Economic Times

Medial
India's Chief Economic Adviser, V Anantha Nageswaran, anticipates a modest GDP impact from Trump's tariffs, estimating a 0.2% to 0.3% reduction. This is due to offsetting measures such as GST cuts and a favorable monsoon. Despite high US tariffs, India's Q1 GDP growth reached 7.8%, a sign of macroeconomic stability. Structural reforms, including GST, are credited for resilience against economic shocks, with expectations that tariff pressures will diminish in a quarter or two.

India's Chief Economic Advisor, V Anantha Nageswaran, has highlighted the need for India to avoid 'financialisation' as it aims to become a developed nation by 2047. Currently, India's stock market capitalization is around 140% of its GDP, which raises concerns about the dominance of market considerations in public and policy discourse. Nageswaran warns that financialisation could lead to high levels of debt, reliance on asset prices for economic growth, and a surge in inequality. He emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between national imperatives and investor interests, while retaining policy autonomy and insulating the economy from global capital flows.

US President Trump's 25% tariff on Russian imports may reduce India's GDP growth by 20-30 basis points this fiscal year, notes economists. Despite this, India's economy, driven largely by domestic demand, is expected to bear minimal impact. Economists like Goldman Sachs project a slight 0.3 percentage point drop in GDP growth. S&P and others predict small declines but emphasize India's trade surplus and domestic orientation as cushions against significant economic disruption.
