Finance aligned with economic activity can drive inclusive growth: CEA

By Sourav Shekhar
New Delhi, Jan 13 ( UNI) When finance is aligned with real economic activities, it becomes a strong catalyst for growth rather than a mere flow of credit, Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran said on Tuesday, stressing that inclusive finance is essential for raising incomes and building a resilient economy.
Nageswaran said finance should be viewed as a complement to economic growth, supporting productive work and entrepreneurship. He noted that when financial systems are designed to match the rhythm of work, income cycles and business realities, people tend to behave more responsibly. This alignment, he said, improves repayment discipline, strengthens trust in the system and ensures that finance supports value creation.
