<h1>IMF Forecasts India as Fastest-Growing Major Economy with 6.5% GDP Growth in 2025-26, Urges Structural Reforms</h1> The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects India to maintain its status as the fastest-growing major economy with a 6.5% GDP growth in 2025-26, driven by strong private investment and macroeconomic stability. This growth offers India a chance to pursue structural reforms to achieve advanced economy status by 2047. The IMF emphasizes the importance of labor market reforms, human capital development, and increased female workforce participation. It also highlights the need for stable policies to boost private investment and foreign direct investment (FDI). Despite recent moderation, India's economic growth remains robust, with inflation stabilizing and the financial sector resilient.
