Economic Survey Highlights….Growth expected at 8% growth in 2015/16…

India can increase investments without borrowing more, a key government report said on Friday, in an indication that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will stick to debt targets in his maiden full-year budget on Saturday.

The economic survey, the basis for Jaitley’s budget for the fiscal year starting April 1, forecast the economy would grow by 8.1-8.5 percent under a new calculation method that makes India the world’s top-growing big economy.

The survey was prepared by the finance ministry’s chief economic adviser Arvind Subramanian.

Following are the highlights of the survey:

FISCAL DEFICIT:

* India must meet its medium-term fiscal deficit target of 3 percent of GDP

* Government will adhere to fiscal deficit target of 4.1 percent of GDP in 2014/15

* Govt should ensure expenditure control to reduce fiscal deficit

* Expenditure control and expenditure switching to investment key

GROWTH:

* 2015/16 GDP growth seen at over 8 pct y/y

* Double digit economic growth trajectory now a possibility

* Economic growth at market prices seen between 8.1 – 8.5 percent in 2015/16 on new GDP calculation formula

* Total stalled projects seen at about 7 percent of GDP, mostly in private sector

REFORMS:

* There is scope for big bang reforms now

* India can increase public investments and still hit its borrowing targets

INFLATION:

* Inflation shows declining trend in 2014/15

* Inflation likely to be below central bank target by 0.5 – 1 percentage point

* Lower inflation opens up space for more monetary policy easing

* Govt and central bank need to conclude monetary framework pact to consolidate gains in inflation control

* Consumer inflation in 2015/16 likely to range between 5-5.5 percent

FISCAL CONSOLIDATION:

* Govt remains committed to fiscal consolidation

* India can balance short-term imperative of boosting public investment to revitalize growth with fiscal discipline

* Outlook for external financing is correspondingly favourable

CURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICIT:

* Estimated at about 1.3 percent of GDP in 2014/15 and less than 1.0 percent of GDP in 2015/16

SUBSIDIES:

* Overhauling of subsidy regime would pave the way for expenditure rationalisation

LIQUIDITY:

* Liquidity conditions expected to remain comfortable in 2015/16
