said.
The IMF is scheduled to release its World Economic Update on January 26. "What the government has done on the monetary policy and the fiscal policy side is commendable. It is actually slightly above the average for emerging markets.
Emerging markets on average have provided six per cent of the GDP. In India, this is slightly above that. Good for India is that there is still space to do more... If you can do more, please do," Georgieva said.
