Ganesh Ayyar
CEO

Would like to see continued commitment to improved infrastructure and take more steps forward to unify regions.

Sajjid Z Chinoy
Economist (Asia)

2017 was a year of valour � big reforms like GST, Bankruptcy Law, & Bank recapitalisation. So 2018 should be year of consolidation and the Budget has to send that signal that we have to consolidate the gains made last year.

Neelkanth Mishra
Head of Equity Strategy India

Budget is likely to be a non-event as it has been in the past. It is just an arithmetic exercise.

Nirmal Jain
Chairman

Long-term capital gain (LTCG) tax will be taken in stride and will not have much impact.

The macro picture is fast deteriorating � at least it is not as attractive as it was back in the year 2016-2017. Do you think the hope-based rally could push the index towards record highs?

With the economy on a recovery path, any acceleration on spending will give a further boost. So, market is bound to focus on what the government expenditure will be for FY18.

C Rangarajan
Ex-chairman

Unless the government ensures that the FY19 fiscal deficit of 3.3 percent is maintained, I think the credibility about the fiscal deficit numbers will go down.

Hasmukh Adhia
Secretary, Financial Services

With regards to LTCG tax, there is no reason to exclude a large chunk of income earned by people of about Rs 3.67 lakh crore in the last year out of the tax net.

The Budget could tell us about the political timing as opposed to give us guidance on which sectors to be overweight or underweight on.

If long-term capital gain tax is imposed it would hurt sentiment of all market participants.

The entire amount of gains that we all have made in the last Bull Run is all safeguarded with zero tax, it has been a great relief to that extent.
