What to watch in Economic Survey
The Economic Survey usually covers the GDP growth trends, inflation and monetary policy, fiscal position, performance of the external sector (exports, imports, forex), social indicators such as employment, health, education, and other special chapters on emerging themes.
Market participants will watch out for the Survey’s commentary on global risks, fiscal consolidation, and sectoral trends as these influence equity, bond, and currency sentiment. While not policy-binding, the Survey often sets the narrative framework within which the Budget and future economic decisions are made.
