Concerned over the prevailing economic slowdown, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has stated that union budget 2014-15 will not indulge in mindless populism and the government would take bold decisions and pursue path of fiscal prudence to revive economy. India's economic growth stayed below 5 percent for the second year in a row at 4.7 percent during FY14.
Arun Jaitley highlighted widening fiscal deficit, rising inflation and Iraq crisis as key concerns for Indian economy. India's fiscal deficit in the first two months of the fiscal has already touched about 45 percent of the total budget estimate. Referring to investment scenario, Finance Minister has stated that the government will soon take measure to enhance the investment in the country. Foreign investment will be allowed where it is needed. Further, Jaitley asserted that though inflation is low as compared to last year, it is still above the comfort level. WPI Inflation rose to five-month high of 6.01 percent in May and there is probability of prices moving up further due to the predictions of below normal monsoon. Regarding the fears of deficit monsoon, Finance Minister stressed that below normal monsoon is a concern for country, but there is no need to worry as the country has huge amount of food.
Highlighting the need to improve the business sentiments in the country, Finance Minister has said that cumbersome process or oppressive legislations are creating unfavorable environment for doing business. The government will make much needed changes in legislatures to improve the business sentiments.
