India’s Budget session has been extended by a day to allow for the tabling of a “white paper” on alleged economic mismanagement under the previous Congress-led UPA government. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the white paper in both houses of Parliament on Feb 10, highlighting the economic challenges faced before 2014 and the subsequent turnaround under the current government.
White papers are formal government documents that present policy proposals, often bound in white covers. They have been used historically to introduce new policies or legislation and gauge public reaction to government initiatives.
A white paper on macroeconomic mismanagement in India would likely be a comprehensive document that analyzes and assesses various aspects of India’s macroeconomic policies, performance, and challenges. It would typically cover a wide range of topics related to the management of the economy at the national level, including fiscal policy, monetary policy, exchange rate policy, trade policy, and structural reforms.
Economic Indicators: An overview of key economic indicators such as GDP growth, inflation rate, unemployment rate, fiscal deficit, current account deficit, etc., to provide a snapshot of the overall economic situation.
Case Studies: Case studies of specific episodes of macroeconomic mismanagement in India, such as currency crises, inflationary spikes, fiscal slippages, etc., to illustrate key issues and lessons learned.
The white paper serves as a tool for the government to communicate its analysis of past economic policies and present its vision for the future. It aims to educate the public on economic issues and gather feedback on proposed strategies.
Caution: It is not an Adda 247’s personal views rather influenced by various government reports and contemporary news!!
