Benign inflation should shield India from global headwinds: Report
Economic Times
·
1m ago
Medial
The Reserve Bank of India's June bulletin suggests that benign inflation might protect India from global economic challenges stemming from trade barriers and geopolitical uncertainties. Emerging tariff deadlines could impact global growth, but India's economy shows resilience with the highest growth among major economies. Inflation dipped to 2.8% in May, allowing room for potential easing. However, banking sector growth slows, despite higher foreign direct investment, as competition intensifies in deposit spaces.

In January 2025, India's retail inflation eased to 4.31%, primarily due to falling vegetable prices. Further declines are anticipated, with February inflation projected at around 4% by ICRA and 3.9%-4% by India Ratings and Research. Kotak Mahindra Bank suggests this could permit a 25 bps rate cut by the MPC, though INR depreciation should be monitored. Consumer food price inflation dropped to 6.02% in January. The RBI projects retail inflation at 4.4% for Q4 and 4.5% for Q1 FY26.

Inflation expected to average 4.5% this fiscal year: CRISIL

Leading ratings and economic research firm CRISIL predicts that inflation will average around 4.5% for the current financial year. This projection is based on the assumption of a normal monsoon. Food inflation is expected to decrease, while non-food inflation may rise slightly. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate declined marginally to 4.75% in May, down from April's 4.8%. The report highlights concerns over persistent increases in food categories, particularly cereals and pulses. Despite this, rural demand is expected to catch up with urban consumption due to expectations of an above-normal monsoon, while tighter credit conditions may impact the urban economy. Growth in goods exports could also be constrained by slower global growth. As a result, GDP growth is anticipated to slow to 6.8% in the current fiscal year compared to the previous year's 8.2%.

Google has rejected Meta's proposal for app store age verification, citing ineffectiveness and privacy risks. They argue that sharing age data with developers, even for benign apps, poses dangers to children and doesn't adequately protect underage users on devices like desktops or shared family gadgets. Google asserts that age verification should focus on specific websites or apps, not at the operating system level. Apple's App Store shares similar reservations against Meta’s proposal.
