Critical examination between the
fiscal deficit and growth* Indias fiscal deficit is one of the highest in the world* It is argued that large structural primary deficits and
interest payments relative to GDP have had an adverse
effect on growth in recent years
* There is a clear need to bring down the combined debt-GDP ratio from its current level.
* High level of fiscal deficit relative to GDP tend not onlyto cause sharp increase in debt equity ratio, but alsoadversely affect savings and investment andconsequently growth.
