Pencilling in just 4 per cent GDP growth for the fourth quarter, a rating agency report has said the final growth numbers for the full year will be lower than the second advance estimate of 7 per cent. The economy grew at 13.2 per cent in the first quarter and 6.3 per cent in the second three-month period due to base effect and much lower than the consensus expectation of 4.4 per cent in the third quarter.

In its report on emerging market outlook, Moody's Analytics said growth slowed substantially on a year-ago basis, with private consumption lagging overall GDP for the first time since the Delta wave of Covid-19 struck the economy in the second quarter of 2021. "Our take is that the slowdown late last year will be temporary and even salutary, helping to wring some of the demand-side pressures ou
