New Delhi: Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday expressed confidence that investments will rise significantly in the coming days as the Centre has taken various steps and given clear roadmap for growth.
"Government has taken a lot of steps in past few months and the mood about India is very positive. I see investments significantly moving up in days to come," the Finance Minister said.
Addressing the 7th edition of the Vibrant Gujarat Summit at Gandhinagar on Monday, Jaitley said, “The priorities of the government would be to spend more on infrastructure, incentivise expenditure in manufacturing to help boost growth and create more jobs.”
We have given decisive leadership, a clear roadmap for growth, he stressed.
Jaitley also pointed out the steps and reforms taken by the government to ease doing business in India like the non-adversarial tax regime.
The BJP leader also said that the goods and services tax (GST) would come into effect next year.
Earlier on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised to make India the "easiest" destination to do business with a stable tax regime and a predictable, transparent and fair policy environment.
In a major push to the manufacturing sector to boost economic growth and create jobs, PM Modi said that a single window clearance for projects is being set up at both central and state level.
