Few days after admitting that the Indian economy slowed down in 2016-17, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has assured that the positive impact of the government’s reform measures would get reflected in the medium to long term and noted that India is the only economy which could maintain a growth rate of 7-8 per cent amid challenges like the country’s weak public sector banks (PSBs) and initial disturbance of demonetisation, Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Finance Minister further listing the various reform measures like GST rollout, demonetisation, containing of inflation and recapitalisation of public sector banks, said that the coming generations will remember the government for creating this new economic history. Jaitley also pointed that structural reforms have a price and the government has also paid price in the short term but the price bottoms out itself and then the curve begins to move up and the signs of that are beginning to come.
On the benefits of reforms measures, Arun Jaitley said that though the country faced some initial issues with GST regime, it is beneficial in the medium and long term and is also brining more tax revenue compared to the past years. Finance Minister also mentioned the government’s continuous efforts to improve health of PSU lenders, with its huge recapitalisation plan of over Rs 2.12 lakh crore.
