What is an Economic Survey?

The Economic Survey is an official assessment of the economy's performance in the current financial year. It also outlines the country's current challenges and provides a roadmap for reforms and growth.

The Economic Survey is prepared by a team led by Chief Economic Adviser of India, V Anantha Nageswaran.

The document, released before the Union Budget, highlights key trends in the economy and various sectors, such as agriculture, industry, and services, and provides a forecast for the upcoming financial year.

The report is expected to assess key developments, such as slowing growth, subdued consumption demand, and the declining value of the rupee against the US dollar.

The Economic Survey will also provide a detailed assessment of GDP growth, agricultural and industrial output, inflation trends, and employment levels.
