IMF Grades India’s GDP Data ‘C’

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) gave India’s GDP and other economic data a ‘C’ grade, which is the second-lowest rating.

This grade means the data has some problems that make it less useful for understanding the economy.

The main issues are that India uses an old base year (2011-12) for calculations and relies on less accurate price data.

The IMF also noted that there are differences in how the data is collected and that some important details are missing.

However, India is working on updating its methods, and new data is expected in 2026.

The ‘C’ grade is the same as last year, but the IMF acknowledged that improvements are being made.
