A Finance Ministry statement said the the theme of the survey is about enabling a shifting of gears towards sustained economic growth for objective of USD 5 trillion by 2024-25.
According to the survey, India’s real GDP will have to grow consistently at 8 per cent to achieve the target of USD 5 trillion economy by 2024-25.
The survey said that international experience, especially from high-growth East Asian economies, suggests that such growth can only be sustained by a ‘virtuous cycle’ of savings, investment and exports catalysed and supported by a favourable demographic phase.
Investment, especially private investment, is the ‘key driver’ that drives demand, creates capacity, increases labour productivity, introduces new technology, allows creative destruction and generates jobs, it added.
