Introduction
The India Development Update (IDU) observes that India remained the fastest-growing major
economy and grew at a rapid clip of 8.2 percent in FY23/24. Growth was boosted by public
infrastructure investment and an upswing in household investments in real estate. On the
supply side, it was supported by a buoyant manufacturing sector, which grew by 9.9 percent,
and resilient services activity, which compensated for underperformance in agriculture.
Reflecting these trends, urban unemployment has improved gradually since the pandemic,
especially for female workers. Female urban unemployment fell to 8.5 percent in early FY24/25,
although urban youth unemployment remained elevated at 17 percent. With a narrowing of the
current account deficit and strong foreign portfolio investment inflows, foreign exchange
reserves reached an all-time high of $670.1 billion in early August, equivalent to over 11 months
oft cover (in FY23/24 import terms).

Inflation Rates
Inflation, or a rise in the general price level of goods and services, has long been a subject of
concern and debate around the world. It affects everything from the cost of groceries and
housing to the economy's overall health. As the nation gears up for the upcoming general
elections, it becomes crucial to delve into inflation in India to better understand the country's
economic situation.
The annual inflation rate in India rose to 5.49% in September of 2024 from 3.65% in the
previous month, well above market estimates of 5%.
MOSPI statement says the rise in inflation rate for September 2024 is due to high base effect
and weather conditions. The inflation is likely to settle down after the monsoon season and a
growth is seen to be emerging.

The latest World Economic Outlook reports stable but underwhelming global growth, with the
balance of risks tilted to the downside. As monetary policy is eased amid continued disinflation,
shifting gears is needed to ensure that fiscal policy is on a sustainable path and to rebuild fiscal
buffers. Understanding the role of monetary policy in recent global disinflation, and the factors
that influence the social acceptability of structural reforms, will be key to promoting stable and
more rapid growth in the future.
