World Economic Situation and Prospects Report 2025

The United Nations’ World Economic Situation and Prospects report 2025 projects India’s economy to grow by 6.6%, driven by strong private consumption, investment, and infrastructure development. Supported by public sector funding, infrastructure projects will enhance connectivity and social services. Agriculture is set to benefit from favourable monsoons, boosting rural incomes. India’s performance remains pivotal for South Asia’s projected growth of 5.7% in 2025. However, risks such as geopolitical tensions, declining external demand, and climate hazards pose challenges. The report highlights India’s economic resilience and the critical role of infrastructure investment in sustaining long-term growth.
