What is the Goldilocks Phase?
A Goldilocks economy refers to a “just right” economic state — not too hot (causing inflation) and not too cold (causing recession). For India in mid-2025, the indicators are pointing toward this ideal balance:
Inflation easing below 5%
GDP growth hovering around 7%
Stable interest rates from RBI
Strong domestic consumption & exports
🧮 Key Economic Indicators Driving This Phase
| Metric | Current Value (2025) | Signal |
|---|---|---|
| CPI Inflation | ~4.8% YoY | Controlled |
| Repo Rate | 6.5% | Stable |
| GDP Growth | 7.1% (FY25 projection) | Healthy & balanced |
| Forex Reserves | $650+ billion | Currency stability |
| Unemployment Rate | Below 7% | Improving job market |
