In a departure from tradition, the Finance Ministry plans to present a concise economic overview, similar to an Economic Survey, ahead of the February 1 interim budget.
This document will focus on key indicators and forecasts for 2023-24, providing a snapshot of India's economic performance before the full annual financial statement in June-July. While not as detailed, it will cover crucial aspects such as GDP growth, nominal GDP growth target, and oil prices.
The ministry is currently discussing packaging options for this concise document, aiming to offer valuable insights into the country's economic landscape before the interim budget.
