The finance ministry on Monday mentioned senior Singaporean minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam will ship the primary Arun Jaitley Memorial Lecture on “growth and inclusivity” on July 8, which will probably be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The lecture is being instituted in recognition of the previous finance minister’s function in nation-building, financial affairs secretary Ajay Seth mentioned. Jaitley was on the helm of the finance ministry between 2014 and 2019. During this era, two of the nation’s landmark financial legal guidelines have been promulgated — the GST and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. Similarly, throughout this era, the federal government introduced unprecedented capital infusion into state-run banks to nursing them again into well being.
This will probably be adopted by the Kautilya Economic Conclave, which is being organised by the division of financial affairs in affiliation with the Institute of Economic Growth (IEG) between July 8 and July 10. Both the memorial lecture and the conclave will probably be annual occasions.
Delegates from 21 nations, together with Robert Lawrence, professor of worldwide commerce and funding, Harvard Kennedy School; Nicholas Stern of the London School of Economics; and Martin Wolf, affiliate editor of the Financial Times will attend the occasion. RBI governor Shaktikanta Das and former NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant may also attend the conclave that will probably be inaugurated by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
