Fiscal Deficit

• How does the government plan to meet the shortfall of Rs.5.14 Lakh crore?• Borrowings• Taxes• Printing Notes

Printing Notes ?• Suppose that there is only one commodity that everyone needs to buy in order to live a good life say

wheat. • Total Money in the economy – Rs. 1 crore.

• Total Production - 10,000 quintals of wheat every year.

• Total Population - 25,000

• Since this Rs. 1 crore is spent to purchase ten thousand quintals of wheat, the cost of wheat is Rs. 1,000 per quintal.

• Now suppose to repay some of its debt, the Government decides to print some new currency notes worth Rs. 10 lacs. So money in economy increases to Rs. 1.1 crores.

• Since the amount of wheat produced hasn't increased, each tonne of wheat now costs Rs. 1,100, a 10% increase.

• So we have just seen that the effect of debt monetization is "inflation."

• Is Fiscal deficit always bad

Twin Deficit effect

• An economy is deemed to have a double deficit if it has a current account deficit and a fiscal deficit. In effect, the economy is borrowing from foreigners in exchange for foreign-made goods. Traditional macroeconomics predicts that persistent double deficits will lead to currency devaluation/depreciationthat can be severe and sudden.

Current A/c Deficit

Gold -Current Account Deficit (CAD)• There are two main villains responsible for India’s current account deficit: 1) gold import 2)

crude oil import.

Why do people invest in gold?

• To invest in share market / mutual funds, you need PAN CARD + DEMAT Account. • Inflation is high. So the profit (return) offered on savings, FD = not attractive.• When you combine these factors: most people prefer to invest in gold / silver.• Rising demand for gold is only a “symptom” of more fundamental problems • Gold is a non-productive asset

How to stop gold rush?• One solution = increase duty on gold import. But problem= people will start smuggling. Then

Government will not get any import duty at all.Therefore, Economic survey suggests following things :-• Government should curb the inflation.• Second problem is lack of financial instruments available to the average citizen, especially in

the rural areas. (they don’t have PAN card, DEMAT account or knowledge ). Initiatives for financial inclusion.

• Introduction of inflation indexed bonds.

What is FRBM ?

• Act Introduced in Lok Sabha in December 2000.• Objectives include:1. Long-term macroeconomic stability2. Inter-generational equity in fiscal management.

• It aimed at:1. Reducing revenue deficit2. Reducing gross fiscal deficit3. Reducing the Public debt4. No Borrowing from the RBI

No Clear Road Map For GST

Release of first tanche of Rs.9,000 crore as CST compensation for states Urged them to help the central roll out the Goods & Service Tax(GST). But expert do not see the new regime being rolled out any time soon. No clear road map on GST, compared to previous year’s budget which

talked about GST network establishments”.

On Infrastructure Front

PC PROMISES MORE ……………….

ON GROWTH – Time for prudence, restrain & patience. ON FISCAL DEFICIT NUMBERS – The numbers are absolutely credible.

Subsidies would reduce. ON GST & DTC – DTC bill by the end of the budget session. No deadline

for GST. ON SPECTRUM AUCTION - As far as Spectrum are concerned a note of

the fact that this year the Spectrum auction did not yield the amount. ON DBT- The food subsidy & the fertiliser subsidy will be among the last

subsidies to be transferred. Vodafone – Matter may go for conciliation
