Mr President, the Proposals in the Panel report are viewed to be critical in creating an enabling environment for higher rate of investment and more productive use of domestic investments. The Panel’s view is that swift action for policy certainty is key. with improved governance, anti-corruption and transparency. Prioritizing State capability and skills development across the board is important. The proposed shifts in property structure and land acquisition strategies opens possibilities for inclusive development and maximizes opportunities for a diversified industrial base. This accommodates new players and encourages more labour-absorbing activities with empowerment of women, youth and people with disabilities.
Most importantly, the proposals in this Report push for planning approaches as emphasized in the National Development Plan that enhance rural urban linkages, and a space economy that integrates living and work critical for inclusive growth.
