Hike farmer income support, raise peak tax threshold: Ficci

TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ The recent slowdown in the economy stem not only from slow investment growth and subdued exports but also from weakening growth in consumption demand, industry body Ficci has told the Finance Ministry.

In a pre-Budget 2019-20 memorandum to the ministry, Ficci has warned of long-term repercussions if the serious concerns on the economy are not addressed urgently.

“Indian economy now faces the risk of slow growth amidst a weakening global economic environment and slowdown in domestic demand.

Amidst the rising uncertainties and economic challenges on both domestic and global fronts, there is an urgent need to re-energise the engines of growth and pump prime the economy,” the Ficci memorandum said.
