China has set such targets for decades. Last year, Beijing targeted growth in the range of 6% to 6.5%. GDP grew 6.1%, its slowest pace in nearly 30 years. Meanwhile, Shaktikanta Das, the governor of the Reserve Bank of India, said Friday that the country's economy wouldn't grow at all in the current fiscal year, which ends in March 2021. The last time India's economy shrank over the course of a year was in 1979.
