This is primarily because of the very high effective interest rate on government borrowings. This can be reduced by changing the composition of the ownership of the government securities in the country. This is important for ensuring larger fiscal space for enhancing public spending on the social sector and capital expenditures. Developmental expenditures may be prioritised over ensuring an assured return of 7% to the domestic capital market in India.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/14/budget-2026-27/union-budget-2026-27.html  aEconomic & Political Weekly  cAR 00102ddc40709408392aIIPAbIIPAd2026-04-30h61(14), Apr 4, 2026: p.57-61pAR138733r2026-04-30yAR
