New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will table Economic Survey 2024-25 on Friday (January 31), providing an official assessment of the performance of the economy in the ongoing financial year, and listing out the challenges being faced by the nation.
The Economic Survey, tabled in Parliament ahead of the Union Budget also provides the roadmap for reforms and growth.
The document is prepared by a team led by Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran.
The survey outlines the developments in the economy and various sectors, in addition to providing an outlook for the next financial year.
The document is expected to provide an assessment of key developments like slowing growth, declining value of the rupee against the US dollar, and subdued consumption demand.
Often surveys come up with new and out-of-the-box ideas to meet challenges relating to poverty alleviation, climate change, education, infrastructure development, and the financial sector.
On Saturday (February 1), Finance Minister Sitharaman will table the first full Budget of the Modi 3.0 government amid expectations of tweaking income tax slabs, a major boost for the infrastructure sector, and larger allocations for rural development and the education sector.
The Budget Session will commence on Friday with President Droupadi Murmu addressing the joint sitting of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
