CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has praised India’s strong economic growth, describing the country as a key engine of global economic development.
According to the IMF, India’s economy has performed strongly despite global uncertainties and shocks from energy prices. India’s real GDP growth stood at 7.8 percent in the April-June 2026 quarter, better than expected.
IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack attributed this rapid growth mainly to improved activity in the services sector and strength in exports. She said the resilience of the Indian economy remained notable even amid the energy crisis. The IMF has also supported recent changes made in India for calculating GDP.
India’s 7.8 percent GDP growth has come at a time when the global economy is facing risks such as energy prices, geopolitical tensions and rising debt. The IMF has also projected global economic growth at around 3 percent in 2026.
However, some experts have raised questions over India’s new GDP figures. In this context, along with economic growth, transparency in data and clarity on the calculation method are also being considered important.
