FM calls for creating sustained growth opportunities; more infrastructure investments

26 Dec 2011 Evaluate

Pranab Mukherjee, the Union Finance Minister, opined that there is a pressing need to make India’s development process more inclusive so as to create sustained opportunities for growth in the nation with a population of 1.2 billion people. Mukherjee is of the belief that there is an urgent need to improve the reach and quality of our social and physical infrastructure and India needs to invest an additional 3-4 percent of GDP on infrastructure to sustain current levels of growth and to equalize its benefits.

Improved infrastructure may lead to reduction in regional imbalances and improve the opportunities for the less privileged, while strengthening the role of government as an enabler. Development of quality infrastructure and ensuring its broad-based, regional and rural-urban balance is central to sustaining high growth.

The finance minister is also of the belief that initiatives like viability gap funding need to be adopted widely in all the infrastructure sectors which will boost private sector investment and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). He also affirmed that areas like power and energy, ports and regional airports, water resources, rural connectivity and urban infrastructure are in need of a quantum leap.

In its bid to ensure adequate flow of funds to infrastructure, the government has laid down guidelines for setting-up Infrastructure Debt Fund to attract new sources of long term providers of debt. The finance minister said that RBI, in consultation with the government, has also rationalized and liberalized the external commercial borrowings (ECB) policy during the current financial year.

Underscoring the fact that the ‘National Manufacturing Policy’ aimed at enhancing the share of the manufacturing sector in India’s GDP to 25 percent over the next ten years has been approved, Mukherjee said that it would require the sector to grow at 12 to 14 percent per annum creating millions of job opportunities, in the process. However, the finance minister said that India’s economic growth projections have been revised downwards in the range of 7.25-7.75 percent in the fiscal year 2011-12.
