Bank FD Returns : Small banks or big banks? Who pays more interest on FD? Know which option is best?
According to the World Bank's October 'South Asia Economic Update' report, the bank has raised its forecast by 50 basis points. According to World Bank estimates, India's economy will grow at a rate of 7.2% in fiscal 2028 compared to 7.8% in 2026, higher than earlier estimates. This pace of growth in India's economy is driven by strong domestic demand and sustained growth in the industrial and service sectors. But weakness in the agricultural sector remains a threat for the foreseeable future.
Why risk agriculture?
India is an agricultural country. India's economy depends on agriculture. But looking at the state of agriculture, the question arises whether this situation will not get out of hand.
The main reason for this is monsoon. After the month of July, there was no rain in India. Therefore, it has a direct impact on agriculture. El Nino is likely to have a major impact on agriculture due to climate change. If this situation continues for a long time, it will affect the rural areas and this will reduce the spending capacity.
Risk of oil becoming expensive
Crude oil prices are high due to global tensions. As India imports more than 80% of its crude oil requirements, rising oil prices are likely to increase import costs. If imports become more expensive, the prices of petrol and diesel in the country will increase, making transportation more expensive. This will increase the prices of daily consumption items, fruits, vegetables and other commodities.
Effective use of AI
The World Bank believes that artificial intelligence AI can be useful in boosting productivity and employment in South Asia. For India, this can be an important tool for increasing productivity. In a previous survey, the World Bank found that 3.4% of companies in India use some form of AI, compared to 42.7% in the US.
When it comes to the use of advanced levels of AI, this gap widens even further. On the World Bank's AI Dependency Index, India scores 0.27, while the US scores 0.85. In fact, the cost of AI adoption in India is high. Only 3.5% of companies in India have paid for AI software or subscriptions, compared to 23.1% in the US.
