What is in the news?

       Recently, State Bank of India has released its flagship ECOWRAP report.

 

Key takeaways from the news:

       Domestic GDP growth is now on a firm footing with urban demand showing good traction, while lagging rural demand is a cause for concern.

       It has also revised GDP growth marginally upwards from 6.4% to 6.5% for the current financial year.

       The inflation for the current financial year had been pegged at 5.1% by the SBI bank, perceived to be above the tolerance band of RBI at 4%.

       The inflation trajectory was now conditional on the spatial variation of the monsoon and possible development of the El Nino effect.
