Accepting the challenging uncertain environment in the economy Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on August 11 informed lawmakers that it would be difficult to achieve fiscal target of 4.6% of the GDP in the current financial year. Finance Minister in his budget speech had announced the target of 4.6% fiscal deficit and a revenue deficit of 3.1% and government borrowing to be around Rs 3.4 trillion for the current financial year.
Mukherjee said “The Indian government aims to keep a tight leash on expenditure to meet its fiscal deficit target for the current financial year.” By adding further he said, ‘the government will try to spend as much possible in the initial months of this fiscal year so that it doesn't need parliament's approval for additional spending later, which may sway it from tight fiscal discipline.’
The government is aiming to reduce its fiscal deficit to 4.6% of Gross Domestic Product in the 2011-12, from 5.1% last year.
