INDIA'S ECONOMMY
Economic inequality has increased in India by the end of year 2020, during which the
world suffered from Kovid 19 pandemic. Profits of the big industries have soared while
the unemployment among the rural women and urban youth has increased significantly.
The proposed budget for the fiscal year 2021-2022 does not provide needed income
support for the poor and liberal credit support for the revitalization of small and medium
industries.
Increased infrastructure spending and disinvestment of several public sector units
are welcome policy steps but the devil is in the degree of efficient implementation. To
come out safely from the pandemic, vaccination of the population needs to be followed
with aggressive speed. Protectionism is not good for India's gdp growth. The current trend
of increasing import duties is ill-advised, especially since it does not help promotion of
exports, which is vital for stimulating economic growth. Simplification of GST rates is still
needed to be done.
