SUMMARY
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday tabled the Economic Survey 2020 in Parliament. The survey, prepared by Chief Economic Advisor Krishnamurthy Subramanian. India’s economic survey said intervention by the government, though well-intended, often ends up undermining the ability of markets to create wealth and leads to outcomes that are the opposite of the intentions. The survey, which forecast growth of 6-6.5 percent in the next financial year starting April 1, gave the examples of commodities, drugs, foodgrain and debt waivers to buttress this point. Here are the key highlights of the survey:
