The Reserve Bank has been conducting the Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF) since September 2007. The responses for 74th round of the survey were received during January 12-27, 2022, wherein thirty-three panellists participated. The survey results are summarised in terms of their median forecasts (Annexes 1-7), along with quarterly paths for key variables. Highlights: 1. Output
-
Real gross domestic product (GDP) growth projection for the current year has been revised down by 30 basis points (bps) from the last survey round to 9.2 per cent; it is expected to grow by 7.7 per cent in 2022-23 (Table 1).
-
SPF panellists have placed GDP growth forecasts in the wide range of 8.2-10.0 per cent for 2021-22 and 6.3-9.0 per cent for 2022-23 (Annexes 1 and 2).
-
Forecasters have assigned highest probability to real GDP growth lying between 9.0-9.4 per cent in 2021-22 (Chart 1). For 2022-23, highest probability has been assigned to the range 7.5-7.9 per cent (Chart 2).
Note: Tails of the distributions are not presented in Charts 1 and 2. Detailed probability distributions are given in Annex 6.
-
Projections of annual growth in real private final consumption expenditure (PFCE) during the next two years have been placed at 8.4 per cent and 8.3 per cent, respectively.
-
Real gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) growth projections have been revised up by 100 bps to 15.0 per cent for 2021-22 and by 20 bps to 8.9 per cent for 2022-23.
- Real gross value added (GVA) growth projection for 2021-22 has been revised down marginally to 8.7 per cent in the latest SPF round; projection for the next year has been revised up to 7.3 per cent.

- Forecasters have assigned the highest probability to CPI inflation lying in the range of 5.5-5.9 per cent in Q4:2021-22; 5.0-5.4 per cent in both Q1:2022-23 and Q2:2022-23; and 4.5-4.9 per cent in Q3:2022-23 (Chart 3).
Note: Tails of the distributions are not presented in the Chart. Detailed probability distributions are given in Annex 7. 3. External Sector
-
Merchandise exports and imports are projected to grow by 38.3 per cent and 51.5 per cent, respectively, during 2021-22; their growth during 2022-23 are expected at 8.5 per cent and 9.0 per cent, respectively, over this high base (Table 4).
-
Current account deficit is expected at 1.6 per cent (of GDP at current market prices) in 2021-22 and at 1.9 per cent in 2022-23.
-
The Indian rupee is likely to remain stable within the narrow range of ₹75.00–₹75.50 per US dollar till Q3:2022-23 (Annex 3).
