WASHINGTON: The Union Budget presented by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman is a very "thoughtful" policy agenda for India and puts a great deal of emphasis on innovation in research and development on human capital investment and digitalisation, managing director of IMF Kristalina Georgieva has said.
Finance minister Sitharaman unveiled a Rs 39.45 lakh crore Budget on Tuesday, with higher spending on highways to affordable housing with a view to fire up the key engines of the economy to sustain a world-beating recovery from the pandemic.
