18-20 Billion CAD for a 314.6 Billion GDP in 2018 apparently appears better than 10-15 Billion CAD for a 280 Billion GDP in 2021!
In economics, CAD should not exist in ideal conditions or should be maintainable with other sources if the exports are not sufficient (FDI, Remittances etc.). However, even if CAD is maintainable with additional debt in a growing economy where purchasing power and loan servicing grows stronger every year, the is no cause for concern.
The only cause for concern is when Rupee is allowed to "free float" to 170, economy shrink's, exports not registering the true potential of the country, foreign debt continues to pile on at an unprecedented rate, circular debt gets out of control, real inflation in 3 years climbs over 60%-70% (electricity, gas, medicine, flour, milk, oil, vegetables and fruit, pulses, transport etc.) and still people continue the same old rhetoric that this is because of the doings of the previous Government!
