Asserting that the world has confidence in India and its economy, Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs Anurag Thakur has said that the government is aiming to make India among the top three economies of the world by 2025. He noted that the country has overtaken France and the UK to become the world’s fifth-largest economy. He added that various financial institutions, including IMF and RBI, have estimated that India will once again attain fast growth.
The minister has stated that IMF and RBI have said India is bound to grow at the rate of 6-6.5 percent in financial year 2020-21, that clearly shows that the world has confidence in India and Indian economy and the government is taking all the steps in that direction. He said ‘if you look at FDI inflows during the last five years into the country, they far exceed the FDI during the 10 years of UPA rule. He added that the country's foreign exchange reserves swelled by $3.091 billion to a lifetime high of $476.092 billion in, mainly due to a rise in foreign currency assets.
Thakur said ‘the fiscal deficit, which used to be at 5.2 percent during the UPA regime, has come down to 3.3 percent, though this year it will be 3.8 percent and next year we will bring it down to 3.5 percent.’ He also said the government has shown what fiscal discipline is Inflation, which used to be 12 percent, came down to 4 percent. He added that all macroeconomic indicators point that India is going ahead in the right direction.
