"The IMF's July 2016 outlook had revised global growth down to 3.1 per cent in 2016, mainly on account of Brexit concerns. The outlook has worsened for advanced economies to 1.8 per cent in 2016 while it remains at 4.1 per cent for emerging market and developing economies. In an environment of anaemic growth, the global economy faces pronounced risks, including a slowdown in major emerging markets, sharp changes in financial market sentiment, stagnation in advanced economies and struggle in revival of commodity prices," he said.
He said: "The Indian economy is expected to grow by 7.4 per cent in 2016-17. The drop in oil price could ease the pressure on India's current account deficit and fiscal deficit."
