Strong festive sales boosted growth numbers in the final quarter of 2020 as India exited recession after two quarters of growth contraction. GDP for the October-Decembe

Strong festive sales boosted growth numbers in the final quarter of 2020 as India exited recession after two quarters of growth contraction. GDP for the October-December period is now pegged at 0.4% , the first expansion after the pandemic hit.&nbsp;India is now one of the few economies that saw growth expand in the quarter gone by.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Though technically the recession may be over but it is not all good news the govt has&nbsp;revised&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;full year GDP to reflect a contraction of 8% vs &ndash;7.7% earlier. Some of the&nbsp;internal indicators&nbsp;are also not very encouraging&nbsp;for example spending from the govt&nbsp;as well private spending have shown a contraction on a&nbsp;year on year&nbsp;basis.&nbsp;&nbsp;
It is&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;too&nbsp;early to celebrate the recovery as International ratings agency Moody&rsquo;s warns that the risk to growth forecast for India is tilted to the downside. Even JPMorgan&nbsp;has raised an alarm that&nbsp;&nbsp;a&nbsp;consumer credit crisis could derail India&rsquo;s economic recovery . For the weekend however economy watchers can enjoy the headline that India has exited recession.&nbsp;

It was a sea of red for the markets led by global cues and surging bond yields. Sensex and Nifty ended 4% Friday as the weakness wiped out the week

The Indian bond markets are also signaling the same adding to the nervousness.&nbsp;&nbsp;
