Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget 2023–24 on February 1 while the Economic Survey was tabled by the Finance Minister on January 31 after the President's address on the first day of the Budget session. The survey forecast India's economy to grow 6% to 6.8% in the financial year starting on April 1, down from 7% projected for the current year amid a global slowdown.
The government's annual Economic Survey report said its baseline scenario for growth for 2023-24 was 6.5%, with nominal growth, which accounts for inflation, forecast at 11%.
The survey said the pace of price increases is not high enough to deter private consumption or low enough to weaken investment, even though it remained above the central bank's inflation target in 2022/23.
