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.
