&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The budget to be presented on 1 February may be the last full budget of the Narendra Modi government unless it uses the opportunity to revive the economy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The budget to be presented on 1 February will be the last full budget of this government. The budget in 2019 will only be a vote-on-account. But whether this will be the last full budget of the Narendra Modi government will depend on the outcome of the elections to be held in 2019. It is in this context that this budget holds importance not just for the economy but also for the political fortunes of this government, both of which will depend on the contours of the budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The contours of the budget are more or less known given the stress in the economy and the political exigencies of this being a pre-election budget. It will certainly be a budget keeping the electorate in mind; but whether it will also be a budget that can revive the economy is a question that can be answered only after the budget&amp;rsquo;s presentation. And it is the second which will matter more in the long run, irrespective of the electoral outcomes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Things are certainly not good as far as the economy is concerned. The stress in the rural economy has only worsened with growth in rural wages slowing after a brief spurt last year. Between May 2014 and October 2017 real wages of agricultural labourers grew annually by 0.67% per year. Real wages of non-agricultural labourers declined by 0.24% per year during the same period. The monsoon was good last year, but the unevenness of rainfall has meant that agricultural production has been hit with crop production in the kharif season likely to be lower by 2.8%. The latest crop watch by the ministry of agriculture shows a severe shortfall in winter rains with reservoir levels much lower than last year. Rabi sowing is down by 0.9% with wheat sowing down by 4.7% and oilseeds sowing down by 3.7%. The only crop group which shows growth in acreage is pulses, led by grams, with all other pulse crops showing stagnant or lower acreage. Clearly, the situation in agriculture is likely to worsen or at the least will not improve in the rabi season. That means the distress in agriculture is likely to continue for some more time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the government is also left with little room to manoeuvre. The fiscal situation is fragile with the government already having spent more than its fiscal deficit target. Given that inflation is on the rise and is likely to be in the near- to medium-term, the worry on the fiscal situation will weigh heavily on the mind of the finance minister. Further, the rise in petroleum prices and the worsening of the current account deficit will also put pressure on the exchange rate. With exports already sluggish and imports rising, the external situation is unlikely to boost the economy. The domestic economy may be showing signs of recovery but concerns on private investment and excess supply suggest that the recovery, if any, is likely to be slow and painful. All in all, the situation is no better than when this government took over.&lt;br /&gt;

The budget in 2019 will only be a vote-on-account. But whether this will be the last full budget of the Narendra Modi government will depend on the outcome of the elections to be held in 2019. It is in this context that this budget holds importance not just for the economy but also for the political fortunes of this government, both of which will depend on the contours of the budget.<br /><br />The contours of the budget are more or less known given the stress in the economy and the political exigencies of this being a pre-election budget. It will certainly be a budget keeping the electorate in mind; but whether it will also be a budget that can revive the economy is a question that can be answered only after the budget&rsquo;s presentation. And it is the second which will matter more in the long run, irrespective of the electoral outcomes.<br /><br />Things are certainly not good as far as the economy is concerned. The stress in the rural economy has only worsened with growth in rural wages slowing after a brief spurt last year. Between May 2014 and October 2017 real wages of agricultural labourers grew annually by 0.67% per year. Real wages of non-agricultural labourers declined by 0.24% per year during the same period. The monsoon was good last year, but the unevenness of rainfall has meant that agricultural production has been hit with crop production in the kharif season likely to be lower by 2.8%. The latest crop watch by the ministry of agriculture shows a severe shortfall in winter rains with reservoir levels much lower than last year. Rabi sowing is down by 0.9% with wheat sowing down by 4.7% and oilseeds sowing down by 3.7%. The only crop group which shows growth in acreage is pulses, led by grams, with all other pulse crops showing stagnant or lower acreage. Clearly, the situation in agriculture is likely to worsen or at the least will not improve in the rabi season. That means the distress in agriculture is likely to continue for some more time.<br /><br />But the government is also left with little room to manoeuvre. The fiscal situation is fragile with the government already having spent more than its fiscal deficit target. Given that inflation is on the rise and is likely to be in the near- to medium-term, the worry on the fiscal situation will weigh heavily on the mind of the finance minister. Further, the rise in petroleum prices and the worsening of the current account deficit will also put pressure on the exchange rate. With exports already sluggish and imports rising, the external situation is unlikely to boost the economy. The domestic economy may be showing signs of recovery but concerns on private investment and excess supply suggest that the recovery, if any, is likely to be slow and painful. All in all, the situation is no better than when this government took over.<br /><br />Please <a href="http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/aNm8erj4UdaayJFw75RrxJ/The-last-budget-of-Modi-government.html" title="http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/aNm8erj4UdaayJFw75RrxJ/The-last-budget-of-Modi-government.html">click here</a> to read more. <br /><br /></div>               </font>

The only crop group which shows growth in acreage is pulses, led by grams, with all other pulse crops showing stagnant or lower acreage. Clearly, the situation in agriculture is likely to worsen or at the least will not improve in the rabi season. That means the distress in agriculture is likely to continue for some more time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the government is also left with little room to manoeuvre. The fiscal situation is fragile with the government already having spent more than its fiscal deficit target. Given that inflation is on the rise and is likely to be in the near- to medium-term, the worry on the fiscal situation will weigh heavily on the mind of the finance minister. Further, the rise in petroleum prices and the worsening of the current account deficit will also put pressure on the exchange rate. With exports already sluggish and imports rising, the external situation is unlikely to boost the economy. The domestic economy may be showing signs of recovery but concerns on private investment and excess supply suggest that the recovery, if any, is likely to be slow and painful. All in all, the situation is no better than when this government took over.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The budget to be presented on 1 February may be the last full budget of the Narendra Modi government unless it uses the opportunity to revive the economy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The budget to be presented on 1 February will be the last full budget of this government. The budget in 2019 will only be a vote-on-account. But whether this will be the last full budget of the Narendra Modi government will depend on the outcome of the elections to be held in 2019. It is in this context that this budget holds importance not just for the economy but also for the political fortunes of this government, both of which will depend on the contours of the budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The contours of the budget are more or less known given the stress in the economy and the political exigencies of this being a pre-election budget. It will certainly be a budget keeping the electorate in mind; but whether it will also be a budget that can revive the economy is a question that can be answered only after the budget&amp;rsquo;s presentation. And it is the second which will matter more in the long run, irrespective of the electoral outcomes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Things are certainly not good as far as the economy is concerned. The stress in the rural economy has only worsened with growth in rural wages slowing after a brief spurt last year. Between May 2014 and October 2017 real wages of agricultural labourers grew annually by 0.67% per year. Real wages of non-agricultural labourers declined by 0.24% per year during the same period. The monsoon was good last year, but the unevenness of rainfall has meant that agricultural production has been hit with crop production in the kharif season likely to be lower by 2.8%. The latest crop watch by the ministry of agriculture shows a severe shortfall in winter rains with reservoir levels much lower than last year. Rabi sowing is down by 0.9% with wheat sowing down by 4.7% and oilseeds sowing down by 3.7%. The only crop group which shows growth in acreage is pulses, led by grams, with all other pulse crops showing stagnant or lower acreage. Clearly, the situation in agriculture is likely to worsen or at the least will not improve in the rabi season. That means the distress in agriculture is likely to continue for some more time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the government is also left with little room to manoeuvre. The fiscal situation is fragile with the government already having spent more than its fiscal deficit target. Given that inflation is on the rise and is likely to be in the near- to medium-term, the worry on the fiscal situation will weigh heavily on the mind of the finance minister. Further, the rise in petroleum prices and the worsening of the current account deficit will also put pressure on the exchange rate. With exports already sluggish and imports rising, the external situation is unlikely to boost the economy. The domestic economy may be showing signs of recovery but concerns on private investment and excess supply suggest that the recovery, if any, is likely to be slow and painful.

The budget in 2019 will only be a vote-on-account. But whether this will be the last full budget of the Narendra Modi government will depend on the outcome of the elections to be held in 2019. It is in this context that this budget holds importance not just for the economy but also for the political fortunes of this government, both of which will depend on the contours of the budget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The contours of the budget are more or less known given the stress in the economy and the political exigencies of this being a pre-election budget. It will certainly be a budget keeping the electorate in mind; but whether it will also be a budget that can revive the economy is a question that can be answered only after the budget&amp;rsquo;s presentation. And it is the second which will matter more in the long run, irrespective of the electoral outcomes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things are certainly not good as far as the economy is concerned. The stress in the rural economy has only worsened with growth in rural wages slowing after a brief spurt last year. Between May 2014 and October 2017 real wages of agricultural labourers grew annually by 0.67% per year. Real wages of non-agricultural labourers declined by 0.24% per year during the same period. The monsoon was good last year, but the unevenness of rainfall has meant that agricultural production has been hit with crop production in the kharif season likely to be lower by 2.8%. The latest crop watch by the ministry of agriculture shows a severe shortfall in winter rains with reservoir levels much lower than last year. Rabi sowing is down by 0.9% with wheat sowing down by 4.7% and oilseeds sowing down by 3.7%. The only crop group which shows growth in acreage is pulses, led by grams, with all other pulse crops showing stagnant or lower acreage. Clearly, the situation in agriculture is likely to worsen or at the least will not improve in the rabi season. That means the distress in agriculture is likely to continue for some more time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the government is also left with little room to manoeuvre. The fiscal situation is fragile with the government already having spent more than its fiscal deficit target. Given that inflation is on the rise and is likely to be in the near- to medium-term, the worry on the fiscal situation will weigh heavily on the mind of the finance minister. Further, the rise in petroleum prices and the worsening of the current account deficit will also put pressure on the exchange rate. With exports already sluggish and imports rising, the external situation is unlikely to boost the economy. The domestic economy may be showing signs of recovery but concerns on private investment and excess supply suggest that the recovery, if any, is likely to be slow and painful. All in all, the situation is no better than when this government took over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/aNm8erj4UdaayJFw75RrxJ/The-last-budget-of-Modi-government.html&quot; title=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/aNm8erj4UdaayJFw75RrxJ/The-last-budget-of-Modi-government.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;,

The budget to be presented on 1 February will be the last full budget of this government. The budget in 2019 will only be a vote-on-account.

It will certainly be a budget keeping the electorate in mind; but whether it will also be a budget that can revive the economy is a question that can be answered only after the budget&amp;rsquo;s presentation.

<em>The budget to be presented on 1 February may be the last full budget of the Narendra Modi government unless it uses the opportunity to revive the economy<br />
</em><br />
The budget to be presented on 1 February will be the last full budget of this government. The budget in 2019 will only be a vote-on-account. But whether this will be the last full budget of the Narendra Modi government will depend on the outcome of the elections to be held in 2019. It is in this context that this budget holds importance not just for the economy but also for the political fortunes of this government, both of which will depend on the contours of the budget.<br />
<br />
The contours of the budget are more or less known given the stress in the economy and the political exigencies of this being a pre-election budget. It will certainly be a budget keeping the electorate in mind; but whether it will also be a budget that can revive the economy is a question that can be answered only after the budget&rsquo;s presentation. And it is the second which will matter more in the long run, irrespective of the electoral outcomes.<br />
<br />
Things are certainly not good as far as the economy is concerned. The stress in the rural economy has only worsened with growth in rural wages slowing after a brief spurt last year. Between May 2014 and October 2017 real wages of agricultural labourers grew annually by 0.67% per year. Real wages of non-agricultural labourers declined by 0.24% per year during the same period. The monsoon was good last year, but the unevenness of rainfall has meant that agricultural production has been hit with crop production in the kharif season likely to be lower by 2.8%. The latest crop watch by the ministry of agriculture shows a severe shortfall in winter rains with reservoir levels much lower than last year. Rabi sowing is down by 0.9% with wheat sowing down by 4.7% and oilseeds sowing down by 3.7%. The only crop group which shows growth in acreage is pulses, led by grams, with all other pulse crops showing stagnant or lower acreage. Clearly, the situation in agriculture is likely to worsen or at the least will not improve in the rabi season. That means the distress in agriculture is likely to continue for some more time.<br />
<br />
But the government is also left with little room to manoeuvre. The fiscal situation is fragile with the government already having spent more than its fiscal deficit target. Given that inflation is on the rise and is likely to be in the near- to medium-term, the worry on the fiscal situation will weigh heavily on the mind of the finance minister. Further, the rise in petroleum prices and the worsening of the current account deficit will also put pressure on the exchange rate. With exports already sluggish and imports rising, the external situation is unlikely to boost the economy. The domestic economy may be showing signs of recovery but concerns on private investment and excess supply suggest that the recovery, if any, is likely to be slow and painful. All in all, the situation is no better than when this government took over.<br />
