The Economic Survey 2023 was tabled by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Parliament today, kicking off the Budget session. The Economic Survey , prepared by the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) under the guidance of Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran, said India`s GDP growth is expected to remain robust and the country will remain the fastest growing major economy in the world. The Survey, however, noted that borrowing cost may remain `higher` for longer period as entrenched inflation may prolong.
