Unpacking the Union Budget 2022-23
The heads of the five Institutes, the Centre for Policy Research (CPR), the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), the India Development Foundation (IDF), the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), and the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP), came together again, as they have been doing since March 2007, to discuss and present a reform and development perspective on the 2022-23 Union Budget.
Background note: All eyes are on the Union Budget 2022-23, to be presented in Parliament on February 1, 2022, by the Union Minister of Finance, Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman. This Budget comes against the backdrop of the third COVID-19 wave fuelled by the Omicron variant, and is scheduled for release a few weeks before Assembly Elections in some key States of the country. Can the Budget help revive India’s economy, bolster consumption and investments, and put the country on an equitable growth path?
The webinar hosted presentations by Yamini Aiyar from CPR, Deepak Mishra from ICRIER, Nishant Chadha from IDF, Poonam Gupta from NCAER, and Pinaki Chakraborty from NIPFP for this landmark 16th Five-Institute Budget Seminar. Mythili Bhusnurmath, Consulting Editor, The Economic Times and Senior Adviser, NCAER, moderated this Seminar, which is organised in rotation by each of the five collaborating institutions: this 16th Seminar was organised by CPR.
