While addressing the Budget Session of the Parliament, she said that with the help of government schemes, millions have been lifted out of poverty across the country. Following this, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will table the Economic Survey 2024-25 today (January 31).
The finance minister, through the Economic Survey, provides an official assessment of the state of the economy in the current financial year, about the performance of the economy in the previous year and also the outlook for the upcoming fiscal year. It will also list out the challenges being faced by the country. The Economic Survey also provides the roadmap for reforms and growth.
The document has been prepared under Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran. Naushad Forbes, Co-chairman, Forbes Marshall and former president of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), said, “We have a fine CEA at present and hopefully we will see an economic survey that is consistent with what we need as a country.”
Later on Saturday, FM Sitharaman will table Budget 2025 amid key expectations including tax relief measures, tax rate rationalisation, capex boost and consumption push, all while maintaining fiscal consolidation.
