The Reserve Bank has been conducting the survey of professional forecasters (SPF) since September 2007. The responses for 77th round of the survey were received during July 13 – July 29, 2022, wherein forty-two 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) is expected to grow by 7.1 per cent in 2022-23 [projections revised down by 10 basis points (bps) from the last survey round]; it is expected to grow by 6.3 per cent in 2023-24 (Table 1).
-
SPF panellists have placed GDP growth forecasts in the range of 6.3 – 8.3 per cent for 2022-23 and in the range 5.0-7.8 per cent for 2023-24; the range for 2022-23 have considerably narrowed from the last SPF round, indicating more certainty around the median forecast (Annexes 1 and 2).
-
Forecasters have assigned highest probability to real GDP growth in the range 7.0-7.4 per cent in 2022-23 (Chart 1). For 2023-24, highest probability has been assigned to the range 6.5-6.9 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.

- Forecasters have assigned the highest probability to CPI inflation lying in the range of 7.0-7.4 per cent in Q2:2022-23; in the range of 6.0-6.4 per cent in Q3:2022-23; in the wider range of 5.5-6.4 per cent in Q4:2022-23 and in the range of 5.0-5.4 per cent in Q1:2023-24 (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 11.7 per cent and 19.0 per cent, respectively, during 2022-23 and further by 7.0 per cent and 6.0 per cent, respectively, during 2023-24 (Table 4).
-
SPF panellists expect current account deficit at 3.0 per cent (of GDP at current market prices) in 2022-23 and at 2.4 per cent in 2023-24.
-
The Indian rupee is likely to remain in the range of ₹79.0–₹80.0 per US dollar till Q1:2023-24 (Annex 3).
