At 9.9% GDP growth, India could be fastest-growing Asian economy in 2021

India could well be the fastest-growing Asian economy in calendar year 2021 (CY21) if Nomura’s forecasts are to be believed. The foreign research and brokerage house expects the Indian economy – as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) – to grow at 9.9 per cent in 2021, eclipsing China (2021 GDP growth pegged at 9 per cent) and Singapore (at 7.5 per cent) during this period. Nomura has turned positive on India's cyclical outlook for 2021, and believes the country is on the cusp of a cyclical recovery.
