<h1>Kerala Assembly Budget Session Begins Amid Liquidity Stress; Focus on Revenue, Expenses, and Disaster Resilience Initiatives.</h1> The Kerala assembly's budget session began with the Governor addressing the state's liquidity stress due to reduced union fiscal transfers. The Governor noted that despite efforts to boost revenue and cut expenses, financial pressures persist due to decreased revenue deficit grants and the end of GST compensation. The state has communicated these issues to the 16th Finance Commission. Additionally, the government is focused on rehabilitating those affected by landslides in Wayanad and aims to build a disaster-resilient Kerala. The session will run for 27 days, with the budget presentation scheduled for February 7.
