Moody's Lowers India FY27 Growth Forecast to 6% on Iran War Impact

Moody's Ratings lowered India's FY27 growth forecast to 6% from 6.8%, citing weaker private consumption and softer industrial activity due to higher energy and input prices from the Iran war. Elevated energy costs are expected to widen the trade deficit and increase fiscal pressures from higher fuel and fertiliser subsidies. However, government infrastructure spending and strong forex reserves offer some cushion. GDP growth is projected at 7.6% for FY26.

Moody's: Stablecoin Impact on Banks Limited Now, but Competition Will Grow

Moody's analysts say stablecoins currently have limited impact on the banking sector, with market cap exceeding $300 billion at end of last year. While US rules prohibiting yield on stablecoins prevent them from replacing traditional deposits domestically in the near term, growing adoption of stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets could pressure banks through deposit outflows and reduced lending capacity. The stalled CLARITY Act in Congress reflects ongoing tensions between crypto industry and banking lobby over yield-bearing stablecoins.
