OECD Sees Growth Momentum Only in India

Organisation for Economic Cooperation (OECD) in a report said India is the “only major economy” that is projected to see a pick-up in growth momentum whereas mixed trends are predicted for the developed world.

In September, CLI for India touched 99.1, the highest since May this year when it stood at 98.6. In August, it was at 99, Paris-based think tank said.

Most of the major economies, developed and developing, including the United States, Brazil, China and Russia, are expected to witness stable growth momentum.

However, it said indicators point to weak growth in Europe. OECD added that CLI points to growth losing traction in Japan even though such a trend may be related to one-off factors.

Last month, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank projected 5.6 per cent growth rate for India this year, citing renewed confidence in the market due to a series of economic reforms pursued by the new government.

India's economic growth was below 5 per cent in the last two financial years. Recently, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) forecast Indian economy to grow at 5.5 per cent in 2014-15 and at 6.3 per cent in next financial year 2015-16.
