High GDP growth, inclusive development to be key challenges: Finance Minister


New Delhi, July 6
Presenting the General Budget 2009-10 in Lok Sabha today, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said
that the Government has clearly recognized and identified the challenges to boost Indian economy
specially at a time when the world is still struggling with an unprecedented financial crisis and an
economic slowdown.
Elaborating on challenges, the Minister pointed out that the first challenge is to lead the economy
back to the high GDP growth rate of nine percent per annum at the earliest.
"Growth of income is important in itself, but it is as important for the resources that it brings in.
These resources provide us with the means to bridge the critical gaps that remain in our development
efforts, particularly with regard to the welfare of the vulnerable segments of our population," he
added.
