Banking on the steps taken to revive the domestic economy in last seven months, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said investments are significantly going to move up in coming days.

"Government has taken a lot of steps in past few months and the mood about India is very positive. I see investments significantly moving up in days to come," he said on the sidelines of the Vibrant Gujarat Summit here.

Government priorities, he said, would be to spend more on infrastructure, incentivise expenditure in manufacturing to help boost growth and create more jobs.

He added that a common goods and services tax (GST) across the country will be implemented by next year.

The government last month introduced the GST Bill in Parliament.
