  • FY 2016-17, GDP Growth Is Projected at 7.5%
    CMYK CMYK ADITYA BIRLA FASHION AND RETAIL LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 -2016 Thomson Press CMYK Mr. Aditya Vikram Birla We live by his values. Integrity, Commitment, Passion, Seamlessness and Speed. CMYK LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS: THE CHAIRMAN, ADITYA BIRLA GROUP Global Economy The global scenario continues to be trapped in a low growth trajectory, despite the steep drop in crude oil and commodity prices. Furthermore, a barrage of monetary stimulus has driven down interest rates close to zero in many of the advanced economies. With the monetary stimulus option by and large exhausted, governments are more likely to turn to fiscal and structural measures to revive growth. The IMF projects global growth to inch up from 3.1% in 2015, to 3.2% in 2016 and increasing to 3.5% in 2017. Growth in the advanced economies is projected at 1.9% in 2016, with US growth pegged at 2.4%, Europe at 1.5% and Japan at 0.5%. Growth in the emerging markets in 2016, overall, is projected at 4.1%, much of it coming from China, India and the ASEAN region. Growth in Latin America is expected to be only 0.5%, on account of a 3.8% decline in growth in Brazil. No sustained upside is seen in oil and commodity prices in 2016. The path ahead for the global economy remains challenging, with greater uncertainties thrown in. Concerns persist about the slowdown in China and its ability to shift smoothly from export-led to domestic-led growth. Fiscal pressures will accentuate in the oil producing countries, including the rich Middle- East countries.

The present study is spread over ei^t chapters.
