India’s economic growth has been projected at 5.8 per cent in 2023 as per the United Nation's World Economic Situation and Prospects 2023 (WESP) report, which is much higher than China’s (4.8 per cent) and the United States (0.4 per cent).

However, India’s growth will decline in 2023 from the estimated 6.4 per cent in 2022 as higher interest rates and a global economic slowdown will weigh on investment and export performance.
