The Reserve Bank of India today released on its website the results of quarterly Survey of Professional Forecasters on major macroeconomic indicators of short to medium term economic developments. The survey round relates to the first quarter of 2011-12, that is, April-June 2011. Done through a questionnaire responded by 30 forecasters who participated in this round, the survey covered component-wise detailed forecasts of GDP growth, inflation, savings, capital formation, consumption expenditure, export, import, interest rates, money supply, credit growth, stock market movements, corporate profit, etc. The Reserve Bank has been conducting this survey on a quarterly basis from the second quarter ended September 2007. It disseminates the survey results through its website on a regular basis. Salient Features 1. Annual Forecasts: Real GDP for 2011-12:
- For 2011-12, forecasters have revised their real GDP growth rate projections downwards to 7.9 per cent1 from 8.2 per cent in last survey.

For agriculture, there is an upward revision and for Industry and services, there is a downward revision from the previous round.
