Budget 2018: A significant step forward, says ICICI Lombard's MD & CEO Mr. Bhargav Dasgupta
The Union Budget 2018 was announced amid the backdrop of path breaking measures like demonetization and introduction of GST last year. The announcements made in the budget indicate that the Government has rightly focused on targeting the key enabling areas of agriculture, education, health, power and women empowerment. Further, it has shown fiscal prudence by limiting the fiscal slippage from the target set earlier.
