The 2022-23 Budget has been delivered. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has laid down her priorities clearly.

The focus is reviving growth and fiscal consolidation will happen but not in a hurry. The government has given a massive push for capital expenditure in its bid to lay the foundation for a rapid pace of economic growth and also with a hope that it will crowd-in private capital expenditure.

After many years, there is a possibility that all four engines of growth – public consumption, government spending, private capex and exports – may fire in unison. If that happens, Indian economy will register a rapid pace of growth.

Has this Budget given the necessary impetus for it? When does the government see a revival in private investments? Will lack of demand side stimulus come in the way? How does the government plan to tackle the skewed recovery post-pandemic? Where does it see the bond yields which are on the boil after government announced a large gross borrowing for FY23?

To discuss all this and more, The Hindu BusinessLine is holding its annual ‘Decoding The Budget’ panel discussion.

Finance Secretary T V Somanathan will be discussing the salient aspects of the Budget with a panel of experts which include R Seshasayee, Vice-Chairman, Hinduja Group; R Dinesh, MD, TVS Supply Chain Solutions; Debjani Ghosh, President, Nasscom and DK Srivastava, Chief Policy Advisor, Ernst and Young.

The discussion will be moderated by Raghuvir Srinivasan, Editor, The Hindu BusinessLine.
