GVA VS GDP
- These are the 2 ways through which CSO estimates economic growth.
- GVA is the calculation from SUPLLY side.
- Whereas the GDP calculation is from the DEMAND side.
IMPACT OF TAX RATE CUT
- First, It increases the profitability of companies in India, leaving them with extra cash to invest.
- Second (very important) it creates a feel-good sentiment.
- Hence the tax cut in corporate sector will certainly help the Supply Side problem.
BUT SOME QUESTION ALSO ARISES?
- Whether corporates choose to utilise the surplus earnings for
- Reinvestment in business or High shareholder returns.
WHAT ABOUT DEMAND SIDE PROBLEM?
- All the measures taken in last one month does not address the immediate problems of demand revival.
- AD = C + I + G + Nx
WHAT MORE COULD BE DONE?
- Higher infrastructure spending, which has a better multiplier effect.
- Or a sharp cut in indirect taxes, which gives even the last person on the queue the benefit of lower prices. (Diwali)
- Capital is one of the three main factors of production, which are critical to the growth of a commercial entity, the other two being land and labour.
- But capital is only a necessary, not sufficient, condition.
CONCLUSION
- The recent measures will certainly help companies deleverage their books.
- If companies are able to increase output & provide more jobs, then it will also address the demand side issues.
