Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran set the tone for businessline’s annual ‘Decoding the Budget 2027-27’ event on Friday evening by expanding on the paradox he had underlined in the Economic Survey of India’s high economic growth that is pitted against a volatile global system.
In the deliberations that followed, the CEA laid out the issues in context of the Economic Survey, the Union Budget and the two emerging mega free trade agreements with the European Union and the United States that were unpacked by the V Vualnam, Secretary, Department of Expenditure, Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs Anuradha Thakur and expert panelists in the two discussions on ‘Micro-Economic Impact of the Budget’ and ‘Budget and Trade’.
Nageswaran began by quoting businessline Editor Raghuvir Srinivasan’s reference, in his speech, to the past week that witnessed unprecedented economic activity beginning with India-EU FTA negotiations coming to a fruition.
