Budget to focus on infrastructure, rural sectors, says Arun Jaitley

The infrastructure and rural sectors will be the focus areas in the next Union Budget, which will be unveiled on February 1, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Thursday. Speaking at an event in the national capital, Jaitley said the government would “concentrate on additional spending” in the two areas.
 
In another event, he said improved macroeconomic fundamentals had placed India on the growth trajectory of 7-8 per cent and the country would have to invest heavily in infrastructure over the next two decades to graduate into a middle-income economy.
