Indian economy will grow at 8.3% in 2021, says World Bank

世界银行称，2021年印度经济将增长8.3%

NEW DELHI: Indian economy is expected to expand 8.3 per cent in fiscal year 2021-22, a report by World Bank projected on Tuesday.

新德里：世界银行周二发布的一份报告预计，2021-2022财年，印度经济将增长8.3%。

In its latest issue of Global Economic Prospects, the Washington-based global lender said that even though the forecast has been revised up by 2.9 percentage points, its masks significant expected economic damage from the second wave of Covid-19.

在最新一期的《全球经济展望》中，这家总部位于华盛顿的全球借贷机构表示，尽管该预测被上调了2.9个百分点，但它掩盖了第二波新冠疫情可能造成的重大经济损失。

Besides, it projected the global economy to grow 5.6 per cent this year, up from the 4.1 per cent it forecasted in January. It said that Covid vaccinations and stimulus given by various central governments will power the fastest worldwide expansion in nearly five decades.

此外，报告预计今年全球经济将增长5.6%，高于1月份预测的4.1%。报告称，新冠肺炎疫苗接种和各国政府的刺激措施将推动全球近50年来最快的扩张。

Here are some highlights from the report:

以下是报告中的一些重点:

* In India, an enormous second Covid-19 wave is undermining the sharper-than-expected rebound in activity seen during the second half of FY2020-21, especially in services.

在印度，第二波大规模疫情正在削弱2020-2021财年下半年超出预期的活动反弹，尤其是服务业。

* With surging Covid cases, foot traffic around work and retail spaces has again slowed to more than one-third below pre-pandemic levels since March, in part due to greater restrictions on mobility.

随着新冠病例的激增，自3月份以来，工作场所和零售场所周围的人流量再次降低，低于疫情前水平超过三分之一，部分原因是流动性受到了更大的限制。
