Budget signals slowing fiscal consolidation, says Moody’s

The Budget signals slowing fiscal consolidation as focus shifts to reinforcing growth, global ratings agency Moody’s Ratings said on Tuesday but it expects that govt is within reach of its near-term deficit target of 4.5% by fiscal 2025-26.
“Planned cuts to personal income tax rates will bolster middle-class spending power and consumption, which is credit positive for many corporates and the financial sector,” the agency said in a note. “However, the resulting foregone revenue will slow the pace of the country’s fiscal consolidation even as total spending declines as a share of GDP. The proportion of spending allocated to debt servicing continues to increase,” Moody’s Ratings said. It said the increase in exemption limits for income tax will boost disposable income, particularly for urban middle-class households. The agency said that along with easing inflation, higher growth in real income will bolster consumption growth, facilitating a credit-positive recovery for many consumer-facing sectors. Moody’s said in the Budget for the fiscal year ending March 2026 (fiscal 2025-26), govt is targeting a central govt deficit of 4.4% of GDP.

  3. Along with everything that seems to be developing within this particular area, a significant percentage of points of view are generally very exciting. Nevertheless, I appologize, because I can not subscribe to your whole idea, all be it radical none the less.
