Dun & Bradstreet, renowned for its expertise in business analytics, has unveiled its Economy Observer report for May 2025, outlining significant macroeconomic trends in India. The report provides revised GDP growth forecasts, a favorable inflation outlook, and insights into the INR/USD exchange rate.
The GDP growth forecast for 2025-26 has been adjusted from 6.8% to 6.3%, largely due to external challenges like U.S. tariff pressures and trade tensions. However, positive domestic factors and the Reserve Bank of India's accommodative policy shifts are expected to stimulate domestic demand and provide some economic resilience.
On the inflation front, Dun & Bradstreet anticipates a decline in CPI to 2.8% and WPI to 1.3% due to easing input cost pressures and stable rural consumption. Furthermore, the exchange rate appreciation of the Indian rupee against the dollar reflects stability amid global financial market fluctuations.
