The latest OECD Economic Survey of
India, to be published on Tuesday 28
February, analyses the factors behind the country’s
strong economic expansion, as well as steps that can be taken to
ensure stronger and more inclusive growth in the future. The
Survey discusses how comprehensive tax reform could help raise
revenue to finance much-needed social and physical infrastructure
while boosting investment. It also assesses necessary steps
toward achieving strong and balanced regional development across
India.
The Survey will be available to registered journalists on the
OECD's password-protected website at 5:30 GMT for immediate
release. Create your MyOECD account here.
OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría will
present the Survey in Delhi with India’s Secretary
Economic Affairs Shaktikanta Das, during a press
conference starting at 11:00 local
time at The Lalit Hotel (Barakhamba Avenue,
Connaught Place, New Delhi).
An Overview of the Economic Survey, with the main conclusions,
will be freely accessible on the OECD’s web site
