New Delhi, May 17

The United Nations has revised upwards India’s growth projections for 2024, a month after the World Bank did so. However, the UN’s revised GDP projection is a more modest 6.9 per cent for 23-24 as compared to 7.5 per cent by the World Bank last month.

In January, the UN had anticipated the Indian GDP growth for 2023-24 at 6.2 per cent due to strong growth in the manufacturing and services sectors.

However, the revised growth projections attribute the expansion to a lower-than-anticipated inflation rate of 4.5 per cent in 2023-24 as against 5.6 per cent in 2022-23. The UN also saw lower inflation rate as well as slight moderation in food prices for South Asia.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
