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.
09 Jun 2024, 10:20 AM (IST)
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.
