Crisil Scales Down India’s GDP Growth Forecast To 8.1% For FY09

Rating agency, Crisil Ltd has lowered its estimation for India’s gross CRISILdomestic product (GDP) growth for the current fiscal to 8.1 percent from 8.5 percent.

Crisil attributed increasing inflation and interest rates, together with a declining global growth viewpoint for the downward revision of GDP.

In a declaration, the agency said that it anticipates overall growth to remain strong regardless of the moderation, which is driven by investment.

As the existing inflationary prospects are way beyond the RBI’s comfort zone of 4-5-5%, a cut in key interest rates has been rejected, the report said.
