Steady Growth Expected in F2020<br />
We lower our F2020 growth forecast to 7.6% from 7.7% as we take into account tighter<br />
financial conditions at the margin and slight moderation in global growth. However, we<br />
look for growth to remain steady compared to our F2019 estimate of 7.6% (unchanged).<br />
We build in a steady growth path as policy measures remain supportive of improving the<br />
productivity dynamic without stoking macro stability risks and external funding<br />
pressures are expected to recede in 2019. For F2021, we estimate GDP growth at 7.5%.<br />
