  • The United Nations has projected that India’s economic growth will slow to 6.6% in 2026 from 7.4% in 2025, primarily due to the imposition of 50% tariffs by the United States on Indian exports. For 2027, India’s GDP growth is expected to recover slightly to 6.7%.
  • Average consumer price inflation is estimated to rise from 8.3% in 2025 to 8.7% in 2026, with rates ranging from 3.2% in Nepal and 4.1% in India to as high as 35.4% in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
