It is a fantastic Budget, there is nothing not to like about it, says Shankar Sharma

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday unveiled the Union Budget for fiscal 2023-24 that aims to boost growth amid concerns about the impact of the global slowdown on the Indian economy. The FM said that the economy is growing the fastest among major economies and it has become the fifth-largest economy in the world in the last nine years. The economy has  become a lot more formalised, she said.

Speaking to CNBC-TV18 Shankar Sharma, Founder of GQuant Investech believes that there is nothing not to like about this budget. He had a gut feeling that FM would not do anything to damage sentiment because sentiment was very fragile going into the Budget session and that expectation was met.

He said, “On every other front, including personal taxation I mean, it's been just a fantastic budget. So I just think the last couple of months or maybe three months, have been a little sideways for the markets. I think the markets have conclusively broken out. I mean, there is nothing not to like about this budget.”
