External storms are morphing into hurricanes. India is in a relatively better position than many other countries, but this period of heightened volatility will require agility and clarity on policy

Despite recovering from the pandemic, repeated global shocks have presented numerous challenges for India’s economy this year, driving inflation and evoking balance of payments (BoP) pressures. These shocks will likely persist for much longer. 

In the US, even amidst signs of weakening growth, underlying inflation remains too high for the Fed to pivot; we expect the fed funds rate to rise to 5.25-5.50 per cent by early next year, which means further market repricing is likely. The synchronised global tightening, inventory destocking and the cost of living crisis mean that the world is in the midst of a synchronised global growth downturn, akin to the early 1980s. We expect recessions across major developed economies, with gross domestic product (GDP) growth likely to contract in 2023 across the US (-1.1 per cent, year-on-year), euro area (-1.6 per cent) and the UK (-1.4 per cent).

Geopolitical risks also remain, with signs of escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war and US-China tech tensions. The outlook for commodity prices, especially food and energy, remains uncertain, considering the tug-of-war between weak demand and potential supply shocks. A higher commodity price floor, even amidst a recession, cannot be ruled out. Following decades of debt build-up during a period of low interest rates, financial stability risks could materialise anywhere and at any time.
