Economists Wednesday called on the government to continue with bold reforms and keep up the focus on growth and reconstruction, sources said.
In a pre-Budget consultation meeting with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, some economists impressed upon the government not to unduly worry about the fiscal trajectory for FY23. The customary pre-Budget meetings were held with the FM virtually between December 15 and December 22.
They presented suggestions, including rationalisation of personal income-tax slabs and deepening bond market.
