"A sharp decline in real fixed investment induced by a sluggish growth of real consumption has weighed down GDP growth from 2nd half of 2018-19 to 1st half of 2019-20," the Survey tabled in the Parliament on Friday said. The Survey pointed out that real consumption growth had recovered in Q2 of 2019-20 on the back of higher government spending.

What to expect from Budget 2020?

"Given the state of the economy, there are a lot of expectations from the budget. The government should do more to incentivize investments in startups especially in the fin-tech sector in order to expedite financial inclusion. A common KYC for banks, investments, and insurance will go a long way in accelerating that goal.Regulations need to provide stability and clarity and not change abruptly without due consultations. On the personal finance front, the overhaul of income tax slabs is long due. Also, we are hoping that the income tax deduction limit under section 80C gets raised to 2 lakhs," Ankur Choudhary, Co-Founder & CIO, Goalwise.com said.

"Over the last few years, with a larger number of businesses incorporating emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, there has been a sharp rise in demand for curating specialized skill-sets. In this direction, the Government, in the soon-to-be-announced Budget 2020, should take measures which duly fill the severe need-gaps. Allotting funds towards the required training and technical know-how will be instrumental in empowering the deserving and well-minded youth of the country with industry-aligned germane skills like AI, IoT, Big Data and Robotics," Aakrit Vaish, CEO, Haptik said.
