The Reserve Bank has been conducting the Survey of Professional Forecasters since September 2007. The results of the survey represent the views of the respondent forecasters and in no way reflect the views or forecasts of the Reserve Bank of India. Thirty one professional forecasters participated in the latest survey round (Round 35) conducted in July 2015. The results of the survey in tabular form are presented in the Annex. Highlights 1. Annual Forecasts^ -
Forecasters expect real Gross Value Added at basic price (GVA) to increase by 7.6 per cent in 2015-16. ‘Agriculture & Allied Activities’ and ‘Services’ are expected to grow by 2.0 per cent and 9.7 per cent, respectively. ‘Industry’ growth forecast has been placed at 6.5 per cent (Table 1). -
In 2016-17, GVA is expected to increase by 8.2 per cent, led by growth in ‘Services’ by 9.8 per cent. -
In terms of subjective probabilities assigned to growth projections, forecasters ascribed maximum 50 per cent chance that GVA growth in 2015-16 will be in the range of 7.5-7.9 per cent (Chart 1). For the year 2016-17, GVA growth in 8.0-8.4 per cent range is the most probable outcome. | Table 1: Median Forecast of Real GVA (Growth Rate) for 2015-16 and 2016-17 | | | 2015-16 | 2016-17 | | Real GVA | 7.6
