Question 4 of 5
4. Question
In budget documents, the term ‘fiscal prudence’ is often mentioned. What does it imply?
- Introducing new government initiatives with borrowed receipts.
- Government borrowing from the market to meet the shortfall
- Reducing debt to GDP ratio of the country
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: d)
In simple words, fiscal prudence is Spending within budget.
For any economy to mature, fiscal prudence is critical. If the government continues to spend way more than its revenues, it will either have to print more currency or borrow from the market to meet the shortfall. Printing currency will fuel inflation and, at times, hyper-inflation.
In a bid to avoid these scenarios and mandate fiscal prudence, the Government of India passed the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act in 2003. Its objective was to institutionalise fiscal prudence and reduce the country’s fiscal deficit in such a manner that it gradually moves towards balancing the Budget.
