Motilal Oswal Financial Services said in a report that the Interim Union Budget 2024 was presented on 1st Feb’24. Although the Finance Minister had already informed that no “spectacular announcements” are forthcoming, the market participants had some expectations.
However, notwithstanding the general elections, the ability of the GoI to resist any populist schemes or incentives is extremely commendable. Not only this, the fact that the GoI has budgeted a fiscal deficit of 5.1 per cent of GDP for FY25 (and lower than budgeted in FY24RE), it is extremely serious about its (tall) task of achieving 4.5 per cent of GDP by FY26.
This clearly shows that the GoI is totally committed towards the long-term macro-economic stability, even if it comes at the sacrifice of growth in the short-term, the report said.
