<h1>Fiscal monetary coordination urged to sustain growth while containing inflation and balancing exchange rate impacts.</h1> The government presented a non-inflationary budget emphasising fiscal prudence and lower projected fiscal deficits, committing to a fiscal regime that supports macro stability. The Finance Secretary called for fiscal-monetary coordination, arguing monetary easing will aid growth only if inflation is contained, and observed that currency depreciation raises imported inflation risks while improving export competitiveness; monetary policy decisions remain with the monetary authority's committee which will consider inflation, exchange rate movements, and growth factors.
