<h1>Central bank says financial inclusion scheme with 550 million accounts driving growth toward becoming world's third-largest economy</h1> The central bank governor stated that India will soon be the world's third-largest economy, attributing growth to a decade-old national financial inclusion scheme launched with banks that has opened 550 million accounts and expanded access to savings, pensions, insurance, credit and other services. Remarks came after a 7.8% GDP increase in the April-June quarter and amid recently imposed heavy tariffs by the United States. The statement underscores the regulatory emphasis on financial inclusion as a growth strategy and signals continued central bank and government support for banking-led outreach and related regulatory frameworks.
