Finance minister has discussed India's economic reforms and outlook for
the future with investors in the U.S. He held roundtables with investors in
New York on India's economic reforms and vision for the future. The
minister is visiting the U.S. to attend the IMF-World Bank meeting in
Washington from Apr 12 to 14.
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) there is a lot of
scope in India for reducing untargeted food and fertilizer subsidies and
enhancing revenue administration. Responding to a question on
announcements made by political parties during this election season,
deputy director, IMF’s fiscal affairs department, said in India's case, the
priority continues to be gradual fiscal consolidation because the gross
general government to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio is at about
70%.
Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) said rising
protectionism, fluctuation in commodity prices and inadequate availability
of liquidity are the three major challenges that exporters will face in the
coming months. FIEO said the World Trade Organisation has cautioned
that the global trade growth is expected to be lower in 2019 than it was
last year. The other two challenges include fluctuation in commodity
prices and inadequate availability of credit as banks are not coming
forward to lend exporters.
India and Sweden have started a joint programme that will work
towards addressing a range of challenges around smart cities and clean
technologies, among others. The programme was co-funded by Indian
Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Swedish agency
Vinnova. Vinnova will provide funding to Swedish participants up to
2,500,000 Swedish Krona (around Rs 1.87 crore) as grant. On the Indian
side, conditional grant of up to 50% (with a limit of Rs 1.5 crore) per
project will be provided to the Indian partners.

hike decision can go either way.
