A few Asian economies are at greater risk of entering a recession if central banks quicken the pace of interest rate increases in response to higher prices. According to the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), a global recession will start in 2023. Other agencies predict a global recession as well to begin in 2023. New borrowing costs put in place to fight inflation cause several economies to shrink.
According to the British consultancy’s annual World Economic League Table, the global economy topped $100 trillion for the first time in 2022. Still, it will halt in 2023 as governments continue to struggle against growing costs. There has been a lot of worry about the recession in recent months.
The world’s banks are crumbling down. Due to Credit Suisse’s problems, there is currently a banking crisis in the US and Europe, and there are growing concerns about a possible worldwide recession.
The global economy has faced various shocks that have had multiple effects over the years. Despite the greatest obstacles, Asian economies like China and India maintained some stability.
Concerning health management, the COVID-19 pandemic proved fatal for Europe and America. With such a vast population, India has successfully offered its citizen’s relief and welfare programmes. Indian health management once took a hit but recovered and was able to help the people in need on a local level.
In the midst of all this economic target-setting and goal-setting, Bloomberg recently created the Recession Metre. India has received excellent news from the graphic-based report ‘Recession Probability Worldwide 2023’.
According to the metre, India won’t experience a recession. India will remain strong with a 0 per cent recession.
Western countries like the UK will have a recession probability of 75 per cent, New Zealand 70 per cent, the USA 65 per cent, Canada 60 per cent, and Australia 40 per cent. Similarly, other developing nations will also be hit by the recession, like South Africa 45 per cent, Brazil 15 per cent and Mexico 27 per cent. However, India is the only county at 0 per cent, followed by Indonesia at 2 per cent, Saudi Arabia at 5 per cent, China at 12 per cent, Brazil at 15 per cent and Switzerland at 25 per cent.
In addition to the Bloomberg report, the Indian economy has received favourable reports from a number of other agencies and international organisations. According to the most recent global economic growth projections, India’s growth would increase. India is predicting a 5.9% growth for 2023. The IMF predicts that the GDP will be 6.3 per cent in 2024.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has significantly increased the pressure on global inflation.
Despite all of this, India has managed to contain and maintain a moderate increase in inflation.
India has successfully controlled its inflation, although it has not yet reached the desired 4 per cent level.
Nevertheless, the inflation data is improving. Despite the huge tech layoffs by big international tech companies in recent months, the labour market has stayed afloat.
Nikhil Kamat, an entrepreneur & the owner of the Indian Financial Service Company Zerodha, revealed this in a social media post. He has stated that young people with degrees from prominent universities in America and Europe should look to India because real opportunities are here. There is zero risk for graduates. To further his point, he has stated that India is an excellent place for the next decade, at least for individuals looking to begin new careers. Additionally, there are sufficient business opportunities.
Numerous factors have made this ecosystem and entrepreneurial environment possible in India. Youth have gained confidence thanks to government initiatives, accessible financing, and skill-building programmes.
