Under PM Modi's leadership, India is expected to have the strongest growth among major economies, with a forecast of 7.0% in 2024 and 6.5% in 2025. India, along with Brazil, is highlighted as a key emerging market showing strong growth according to the IMF. In contrast, China’s growth is slowing, projected at 4.8% for 2024 and 4.5% for 2025. Global growth is expected to stay at 3.2% for both years, lower than before the pandemic. The US economy, driven by strong consumer spending, may boost Indian exports. However, conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine could lead to higher oil prices, impacting India’s economy. Additionally, tight monetary policies in major economies like the US and Europe could also challenge India's economic outlook.

In the wake of the India-Canada diplomatic crisis, Canadian National Security Expert Joe Adam George highlighted a troubling rise in fake asylum claims. In the first eight months of 2024 alone, Canada recorded 13,000 international students seeking asylum, with a significant number reportedly from Punjab, India. Many claim persecution for supporting the Khalistan movement, a narrative George suggests may not reflect the truth. He argues that this influx indicates an abuse of Canada's asylum and immigration system, prompting the Canadian government to recognize and respond to the issue, albeit belatedly. The situation underscores the complexities and challenges within Canada’s immigration policies, particularly amid geopolitical tensions. As the government moves to address these concerns, the integrity of its asylum process hangs in the balance.
