Expressing confidence over India’s growth, Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg has said that it is a plausible aspiration for India and the country has also potential to become a $10 trillion economy by 2030. He added that this target is likely to be achieved with the help of a sustained average growth of 8% coupled with an assumed devaluation of Indian rupee vis-a-vis US dollar at Re one per year.
Garg further on the fiscal management has said that the fiscal situation will not be allowed to deteriorate even though this is an election year. Besides, he also said that India would shortly achieve the targeted 3% fiscal deficit level and that it will be more permanent and sustainable in nature. On the country’s macroeconomic indicators, he said that tax to gross domestic product (GDP) ratio has improved from 10% to 11.6%, and fresh private capital investment is likely as capacity utilisation has increased.
Talking about the banking sector, the Minister said that great level of financialisation of economy has happened since demonetisation where mutual funds have become a major non-banking investor. He projected that the economy will rebalance from bank based to financial markets based lending. He added that GST has changed the way corporates interact with the tax infrastructure. Expressing satisfaction over job creation in the economy, he pointed out that more needs to be done in infrastructure and manufacturing sector.
