India Scores Strongest Growth Outlook in WEF Economist Survey, Business Climate Slips

The World Economic Forum's latest survey of economists has identified India as having the strongest growth outlook among the economies studied. The report, cited by ThePrint, notes that Indian growth expectations have risen, reflecting optimism about reforms and investment. However, the same survey indicates a decline in India's ranking on the business environment index, suggesting challenges remain for entrepreneurs and investors. Analysts say the contrast highlights the need for continued policy focus on ease of doing business while maintaining growth momentum. The findings come as India seeks to attract foreign direct investment amid a global economic slowdown.
