Modi’s maiden budget to be growth-oriented: Arvind Mayaram

25 Jun 2014 Evaluate

Much in line with expectations, Finance secretary Arvind Mayaram unveiled that Modi government's maiden budget would be "growth-oriented" with some major changes to lift the economy from the doldrums to higher growth orbit. He also highlighted that policy reforms, including those for taxation and financial sector could also be announced in the budget, which is scheduled to be announced on July 10. The Finance Secretary underscored that while many policy initiatives have been announced by respective ministries after Modi took charge as PM, the finance ministry will present in details the capital expenditure and outlays for various schemes including infrastructure.

He further highlighted that some tough decisions, especially on subsidies, could be announced to curb wasteful expenditure and raise capital outlays. This was merely reiteration of Modi’s statement that bitter medicine was required to put economy back on track. However, he emphasized though Finance minister Arun Jaitley, in the budget, may focus on fiscal prudence and adhere to the fiscal target of close to 4.1% of GDP for 2014-15, but at the same time may not be too over-ambitious in cutting the deficit beyond 4.1% by curtailing capital expenditure.

During the last few years of UPA regime, the finance ministry squeezed capital expenditure to 1.7% of GDP during 2013-14 from 1.9% in 2010-11 and 2.4% during the pre-Lehman crisis of 2007-08, even though the total expenditure remained near about 14% in the last four years.

Meanwhile, in separate development, Finance secretary averred that the country would prefer FDI route over FII inflows if overseas resources were required to be generated to spur economic expansion to its potential level of 8%.
