12:03 pm - The Indian Government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, witnesses Finance Minister Arun Jaitley table the Economic Survey on the Parliament floor.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will table the Economic Survey in the Parliament on Friday, a day ahead of the Union Budget presentation.
The Economic Survey describes the broader contours of the Budget and acts as the nation's report card for economic performance.
It is expected to highlight the economic recovery attempted after the Narendra Modi-led government came to power.
The flagship annual document is likely to point to the more favorable Balance of Payment (BoP) situation which is prevalent due to the fall in crude oil prices. Research studies say India has benefitted the most due to crude price fall as it has helped the government wipe away fuel deficits.
The annual document, authored by the Ministry of Finance, reviews the performance of the economy over the last 12 months and showcases the major achievements of development programs, highlights the policy initiatives, and explains the short-midterm prospects of the economy.
With the base-year revised, the economic growth for 2013-14 was recorded at 6.9% against the earlier lower than 5% growth recorded against a base year of 2004-05.
The computation of the GDP calculation has been revised a month ago, read ZeeNews.
The new indices are to be studied carefully as the trends relating to public sector debt, public expenditure and taxes are linked directly to the GDP and are understood as a proportion to the national GDP.
