Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that the country's growth will be driven by fiscal spending. Participating online at the second meeting of BRICS Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (FMCBG) chaired by China, he said that BRICS needs to engage in dialogue and exchange experiences, concerns, and ideas for sustainable and inclusive reconstruction. The facility should continue to serve as a platform.
Government hikes capital expenditure

The Finance Minister said that the growth of the economy is supported by investment incentives along with fiscal spending. The government proposes to significantly boost public investment by raising capital expenditure by 35.4 percent to Rs 7.5 lakh crore or 2.9 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the current fiscal. Apart from this, BRICS Finance Ministers and Governors of Central Banks also discussed financial issues like Infrastructure Investment, New Development Bank, and BRICS Contingency Reserve Arrangement (CRA).
