IMF slashes India’s FY22 growth to 9.5% from 12

国际货币基金组织将印度2022财年的增长率从12%下调至9.5%

NEW DELHI: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday cut India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth to 9.5% for 2021-22, from its earlier estimate of 12.5%, citing the impact of the second wave on the economy and recovery process.

新德里：周二，国际货币基金组织(IMF)将印度2021-2022年的国内生产总值(GDP)增速从此前估计的12.5%下调至9.5%，理由是第二波疫情对经济和复苏进程的影响。

In its latest update to the World Economic Outlook, the IMF said growth prospects in India have been downgraded, following the severe second Covid wave during March–May and expected slow recovery in confidence from that setback.

国际货币基金组织在其最新的《世界经济展望》中表示，在3月至5月发生严重的第二波疫情之后，印度的增长率被下调，预计从这次挫折中信心恢复缓慢。

“Faster-than-expected vaccination rates and return to normalcy have led to upgrades, while lack of access to vaccines and renewed waves of Covid-19 cases in some countries, notably India, have led to downgrades,” IMF chief economist Gita Gopinath said in a blog.

IMF首席经济学家Gita Gopinath在博客中表示：“快于预期的疫苗接种率和恢复正常促使上调，而一些国家(尤其是印度)缺乏疫苗和新一波疫情导致了下调。”

In countries with high vaccination coverage, such as the UK and Canada, the impact would be mild. Meanwhile, countries lagging in vaccination, such as India and Indonesia, would suffer the most among G20 economies, according to the World Economic outlook update. China is estimated to grow by 8.1% in 2021 and by 5.7% next year, while India is projected to grow by 8.5% in 2022-23. India still retains the tag of the fastest growing major economy.

在疫苗接种覆盖率高的国家，如英国和加拿大，影响将是温和的。与此同时，根据最新的《世界经济展望》，在G20经济体中，印度和印度尼西亚等疫苗接种滞后的国家将遭受最严重的打击。据估计，中国在今年和明年的增长率分别为8.1%和5.7%，而印度在2022-2023财年的增长率预计为8.5%。印度仍然是增长最快的主要经济体。

IMF is the latest in a string of economists, brokerages, multilateral agencies, which have reduced India’s GDP growth estimates against the backdrop of the second wave, which hurt the economy. The RBI now estimates GDP growth at 9.5% for 2021-22, lowering it from its earlier estimate of 10.5%.

在印度经济受到第二波冲击的背景下，经济学家、券商和多边机构纷纷下调了印度的GDP增长预期，IMF是其中最新的一个。印度储备银行目前估计，2021-2022财年印度GDP增速为9.5%，低于此前预计的10.5%。

The government expects growth to be robust for the current fiscal and experts say impact of the second wave is likely to be limited to the April-June quarter with some possible spillover to July. The global economy is projected to grow 6% in 2021 and 4.9% in 2022. The 2021 global forecast is unchanged from the April 2021 WEO, but with offsetting revisions.

印度政府预计，在当前财政状况下，经济增长将保持强劲。专家表示，第二波疫情对增长的影响可能仅限于4 - 6月这一季度，可能会在7月产生溢出效应。预计2021年全球经济将增长6%，2022年将增长4.9%。2021年全球预测与2021年4月《世界经济展望》持平，但进行了抵消性修正。
