The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has raised its economic growth forecast for India in 2023 to 6.6%, up from the previous prediction of 6%. However, it expects growth to slow to 6.2% in 2024. The UNCTAD also predicts global economic output growth to decelerate to 2.4% in 2023 before a small uptick to 2.5% in 2024. The report highlights the need for policy changes and institutional reforms to prevent a lost decade, and mentions that some economies, including India, have shown resilience while others face challenges.
