This year’s Union Budget is the final full budget of the Modi government’s second term in office. It comes as India holds the G20 Presidency; the country is enjoying a dramatic lull in COVID-19 cases; and global manufacturers are undertaking a generational adaption in their supply chains. India has much to gain—if the nation’s economic steps can trigger growth. But India has ten state elections this year and a looming national election. Related political pressures can force governments to prioritize subsidies and other programs that target key voting constituencies.The Wadhwani Chair in U.S.-India Policy Studies at the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS), is pleased to host our annual event featuring key leaders from rating agencies to provide insights into economic trends that will impact India’s economic trajectory. Join us, as we speak with Christian de Guzman from Moody’s Sovereign Ratings, Joydeep Mukherji from S&P Global Ratings, and Stephanie Segal from the CSIS Economics Program. The discussion will be moderated by the Wadhwani Chair in U.S.-India Policy, and Senior Adviser, Richard Rossow.This event has been made possible through the generous support of the Wadhwani Foundation.———————————————A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
