The global economy in FY 2015-16 witnessed divergent trends among major economies. The Indian economy and business environment remained largely subdued during 2015-16. The global economic recovery is gaining momentum coupled with some divergence. India''s economy is poised to return to its high-growth path, thanks to lower fiscal and current account deficits, falling inflation, low crude oil price, moderate commodity prices, and structural reforms to boost investments. Monetary policy is also likely to be supportive with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) having moved to flexible inflation targeting.
