Notes

  • Global macroeconomic risks include the lingering impact of the West Asia conflict on growth and inflation.
  • Monetary tightening by major global central banks poses risks to international liquidity and growth.
  • Financial market volatility is being driven by AI-related capital flows.
  • Geopolitical tensions and the potential re-emergence of tariff risks are identified as key threats to economic stability.
  • Climate-related factors, specifically El-Nino and below-normal monsoon patterns, are cited as risks to India's growth in FY27.
  • India's growth outlook remains favourable despite external uncertainties.
  • Proactive policy measures by the Government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) are expected to mitigate risks to the current account and exchange rate.
