  • Amid the concerning situation of the country's economy, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a slew of measures on Saturday aimed at boosting growth.

  • In what qualifies as an interesting announcement, Sitharaman said a mega shopping festival will be held across India in four destinations by March 2020.

    The festival will be held just like the ones held in Dubai. Apart from boosting exports of MSMEs, the festival will also help build connections, Sitharaman explained.

    She added the destinations will be decided by Commerce Ministry.

  • Inflation

    Sitharaman also claimed inflation was under control

  • About retail inflation, which touched a 10-month high of 3.21% in August, Sitharaman claimed it is "under control". She said inflation in the range of 2.5-4% is considered safe, and right now it is below 4%.

    Referring to the slowdown in industrial production, she added there was a clear sign of revival in the first quarter of 2019-20.

    She added reserves have gone up.

  • GDP

    Won't put number on GDP, but it will improve: Sitharaman

    Won't put number on GDP, but it will improve: Sitharaman
  • Saying she doesn't want to put a number on GDP growth, Sitharaman assured results of the upcoming quarter will be satisfactory.

    To recall, India's GDP growth rate hit a seven-year-low in April-June and was recorded at 5%.

    This naturally invited criticism for the Centre with former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh opining that at this rate, becoming a $5 trillion economy will be impossible.
