PM Modi Swearing-In Ceremony LIVE: Why do sustained economic reforms matter?

Sustained economic reforms are essential for any economy for several reasons. They are vital for fostering long-term prosperity, stability, and inclusive growth in a rapidly changing global landscape.

• Economic Growth: Continuous reforms can stimulate economic growth by enhancing productivity, fostering innovation, and attracting investments.
• Competitiveness: Reforms help economies become more competitive globally, leading to increased exports and improved trade balances.
• Job Creation: Reforms often create opportunities for job growth, particularly in sectors where liberalization and deregulation occur.
• Poverty Reduction: A growing economy fueled by reforms can alleviate poverty by providing more employment opportunities and increasing household incomes.
• Efficiency: Reforms often aim to streamline regulations, improve infrastructure, and enhance the efficiency of markets, leading to better resource allocation and reduced waste.
• Resilience: Continuous reforms can make economies more resilient to external shocks by diversifying their economic base and reducing dependencies on vulnerable sectors.
• Social Development: Economic reforms can also facilitate social development by improving access to education, healthcare, and other essential services through increased government revenues.

PM Modi Oath Ceremony LIVE: Economists expect big bang reforms to continue under Modi 3.0

Economists believe that the Modi 3.0 government will not slow down with reforms, as economic reforms and policy reviews need to continue across multiple sectors - including infrastructure, labour and manufacturing - to drive economic growth and development in India.

"There's likely to be a swerve towards greater populist spending and some commitment of resources to states of alliance partners is also likely. But India's public finances are in relatively robust health and to be augmented by significant reserves from the RBI. India's infrastructure spending will continue apace but perhaps with greater private sector participation. Expenditure on defence modernisation and indigenisation will also undoubtedly continue," according to eminent economist Gautam Sen.
