<h1>India's 2023 Economic Focus: Growth, Sustainable Finance, and Infrastructure Development Initiatives.</h1> In 2023, the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) in India focused on economic growth, sustainable finance, and infrastructure development. India maintained its status as one of the fastest-growing economies, with significant GDP growth. The government emphasized a capex-led growth strategy, increasing capital expenditure to attract private investment. Hosting the G20 Presidency, India led discussions on global issues like crypto-assets, climate finance, and debt restructuring. Key initiatives included the issuance of Sovereign Green Bonds, the Mahila Samman Savings Certificate for women's financial inclusion, and reforms in infrastructure financing. The DEA also promoted Public-Private Partnerships and financial sector reforms, including the T+1 settlement cycle in securities markets.
