Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5D. 1, 2, 3, 4 और 5
Explanationव्याख्या
All five statements are correct according to the source.
The World Bank's Global Economic Prospects report projects global GDP growth at 2.6 percent in 2026.
This forecast was revised upward by 0.2 percentage points compared with June 2025.
Global growth is expected to edge up further to 2.7 percent in 2027.
The report's source entry describes this situation under the theme 'Resilience Amidst Uncertainty', reflecting the fact that the world economy has performed somewhat better than previously anticipated despite continuing uncertainty.
However, this resilience should not be interpreted as exceptionally strong global growth.
The source states that the 2020s are projected to be the weakest decade for global economic growth since the 1960s.
Global inflation is expected to moderate to 2.6 percent in 2026.
India stands out in the report as the fastest-growing major economy.
GDP growth is forecast at 7.2 percent for FY2025-26, supported by strong domestic demand, tax reforms and improved rural incomes.
The following fiscal year, FY2026-27, is projected at 6.5 percent.
The source associates this moderation with the impact of US import tariffs.
Growth is then expected to improve slightly to 6.6 percent in FY2027-28, supported by recovery in exports and higher private investment.
This question is particularly useful because examinations may interchange calendar-year global projections with fiscal-year India projections.
Students should therefore memorise the sequence separately: Global → 2026: 2.6%, 2027: 2.7%; India → FY25-26: 7.2%, FY26-27: 6.5%, FY27-28: 6.6%.
Since every statement correctly reproduces the source, option D is correct.
सभी पाँच statements सही हैं। World Bank की Global Economic Prospects report 2026 के लिए global GDP growth 2.6% project करती है। यह June 2025 forecast से 0.2 percentage points upward revision है। 2027 में global growth slightly बढ़कर 2.7% होने की expectation है। Source इस situation को 'Resilience Amidst Uncertainty' theme के अंतर्गत describe करता है, क्योंकि continuing global uncertainty के बावजूद economy earlier expectation से कुछ अधिक resilient रही। लेकिन resilience को very high growth नहीं समझना चाहिए। Source के अनुसार 2020s, 1960s के बाद global economic growth का weakest decade होने की projection रखते हैं। Global inflation 2026 में 2.6% तक moderate होने की expectation है। India report में fastest-growing major economy के रूप में highlighted है। FY2025-26 के लिए GDP growth 7.2% forecast है और इसके drivers strong domestic demand, tax reforms तथा improved rural incomes बताए गए हैं। FY2026-27 में growth 6.5% project की गई है, जिसे source US import tariffs के impact से connect करता है। FY2027-28 में export recovery और higher private investment के support से growth 6.6% होने की projection है। Exams में global calendar-year forecasts और India fiscal-year forecasts को interchange करके पूछा जा सकता है। इसलिए अलग sequence याद रखें: Global → 2026 = 2.6%, 2027 = 2.7%; India → FY25-26 = 7.2%, FY26-27 = 6.5%, FY27-28 = 6.6%। इसलिए सभी statements सही हैं और option D सही answer है।
