2. A. Preface
Finance Minister P. Chidambaram presented the Union Budget 2013-14 in parliament on 28th February, 2013 in
the backdrop of current grave economic crisis which is reflected in the growth trajectory in last two years. The
combination of low growth, high inflation, high fiscal deficit and ever high trade/current account deficit has raised
a lot of concerns. The deterioration in the economic situation can be marginally attributed to developments taking
place abroad. With an optimism to improve our macroeconomic environment and strengthen domestic growth
drivers to sustain high growth in the medium term, the Finance minister presented his 8th and Indiaâs 82nd Annual
Budget.
The Key Economic challenges currently faced by the economy include getting back to potential growth rate of 8
percent, inclusive development emphasis on improving human development indicators especially of women, the
scheduled castes, the scheduled tribes, the minorities and some backward classes, encouraging foreign investment
that is consistent with our economic objectives, controlling inflation and fiscal deficit.
Economic Overview
Slowdown in Indian economy has to be seen in the context of slowing global economic growth
from 3.9 per cent in 2011 to 3.2 per cent in 2012. However, no reason for gloom or pessimism.
Of the large countries of the world only China and Indonesia growing faster than India in 2012-
13. In 2013-14, only China projected to grow faster than India.
Between 2004 and 2008 and again in 2009-10 and 2010-11 the growth rate was over 8 per cent
and crossed 9 per cent in four of those six years.
High growth rate can again be achieved through cooperation. âHigher growth leading to inclusive
and sustainable developmentâ to be the mool mantra.
The purpose of Budget is to create economic space and find resources to achieve the objective of
inclusive development.
A new fiscal consolidation path with fiscal deficit at 5.3 per cent of GDP this year and 4.8 per
cent of GDP in 2013-14 has been announced by the Government.
Foreign investment in an imperative in view of the high current account deficit (CAD). FII, FDI
and ECB three main source of CAD Financing. Foreign investment that is consistent with our
economic objectives is to be encouraged.
Development must be economically and ecologically sustainable and democratically legitimate.
Battle against inflation must be fought on all fronts. Efforts in the past few months have brought
down headline WPI inflation to about 7 per cent and core inflation to about 4.2 percent.
