Here are key measures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Tax-GDP Ratio Enhancement:<\/strong><ul><li>Increase India&#8217;s tax-GDP ratio to at least 22% of GDP by 2022-23.<\/li><li>Sustain efforts to rationalize corporate and personal income taxes.<\/li><li>Use technology to ease tax compliance and eliminate direct interfaces between taxpayers and officials.<\/li><li>Demonetization and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) contribute positively to tax revenue efforts.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>State Revenue Mobilization:<\/strong><ul><li>States should mobilize their taxes like property tax and enhance GST administration to boost tax collections.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Savings Rate Increase:<\/strong><ul><li>Raise India&#8217;s savings rate from the current sub-30% to about 40% of GDP.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Public Investment Focus:<\/strong><ul><li>Direct higher public investment into housing and infrastructure.<\/li><li>Housing investment, especially in urban areas, creates substantial multiplier effects, generating demand, employment, and credit.<\/li><li>Infrastructure investment in roads, inland waterways, ports, airports, irrigation, and digital connectivity addresses longstanding deficiencies.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Attraction:<\/strong><ul><li>Further, liberalize FDI norms across sectors to attract more foreign investment.<\/li><li>Complement domestic savings by attracting foreign investment in bonds and government securities.<\/li><li>Relax regulatory limits for rupee-denominated debt.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Strategic Exit from CPSEs:<\/strong><ul><li>Continue to exit non-strategic Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs).<\/li><li>Inefficient CPSEs surviving on government support distort sectors; their exit attracts private investment and contributes to the exchequer.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Private Investment in Infrastructure:<\/strong><ul><li>Encourage private investment in infrastructure through renewed Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mechanisms, following recommendations from committees like the Kelkar Committee.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These measures collectively aim to create an environment conducive to higher investments, both domestic and foreign, fostering economic growth and steering India towards the ambitious goal of a five trillion-dollar economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

id=\"Q2_Why_is_investment-led_growth_crucial_for_achieving_a_Five_Trillion_Dollar_Economy\"><\/span>Q2: Why is investment-led growth crucial for achieving a Five Trillion Dollar Economy? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A2: Investment-led growth is vital because it creates a multiplier effect on economic activity, leading to increased productivity, job creation,
