New Delhi : Global rating agency Moody’s cautioned that low growth and high inflation could weaken the country’s debt profile and raise financing cost. 

If current lower growth and high inflation persist over the medium term, the domestic financial system’s capacity to absorb government debt could fall quite considerably,” Moody’s said in a report.
This could change the structure of government debt, raise debt financing costs and weaken government debt ratios.
