India To Grow At Slightly More Than 1% Over 2 Years: IMF Chief Economist | Read

India will grow at slightly over 1 per cent over 2020 and 2021, Gita Gopinath, chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Thursday, as the global agency found that the coronavirus pandemic has caused wider and deeper damage to economic activity than first thought. "If you look at the growth projection for 2020 and add 2021, over two years, growth in India will be slightly over 1 per cent. That is not a very strong growth picture but it is similar to many other countries around the globe," Ms Gopinath told NDTV in an interview.
