Sanjeev Krishan, Chairperson, PwC India

“Economic Survey 2023 presents an optimistic growth projection of 6.5% as a baseline banking on the lagged effect of reforms undertaken over the last 6 years paying off as the drags on the economy from the pandemic, high commodity prices and risks of a global slowdown wear off. The strong balance sheet of banks and corporates are rightly assumed to give a private capex push in addition to the government capex push if the assumptions on the external and demand front are realised."

Biz2credit and Biz2X's Rohit Arora on eco survey

Rohit Arora, CEO and Co-founder, Biz2credit and Biz2X, said, “The Economic survey has estimated India's growth to be 6.5% in 2023-24, compared to 7% in the current fiscal and 8.7% in 2021-22. Gross domestic product (GDP) in nominal terms is projected to be 11% in the next fiscal.

The good news is that the post COVID economic revival in India has been robust and momentum is building. Much of this growth can be attributed to surge in private consumption, higher capex, firming up of corporate balance sheet, credit growth to small businesses (30.5% rise in between January and November, 2022) and return of migrant workers to cities and towns.

The focus on capex-led growth will enable India to keep the growth-interest rate differential positive. A positive growth-interest rate differential will help keep the debt levels sustainable. I also feel that the supply-side reforms that the Government will announce soon will bring long term positive benefits to the economy. However, as the survey has rightly indicated, the economy needs to remain cautious in terms of the Consumer Price Index inflation."

Vinod Nair on Economic survey

Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, said, “Economic survey is optimistic that India will continue to grow at a healthy rate in the medium term, led by consumption and capital expenditure. And the growth can expand to as high as 7 to 8 percent in the future. The fundamentals of the Indian economy are solid, however, in the short to medium-term, widening current account deficit for an extended period is a concern that could have an implication on growth and depreciation of the INR. For the budget, it is going to be a challenge in FY24 to plan out the expenditures due to a short-term slowdown in the economy, high core inflation, and fiscal deficit."
