According to a survey conducted by Ipsos on predictions for global issues in 2020, 83 percent of Indian respondents were optimistic that the global economy would strengthen that year compared to 2019. The hope about Narendra Modi-led government coming to power once again in the May 2019 general elections in India might be the reason for an optimistic viewpoint by Indian respondents compared to other countries.
