Key Economic Targets Economic Plan

Fiscal Deficit Reduction Economic Plan
Another vital part of any economic plan is controlling fiscal deficits; this one is no exception either. The deficit is projected to be around 6% of GDP during the current fiscal year (FY). Next year (FY), the government intends to lower it even further to 4.7% of GDP before finally bringing it to the lowest level possible by FY 2026-27 when it should not exceed 3.6%. After that nothing can stop us from cutting them more till FY 2028 comes knocking on our doors begging us not to go below zero percent because we’ll have already reached there!
