(德国之声中文网)印度政府本周一(8月31日)公布了第二季度经济增长率为7.8%,不仅高于去年同期水平,也超出分析师的预期。

不过,该国前财政部长和前央行行长等知名经济学家,均对这一数据表示质疑。莫迪领导的政府不得不站出来驳斥以上指责,同时为使用的统计新方法进行了辩护。

批评的焦点指向计算基础和通胀因素。前财政部长钱德拉·加格(Subhash Chandra Garg)指责政府通过下调去年的经济增长率,以此人为地夸大了今年的经济增长。

前央行行长拉詹(Raghuram Rajan)则问道,为何如此强劲的增长,却未能转化为更多的就业或投资。

一些经济学家还质疑今年设定的“平减指数”(Deflator),即从名义增长中剔除通胀因素。他们认为,与价格指标相比,该指数设定得过低。

印度统计部解释说,统计方法已于今年2月进行了更改。因此,2025年同期国内生产总值名义值从86.05万亿卢比下调至80万亿卢比(约合7290亿欧元)。按照以往的计算方法,今年第二季度名义增长率(即未经通胀调整的增长率)仅为2.6%,而非政府公布的10.3%。

反对党国大党称,政府公布的增长数据是“在统计上耍花招”。

印度当前的经济数据喜忧参半。8月份,汽车销量增长了21%,银行贷款额也达到了十年来的最高水平。相比之下,采购经理人指数(PMI)则跌至多年来的最低点。

The central bank's selective credit controls impact the pre-sale market, and the agency sales industry is in a wave of elimination

After the central bank implemented the sixth and seventh waves of selective credit controls, buying sentiment in the domestic pre-sale housing market froze, resulting in sluggish transactions and serious losses in the agency sales industry. Many agency sales companies shut down their lights to stop bleeding or went bankrupt. Statistics from the Ministry of the Interior show that in the first quarter of this year, the number of agency sales nationwide decreased by 20 compared with the same period last year, an annual decrease of approximately 2.12%. Tainan City had the highest annual decrease of 6.76%, followed by Taoyuan City at 6.62%. The number of sales agents in Taichung City remains the same, but the pre-sale market transaction volume has dropped by more than 80% compared with the peak in 2024. The industry warns that if the housing market control continues, the agency sales industry will face a more severe elimination and survival crisis.
