<h1>Economic Survey 2019-20: Industrial Growth Slows; Urgent Sectoral Initiatives Needed for India's $5 Trillion Economy Goal.</h1> The Economic Survey 2019-20, presented by the Finance Minister, highlights the industrial sector's crucial role in achieving India's USD five trillion economy target. Despite improved Gross Value Added in 2018-19, the industrial sector's growth slowed to 1.6% in the first half of 2019-20, primarily due to a decline in manufacturing. Factors such as reduced credit flow, liquidity issues, and weakened domestic demand, especially in the automotive sector, contributed to this slowdown. The survey emphasizes the need for sectoral initiatives to revive industrial growth, with a focus on enhancing credit flow and addressing demand challenges in key sectors.
