At 7.2%, India to stay fastest growing economy

印度经济增速将达到7.2%，仍是增长最快的经济体

NEW DELHI: In some welcome news for a government heading into national polls in a few months, the Central Statistics Office on Monday forecast that the economy will grow 7.2% in 2018-19, faster than the previous year’s 6.7% expansion.

新德里消息: 周一，中央统计局预测，2018-19财年印度经济增速将达到7.2%，高于前一年度的6.7%，这对即将在几个月后进行全国大选的政府来说是个好消息。

The estimate is a shade lower than the RBI’s, which expects the economy to grow 7.4% in the current fiscal year that ends in March.

这一预测略低于印度央行的预期。印度央行预计，在截至3月份的本财年，印度经济将增长7.4%。

The forecast will help India keep the fastest growing economy tag as growth in is expected to slow.

这一预测将有助于印度保持经济增长最快的标签，因为经济增速预计将放缓。

“Very healthy advance GDP growth numbers for 2018-19. India remains fastest growing major economy globally,” said economic affairs secretary S C Garg.

经济事务秘书S C Garg称：“印度2018-19财年的GDP增长数据非常稳健，我们仍然是全球增长最快的主要经济体。”

The manufacturing sector is estimated to grow by 8.3% in 2018-19, faster than the previous year’s 5.7% while farm sector is set to grow by 3.8% compared with 3.4% in 2017-18. Construction is expected to show signs of a turnaround growing by an annual 8.9% compared with 5.7% expansion in the previous year.

制造业预计在2018-19年增长8.3%，高于前一年度的5.7%，而农业预计增长3.8%，高于2017-18年度的3.4%。建筑业预计将显示出好转的迹象，年增长率为8.9%，高于上一年度的5.7%。

“Revival in private investment is critical to sustaining the upswing in overall investments. Improvement in private consumption demand and a stable election outcome will play an important role in that,” said D K Joshi, chief economist at ratings agency Crisil.

信用评级机构Crisil的首席经济学家D K Joshi称：“私人投资的复苏对于维持总体投资的增长至关重要。个人消费需求的改善和选举结果的稳定将在这方面发挥重要作用”。

“Private consumption was a sore spot with its growth slip a new to 6.4% from 6.6% as farm incomes and rural wage growth remained weak. Real agriculture GDP growth was strong at 3.8% but nominal growth fell to 3.8% from 4.5% suggesting farmers are realising less from their produce,” he added.

“由于农业收入和农村工资增长依然疲弱，私人消费从6.6%下滑至6.4%，成为经济增长的一大痛点。实际农业GDP增长强劲，为3.8%，但名义增长率从4.5%降至3.8%，表明农民从农产品中获得的收益减少了。”他补充到。

Economists said on the consumption side, the FY15-FY19 private final consumption expenditure average growth of 6.8% is 40 basis points higher than the previous 5 year average.

经济学家表示，在消费方面，15- 19财年私人最终消费支出6.8%的平均增幅比前5年的平均增幅高出40个基点。

World economy is supposed to slow in 2019-20 so 7.2% growth would be a great accomplishment for India. However, this will require a very stable govt at the center led by a very capable PM and of course a lot of hard work from citizens.

世界经济预计将在2019- 2020年放缓，因此7.2%的增速对印度来说将是一个巨大的成就。然而，这需要印度有一个稳定的中央政府，有一位非常能干的总理领导，当然也离不开印度人民的辛勤工作。

What does fastest growing mean. US Economy is 7 times the size of India. Even if US grows at 2% and India grows at 8%, in Dollar terms, US adds more to its GDP than India. Ditto for . A Third World ultra poor Shythole like India should grow at least at Double Digit like did for last three decades

增长最快意味着什么?美国经济规模是印度的7倍，即使美国以2%的速度增长，印度以8%的速度增长，以美元计算，美国GDP也大于印度。亦如此。像印度这样的第三世界超级贫困国家应该至少像在过去30年那样实现两位数的增长。
