🇮🇳 India a ‘Bright Spot’ Amid Global Uncertainty, Says CEA Nageswaran
India’s economic momentum continues to shine despite mounting global challenges. Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) Dr. V. Anantha Nageswaran described India as a “bright spot” in the current volatile global economic landscape, citing its strong macroeconomic fundamentals, structural reforms, and investor confidence.
Speaking at an industry event, Nageswaran emphasized that India’s growth remains resilient even as major economies grapple with inflation, conflict, and financial instability.
📈 Why India Stands Out
According to the CEA, India’s sustained progress can be attributed to:
Strong GDP growth projections for FY2025 (6.5% to 7% range)
Resilient domestic consumption and investment demand
Prudent fiscal management and continued capex push
A young, digitally enabled workforce
Structural reforms like PLI schemes, GST, and digital public infrastructure
“While the global economy is struggling with policy uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, India offers a stable and promising destination for capital and manufacturing,” said Nageswaran.
🌍 Global Headwinds vs. India’s Stability
The backdrop of high interest rates, slowing China, regional wars, and supply chain disruptions has rattled many economies. Yet, India has managed to retain investor trust and maintain growth:
Inflation under control despite oil price volatility
Robust forex reserves cushioning against external shocks
Rising exports in electronics, services, and renewable energy
💬 Industry Reaction
Market participants and economists agree with the CEA’s outlook. India's stock markets, FDI inflows, and manufacturing PMI continue to signal strength.
“India is not just a safe haven, it is becoming a driver of growth globally,” noted an economist from a leading brokerage firm.
