Forecast puts GDP growth at 11-year low of 5%

印度2019-2020财年GDP增长率预测为5%，为11年来的最低水平

NEW DELHI: The economy is forecast to grow at its slowest pace in 11 years in 2019-20, dragged down by anaemic manufacturing, slowing services sector growth, as well as sluggish investment and consumption. With the Union Budget less than a month away, the dismal forecast will add pressure on the authorities to revive the economy.

新德里：受制造业疲弱、服务业增长放缓、投资和消费低迷的拖累，预计到2019- 2020年，印度经济增速将降至11年来的最低水平。距联邦预算公布不到一个月，这一令人沮丧的预测将给当局重振经济带来压力。

The National Statistical Office on Tuesday forecast GDP growth to be 5% in 2019-20, slower than the previous year's 6.8% and in line with the RBI estimate. If this growth is realised, then it would be the slowest since 3.1% posted in 2008-09 in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Nominal GDP, which is the market value of goods and services produced in the economy but not adjusted for inflation, is estimated to grow at a42-year low of 7.5%.

印度国家统计局周二预计，2019- 2020年印度GDP增速为5%，低于上年6.8%的增速，与印度央行的估计相符。如果这一增长成为现实，那么这将是自全球金融危机后2008-09年3.1%增速以来的最低增速。名义GDP(不考虑通胀因素的商品和服务的市场价值)预计将以7.5%的速度增长，为42年来的最低水平。

Manufacturing is estimated to slow to 2% in 2019-20 from 6.9% the previous year while the services sector, which accounts for nearly 60% of the economy, is forecast to grow by 6.9%, slower than 7.5% in the previous year.

预计到2019- 2020年，制造业增速将从前一年的6.9%降至2%，而占经济近60%的服务业增速将为6.9%，低于前一年的7.5%。

GDP data points to weak investment in FY20

GDP数据显示2020财年投资疲软

Economists said there is a sharp decline in the growth of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) from 10% in FY19 (revised estimate) to 1% in FY20 (advance estimate), reflecting the subdued investment activity in the economy.

经济学家表示，固定资本形成总额(GFCF)的增长率从2019财年的10%(修正后)大幅下降至2020财年的1%(预估)，反映出投资活动低迷。

The government aims to rein in the fiscal deficit at 3.3% of gross domestic product in the current fiscal year but the pressure on revenues may widen the deficit. There have been calls for relaxng the deficit target to provide space for stimulus to the economy but the government has so far maintained that it will stick to the path of fiscal consolidation.

印度政府的目标是将本财年的财政赤字控制在GDP的3.3%，但财政收入的压力可能会扩大赤字。有人呼吁放宽赤字目标，为刺激经济提供空间，但印度政府迄今仍将坚持财政稳固之路。
