While
the government aspires to reach the USD 7 trillion milestone by 2030, the
Finance Ministry's review accentuates the strength of domestic demand, contributing
to a consistent 7% plus growth rate. The report anticipates that real GDP
growth in FY25 will likely approach 7%, with considerable potential for the
rate to surpass 7% by 2030.
Underlining the significance of the financial sector and structural reforms, the report expresses concerns primarily about geopolitical risks. The Chief Economic Adviser acknowledges unprecedented infrastructure development and increased public sector capital investment. However, amidst global economic challenges in the post-COVID recovery, the journey towards a USD 7 trillion economy is deemed feasible.
