India only major economy to see double-digit growth in 2021: International Monetary Fund

Tribune News Service New Delhi, January 27 The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says India will be the only major economy of the world to register a double-digit growth in 2021 even as it asked the government for a social security net to give a humane face to the farm laws. The IMF’s projection of 11.5 per cent growth rate in 2021 in its latest World Economic Outlook Update showed a strong rebound in the economy, which may have contracted by eight per cent in 2020. Gita Gopinath, IMF Chief Economist ‘Protect those who can be impacted’ Farm laws have the potential to represent a significant step forward for agricultural reforms in India. But the govt must properly protect those who can be impacted during the transition to this new system.
