Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman is presenting the Union Budget 2023. This is her fifth and the last full year Budget of the Modi 2.0 government. Sitharaman termed the Union Budget 2023 as the first Budget of 'Amrit Kaal' and said that the Indian economy is is growing the fastest among major economies. India Budget 2023 is being presented at a time when the major advanced economies in the world are crippled by a slow down and are even staring at a possible recession. In this backdrop, the Economic Survey still expects India’s GDP to grow between the 6-6.8% range, maintaining its tag of being the fastest growing economy in the world. What also bodes well for the GDP growth prospects is that the Survey has said that India’s recovery from the shock of the Covid-19 pandemic is complete.
