## ANSWER

## MINISTE,R  OF STATE tl\ THE MII{ISTRY  OF FINANCE SHRI JAYAI\T SINHA

- a) Yes Madam.
- b) Moody's Investor Service  has released a report titled "Inside India" on 30th June 2015. The Report, on the basis of an audience poll of 141 participants  of the first annual Moody's and ICRA Credit Rating Conference held in Mumbai in May 2015, stated that "almost half our audience believing that sluggish reform momentum represents  the greatest risk to India's macroeconomic  story going forward".

On the rural economy, the Report says that "India's rural economy has weakened considerably  in recent quarters on the back of slower  income growth, and we expect  rural demand  to remain subdued  throughout  the fisial year ending March 2016 (FY20l6), particularly  if the risk of below-average  monsoon rainfall materializes. A sustained  soft patch for India's rural economy would weigh on private consumption and nonperforming assets in the agriculture sector,  a credit negative for the sovereign and banks."

However,  the Report also states that India's policies like Make in India; increased  FDI in defense,  railways  and insurance;  Inflation targeting framework;  expenditure  management reforms  are all positives reforms and the positive impact of these reforms is only likely to take fu1l effect over a multi-year  horizon.

- (c) TheGovernment has undertaken several measures aimed at achieving macroeconomic stability and growth in India. Emphasis has been laid on controlling inflation  and fiscal deficit as well as significantly augmenting public  investment  in infrastructure  with an aim to revive the investment  cycle.
