As the Union Budget is around the corner, all eyes are on the Economic Survey 2026, a key policy document released annually ahead of the Union Budget. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will table the Survey in both Houses of Parliament today, 29 January, at 11 am, during the ongoing Budget Session.
The Department of Economic Affairs in the Finance Ministry has prepared the Economic Survey under the leadership of Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) V. Anantha Nageswaran.
Traditionally, the Economic Survey is presented on 31 January, but this year it is being presented earlier.
The document provides a detailed analysis and review of the previous fiscal year, sets the context for the year ahead, and offers insights into growth indicators and inflation forecasts. It also outlines the outlook for jobs, trade and the country's fiscal health.
