The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has raised the projection for India’s economic growth rate by 4.7 percentage points at 12.6 per cent for 2021-22.
That would enable India to retain its earlier tag of the fastest growing large economy in the world.
It, however, pegged economic growth rate to come down to 5.4 per cent in 2022-23.
The Indian economy was officially projected to decline by 8 per cent in the current fiscal year.
However, OECD believes that contraction would be less steep at 7.4 per cent.
