<h1>Goa Seeks Additional Funds from Finance Commission Amid Economic Slowdown and Power Sector Challenges.</h1> The Fifteenth Finance Commission met with Goa's government officials to discuss the state's economic and fiscal status. Goa, with a population of 1.459 million, has the highest GDP per capita in India and a significant urban population. Despite strong social indicators and tax revenue, Goa faces challenges like slower tax revenue growth and economic slowdown. The Commission noted issues in capital expenditure, power sector losses, and local governance. Goa's government requested additional funds of Rs. 6,333.32 crores, emphasizing needs in waste management and tourism. The Commission will consider these issues before making recommendations to the Union Government.
