Economic growth to rebound to 6 to 6.5% in next fiscal: Survay
PTI, Jan 31, 2020, 2:51 PM IST
New Delhi: The Economic Survey on Friday projected India’s economic growth at 6 percent to 6.5 percent in the next financial year starting April 1, saying growth has bottomed out.
The growth in 2020-21 compares to a projected 5 percent expansion in 2019-20.
Weak global growth impacting India as well as investment slowdown due to financial sector issues had led to growth dropping to a decade low in current fiscal, it said, adding 5 percent growth projected for 2019-20 is the lowest it could fall for now.
Growth slipped to 4.5 percent in the July-September quarter. The Survey this year has been printed in lavender color, the same as the colour of the new 100 rupee currency note, the oldest currency note in circulation in the country.
The pre-Budget Survey said for wealth to be distributed, it first has to be created and called for looking at wealth creators with respect.
The Survey said government interventions seem to be ineffective in stabilizing prices of commodities such as onions.
For boosting growth, it called for new ideas for manufacturing such as ‘assemble in India for the world’ which will create jobs.
To further make it easier to do business, the Survey called for removing the red tape at ports to promote exports as well as measures for easing the start of business, register property, pay taxes and enforcing contracts.
It also called for improving governance in public sector banks and the need for more disclosure of information to build trust. It also talks about dwarfism in the banking sector.
Economic Survey advocates 10 new ideas that benefit markets as well as the economy.
