You’re not alone if rising grocery bills, fuel prices, and job uncertainty make you question that headline number. Economic growth looks great on paper, but households feel it differently. Farmers see input costs rise while crop prices stay flat. Young grads struggle to find jobs that match their degrees. Small shopkeepers feel squeezed between high rents and thin margins. GDP numbers don’t buy your daughter’s school books or pay your auto-rickshaw fare. Real prosperity means your salary outpaces inflation, your vegetables don’t cost a fortune, and your child has a clear path to work after college. The gap between macro growth and micro reality is real. And if policymakers don’t bridge it; by cooling inflation, supporting small businesses, and creating quality jobs; this growth story might end up being all noise and no coconut. Because a booming economy shouldn’t just be a headline. It should be visible in your wallet.
