Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is 2.6 percent.
According to the source, the World Bank's flagship Global Economic Prospects report presents the global economy as more resilient than previously expected.
The source gives the theme as 'Resilience Amidst Uncertainty'.
Global GDP growth for 2026 is projected at 2.6 percent, which represents an upward revision of 0.2 percentage points compared with the forecast made in June 2025.
Growth is then expected to increase slightly to 2.7 percent in 2027.
Despite this resilience, the source highlights a significant longer-term concern: the 2020s are projected to become the weakest decade for global economic growth since the 1960s.
This creates an important contrast between short-term resilience and weak longer-term historical performance.
Global inflation is expected to moderate to 2.6 percent in 2026.
The report entry also contains important India-specific projections.
India is described as continuing to be the fastest-growing major economy, with GDP growth forecast at 7.2 percent in FY2025-26.
The source attributes this performance to strong domestic demand, tax reforms and improved rural incomes.
India's growth is projected to moderate to 6.5 percent in FY2026-27 due to the impact of US import tariffs.
It is then projected at 6.6 percent in FY2027-28, supported by export recovery and higher private investment.
For examinations, distinguish global growth from India's growth: global GDP → 2.6% in 2026 and 2.7% in 2027; India → 7.2% FY2025-26, 6.5% FY2026-27 and 6.6% FY2027-28.
Global inflation → 2.6% in 2026.
The upward revision in global growth → 0.2 percentage points.
Therefore option C is correct.

सही उत्तर 2.6% है। Source के अनुसार World Bank की flagship Global Economic Prospects report global economy को earlier expectations की तुलना में more resilient बताती है। Source report की theme 'Resilience Amidst Uncertainty' देता है। 2026 के लिए global GDP growth 2.6% project की गई है। यह June 2025 forecast की तुलना में 0.2 percentage points upward revision है। 2027 में global growth थोड़ा बढ़कर 2.7% होने की expectation है। Short-term resilience के बावजूद source एक important long-term concern highlight करता है: 2020s को 1960s के बाद global economic growth का weakest decade होने का projection दिया गया है। यानी immediate forecast relatively resilient है, लेकिन decade-level historical comparison कमजोर growth environment दिखाता है। Global inflation 2026 में moderate होकर 2.6% होने की expectation है। इसी report entry में India-specific forecasts भी बहुत important हैं। India को fastest-growing major economy बताया गया है और FY2025-26 के लिए GDP growth 7.2% forecast की गई है। Source strong domestic demand, tax reforms और improved rural incomes को drivers बताता है। FY2026-27 में US import tariffs के impact के कारण growth 6.5% project की गई है। FY2027-28 में export recovery और higher private investment के support से growth 6.6% होने का projection है। Exam में global और India figures confuse नहीं करें: global → 2.6% in 2026, 2.7% in 2027; India → 7.2%, 6.5%, 6.6% respective fiscal years; global inflation → 2.6%; upward revision → 0.2 percentage points। इसलिए option C सही है।
