Interim Budget 2024-25 disappoints mutual funds, investors

By Economic Times - 10 months ago
“We continue on the path of fiscal consolidation, as announced in my budget speech for 2021-22, to reduce the fiscal deficit below 4.5 per cent by 2025-26. The fiscal deficit in 2024-25 is estimated to be 5.1 per cent of GDP, adhering to that path,” said the finance minister. “The gross and net market borrowings through dated securities during 2024-25 are estimated at Rs 14.13 and Rs 11.75 lakh crore respectively. Both will be less than that in 2023-24. Now that the private investments are happening at scale, the lower borrowings by the Central Government will facilitate larger availability of credit for the private sector,” she added.
