The chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Pierre Olivier Gourinchas, said that India’s growth outlook remains resilient despite rising global uncertainty triggered by the West Asia conflict. Talking to media, Mr. Gourinchas said that India performed well in 2025, with growth estimated at 7.6 percent, and is projected to grow around 6.5 percent in 2026. However, he warned that inflation may rise to about 4.7 percent in 2026 due to higher global energy prices and rising food costs. The IMF’s assessment underscores India’s position as a key driver of global growth at a time when many economies are grappling with slowing expansion and rising uncertainty.
