Mid-year economic review set to make a comeback, maybe out in December

The review will not only present data, trends but also list out the achievements of the Narendra Modi government

Two years after scrapping it, the government is planning to bring back the mid-year economic review.

Preparing and presenting this document will be one of the first tasks given to the new chief economic advisor, whose appointment could be finalised by the end of this month.  That is around the time incumbent Arvind Subramanian demits office.

The 2018-19 mid-year economic review, if prepared, will be likely released in December or January, ahead of the 2019-20 interim Budget in early February, Business Standard has learnt from senior government sources, who added that the 2018-19 Economic Survey will likely be released before the post-election
