Fiscal deficit will fall to 3% in two years; FY20 GDP growth pegged at 7.5%: Subhash Chandra Garg
Q: The fiscal deficit target for 2019-20 continues to remain the same as this year at 3.4 percent of GDP. How do you plan how to avoid fiscal slippage, considering the expenditure on farm income support plan? How do you plan to reach fiscal deficit of 3 percent in 2020-21, since the income support is not restricted to the next financial year?Garg: Meeting the fiscal deficit target 3 percent of GDP in 2020-21 is a statutory obligation. The FRBM (Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management) Act specifies that the government should bring the fiscal deficit down to 3 percent by 2020-21. This year, there is no slippage in my judgement. If you take two digits, fiscal deficit is going from 3.34 percent to 3.36 percent. That is minor. When we are going through the entire year, we might end up at 3.3 percent (in 2018-19).

Marissa Mayer’s new project is a suite of timesaving apps
Marissa Mayer is back where she began: 165 University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto—the office space where, as a newly minted Stanford graduate, in 1999, she became one of the first people to work at a tiny startup called Google. Mayer went on to spend 13 years at the company, helping to shape its key services, before leaving to become CEO of Yahoo, a gig that ended in 2017 when the web pioneer sold itself to Verizon. advertisement Now Google’s onetime quarters are home to Lumi Labs, the 15-person startup Mayer cofounded in 2018 with longtime colleague Enrique Munoz Torres to develop smartphone apps that help people “save a few minutes every day,” she tells me.
