Finance Minister Arun Jailtley has stated that the government will soon take measures to break the vicious cycle of high inflation and high interest rates impacting Indian economic growth, which stayed below 5 percent for the second year in a row at 4.7 percent during FY14.
Jailtey further said that long inflationary trends have adversely impacted the food and nutritional security of the common man and also sought states’ support in tackling temporary fluctuation in prices. Further, Finance Minister added that prevailing high interest rates to check rising inflation has been impacting the domestic demand. Therefore, the government would like to evolve a mechanism which will address the structural issues and enhance supply. The RBI has raised lending rate three times since September’13 to tame price rise through cooling demand.
Finance Minister further stated that the government aims to create positive action through economic reforms in the forthcoming budget to revive investor sentiment and promote growth. Regarding the GST issue, Finance Minister said that implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) has the potential to significantly improve the country’s growth story and the government will soon take measures for early rollout of GST.
