estimated by the World Bank?Solution
The World Bank has recently released its ‘January 2020 Global Economic Prospects report’. The GDP growth of India for FY20 is estimated to be 5%. The GDP growth for the year 2021-22 is also lowered to 5.8% in the report. The credit instability of the weak Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) is cited to be the reason for the downgrade.
