PMEAC’s chairman stresses on need to scale down CAD to 2.5%; pegs 3.5% for this fiscal

29 Nov 2012 Evaluate

Emphasizing the need to scale down the current account deficit (CAD) to 2.5 per cent over a period of time from over 4.5 per cent at present, Prime Minister’s Economic Adviser Council Chairman C Rangarajan has pegged the CAD for the current fiscal at 3.5 per cent of the GDP. Given that the country was moving on a 'difficult phase' on its economic growth, Rangarajan said one of the tools required to bring the economy back on growth track was by reining in CAD.

However, besides stressing the need for moderating the CAD, the former Reserve Bank Governor also pointed that need of addressing some major macro-economic concerns like 'taming the inflation' and addressing 'fiscal deficit'. Highlighting three years of high inflation, he said the same should now be brought down to comfortable levels.

Secondly the PMEAC’s chairman added that the process of fiscal consolidation must continue, for the economy to resume the high level of growth. Seeking to promote investment and growth, finance minister P Chidambaram unveiled a five-year fiscal consolidation roadmap to contain deficit and move ahead with taxation and expenditure management reforms. The fiscal consolidation roadmap, which is based on the recommendations of the Kelkar Committee, seeks to bring down the fiscal deficit to 4.8 per cent in 2013-14, reducing it gradually to 3 per cent by 2016-17.
