Budget 2020: How PM Narendra Modi reacted to Economic Survey 2020?

The Economic Survey focuses on wealth creation for Indians and outlines a multi-faceted strategy to achieve a $5 trillion economy through enterprise, exports and the ease of doing business, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday.

"The #EconomicSurvey 2019-20 focuses on wealth-creation for 130 crore Indians. It outlines a multi-faceted strategy to achieve a $5 trillion economy through enterprise, exports, ease of doing business and more," Modi said on Twitter.

How industry experts reacted to Economic Survey 2020?

"Even amidst global slowdown and liquidity concerns, the GDP growth projections for the next financial year are higher than that of global emerging economies which is a good sign. It's important to note that global growth will take a hit due to external events such as the Coronavirus, which will be reflected in India’s growth as well. While such situations are beyond control, what the government can work on is creating more jobs, bolstering rural economy and infrastructure capabilities of India, to stay on the road of achieving the growth targets,"
Harsh Jain, Co-founder, and COO, Groww said.

"Good to see that the Economic Survey has dedicated ‘Assemble in India for the World’ as an encouraging step for manufacturers that can provide them with wider network options and market access but in order to make India a major exporter, the government needs to focus on quick and seamless integration of technology that can boost EODB for exporters. The government aims to secure 4 crore well-paid jobs by 2025 and 8 crore by 2030, so it is vital for India to upskill the workforce for specialization and quality that will make room for job creation with unique skill sets. If India strengthens its port infrastructure, this could be a big boost for the logistics sector, further edging up the country's position in the global supply chain.  The task is cut out for the Finance Minister as she presents her budget tomorrow. It needs to be seen if the government rejigs the export promotion schemes to make it WTO compliant and propose measures that enhance access to credit for SME exporters for tech upgradation, capability development, value addition etc," Pushkar Mukewar, Co-CEO, Drip Capital said.
