The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has on Wednesday brought down its growth forecast for India from 9.7% estimated earlier to 9.4% for FY22.
The OECD has also maintained that the ongoing economic recovery is gaining traction, supported by progress in vaccination, which is boosting consumer sentiment.

In September, while paring India’s FY22 growth projection from 9.9% to 9.7%, the Paris headquartered OECD had cited still persisting risk of lasting costs from the pandemic.
OECD has projected the Indian economy to grow at 8.1% in FY23, and moderate to 5.5% in FY24.
According to OECD, low-skilled domestic migrants and urban workers, who faced the brunt of employment shocks in both waves of the pandemic in India, have yet to see their earnings return to pre-pandemic levels.
