Fitch revises outlook on India to stable from negative

New Delhi, June 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) Ratings agency Fitch Ratings has revised its outlook on India to stable from negative.

"The Outlook revision reflects our view that downside risks to medium-term growth have diminished due to India's rapid economic recovery and easing financial sector weaknesses, despite near-term headwinds from the global commodity price shock," it said in a statement on Friday.

 

The ratings agency expects a robust growth relative to peers to support credit metrics in line with the current rating.

It expects India's GDP to grow by 7.8 per cent in FY23.

Reportedly, the ratings agency had lowered the outlook to negative in June 2020 after the imposition of the strict nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

The stringent restrictions on movement and economic activity dragged the economy into a technical recession -- two consecutive quarters of year-on-year decline in growth.

Further, in the medium-term, the agency said India's growth outlook is strong as compared to its peers and it expects growth of around 7 per cent between FY24 and FY27.

According to the Reserve Bank of India, the country's real GDP growth in FY23 is seen at 7.2 per cent, with 16.2 per cent in Q1, 6.2 per cent in Q2, 4.1 in Q3, and 4.0 in Q4, with risks broadly balanced.
