Assocham urges to relax fiscal deficit targets and boost public expenditure

03 Oct 2017 Evaluate

Raising its concern over the sluggishness of the Indian economy, industry body Assocham has urged the government to relax fiscal deficit targets and boost public expenditure as a means to accelerate India's economic growth. The chamber said India Inc is looking up to the government to take the ‘out of ordinary’ measures, citing “concerns over slowdown in growth due to the transient disruptions in the economy following GST implementation and the remaining over-hang of demonetization”.

Assocham Secretary General D S Rawat said that the fiscal targets can be taken to 3.7 per cent, but with a strict oversight over quality of expenditure so that the extra resources are wisely spent in building and reviving investment in infrastructure sectors like roads, power, railways, ports. He also said that present economic scenario requires immediate intervention of the government so that any disruptive impact of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is minimised.

The Industry body has also written to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to cut the interest rates by at least by 25 basis points, outlining the challenges faced by the economy which needs immediate measures for revival of growth. It said that economy is facing multiple challenges as growth is slowing down and investment is not picking up. Consumers have cut down on spending and businesses have also lost momentum' and the RBI should target the real effective exchange rate more effectively, as the effective exchange rate of the rupee has appreciated against India's trading partners, hitting the country's exports.
