This topical book has as its background the ongoing programme of economic reforms in India. It provides a lucid analysis of the logic and basis of the entire reform agenda. Concentrating on fiscal and financial sector reforms, Dr Chelliah examines in detail the steps needed to complete the reform process initiated in 1991. In this context he presents a comprehensive analysis of the fiscal situation with special emphasis on controlling the fiscal deficit.
The author also analyses interstate differences in economic conditions and social development as a prelude to a discussion of state-level reforms and effective regional planning.
This book makes available in one place a substantive discussion of various economic policy issues for students of public finance, industrialists, journalists, policy-makers and all those interested in the outcome of the current reforms programme.
