GDP report points to economic recovery, recession unlikely: Biden's adviser

The third quarter GDP report on the US economy points to an economic recovery and quells fears of an impending recession, President Joe Biden's key economic adviser has said. The US economy grew at a better-than-expected 2.6 per cent annual rate from July through September, snapping two straight quarters of economic contraction and overcoming high inflation and interest rates. Thursday's estimate released by the Commerce Department revealed that the country's GDP grew in the third quarter after having shrunk in the first half of 2022. I think, we have some real momentum here, Jared Bernstein, member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, told PTI on Thursday. Referring to the latest report on the US economy, Bernstein said: That's a solid growth rate and it means that the economy expanded in the third quarter of this year. For months, doomsayers have been arguing that the US economy is in recession and Congressional Republicans have been rooting for a downturn. But Bern

India needs dedicated wing to release Green GDP estimates, says RBI article

India needs to set up a dedicated wing in the environment ministry to release estimates of Green GDP periodically on a regular basis and create a user-friendly data dissemination platform, said an RBI article. Green GDP takes into account estimates for environmental degradation, depletion of natural resources, and savings of resources and environment into the national income accounts. "Given the paucity of relevant data, estimation of Green GDP for India in this paper relies on an available global database and provides the starting point for future research in this area of environmental and economic accounting," the article said. The trajectory of Green GDP for India displays an upward movement with visible improvements particularly, since 2012, it added. The central bank said that the views expressed in the article are those of the authors and do not represent the views of the Reserve Bank of India. "Furthermore, resource depletion, CO2 emission and material footprint, especially

India's debt ratio projected to be 84% of its GDP by end of 2022: IMF

India's debt ratio is projected to be 84 per cent of its GDP by the end of 2022, which is higher than many emerging economies, but its debt is a little bit easier to sustain, a senior IMF official has said. Stressing that it is important for India to now have a very clear medium-term objective on the fiscal, Paolo Mauro, Deputy Director, Fiscal Affairs Department, International Monetary Fund, said there's still not a whole lot of clarity on the fiscal anchor. "It would be very important to give reassurance to people and to investors that things are under control, and things are going to become less vulnerable over time," Mauro, told PTI in an interview. "In terms of the debt ratio, India right now at the end of 2022, we're projecting it at about 84 per cent of GDP. That is higher than in many emerging economies, he said. Of course, India has a lot of special features being the most populous country in the world by now and being a very large, emerging economy, he said. The other ..

RBI expects current account deficit to come under 3% of GDP in FY23

The Reserve Bank expects the current account deficit to be under 3 per cent of GDP in FY23, Deputy Governor Michael Patra said on Friday. The CAD will "modestly widen" in the first half of the fiscal year and narrow in the second half, Patra told reporters in the customary post-policy press conference. "Overall, we expect the current account deficit to be under 3 per cent of GDP (in FY23)," Patra said. The comments come a day after official data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) showed that the CAD widened in the first quarter of the fiscal to 2.8 per cent of GDP. In FY22, the CAD had stood at 1.2 per cent of the GDP. Patra said there are factors beyond the widening trade deficit as the exports are getting hit due to adverse economic developments in the advanced economies, and pointed out certain factors helping the CAD lately. He said the oil prices have moved south, which will lower the import bill, and there has been a 23 per cent growth in petroleum exports, courtes
