non-development expenditure. Due to persistent rise in fiscal deficit there was corresponding
rise in public debt and interest payment liability there was possibility that the economy might
lead to debt-trap situation. Thus it becomes essential for the government to reduce its non-
development expenditure and restore fiscal discipline in the economy.
2. Adverse balance of payment :When receipts of foreign exchange fall short of their payments,
the problem of adverse balance of payment arises. Despite the restrictive policy adopted by the
government till 1990 import substitution and export promotion the desired result could not be
meet. Our export could not compete in terms of price and quality in the international market. As
a result there was slow growth of export and rapid increase in imports. Accordingly the burden
of foreign debt services increased tremendously and leading to depletion of foreign exchange
reserves.
3.Gulf Crises: On account of Iraq war in 1990-91 prices of petrol shot-up . Besides india used to
receive huge amount of remittances from gulf countries in terms of foreign exchange.
4. Poor performances of PSU’s:
Due to poor performances of public sector undertakings degenerated in to a liability. Most of
public sector undertakings were incurring loss and their performance was quiet satisfactory. On
account of these factors, it becomes imperative for the government to adopt new economic
policy or to initiate economic reforms.
