during its first meeting of 2022.
• March 2020, it lowered rates to 0, in response to COVID
• Till November 2021, Fed viewed rising inflation as transitory
• Thereafter, it pivoted to being hawkish
• From July 2020, U.S. 10 year roe in yields from 0.6% to 1.95% today.
MORE CREDIBLE TARGETS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
• At the same time, lower investment in fossil fuels, and geo-political tension triggered
supply shortages
All this puts monetary and fiscal policy in a tight spot and in uncharted territory.

Policy Dilemma
• In a catch 22 situation of low growth, and rising inflation
• To provide income support to informal sector and rural – the most
impacted by the pandemic and lockdowns.
• To bring the economy back to a high growth path
• To raise increasing taxes to spend, or to borrow large amounts to
spend.
• Spending on revenue items to provide immediate relief (particularly
in an important state election year), or to spend on capital items for
medium term growth
• To keep lowering the fiscal deficit to avoid a credit rating downgrade
to junk and ultimately get back to FRBM targets with a glide path.
• Among peer countries with the same credit rating, per capita and
debt levels are very high outliers for India compared to other
countries.
Significance of Union Budget
• Under this backdrop, the Finance Minister had to keep a fine
balance of Fiscal Prudence, populism and real economic growth
• Union budget is a potent fiscal tool and not merely accounting
arithmetic
• It has far reaching ramifications on the macroeconomic identity
• Y = C + I + G + nX
• C = a+Byd
• I =I –φi
• G-T
• NX = X- mY
• The tax revenues and tax rates typically also has far reaching
impact on influencing the size of the multiplier,
• While the composition of expenditure goes a long way in
influencing GDP
• Its a powerful tool for re-allocation of resources
Budget – Fiscal DeficitKey Parameter
Total expenditure – 39.45 lakh crores
• 31.95 lakh crores on the revenue account,
• 7.5 lakh crores on the capital account, still lower than pre-
pandemic levels.
Total receipts other than borrowing
• 27.58lakh crore from taxes and
• 2.7 lakh crore from Non tax revenue in FY23,
• Fiscal Deficit –16.61 lakh crores
