ThePrint's latest piece argues that India's progress hinges on broader economic freedom, beyond mere ease of doing business metrics.
ThePrint has released a new article titled "Look beyond ease of doing business. Economic freedom is India’s real path to Viksit Bharat." The piece contends that the country’s development trajectory depends more on comprehensive economic freedom than on the simplified metrics of ease of doing business.
The author points out that while ease of doing business rankings provide useful snapshots, they often overlook deeper structural factors such as property rights protection, tax policy clarity, and the overall regulatory environment. These elements, the article argues, are essential for fostering sustained growth and attracting investment.
Emphasizing the need for a holistic approach, the article suggests that policymakers should focus on strengthening legal frameworks, reducing bureaucratic red tape, and ensuring transparent tax administration. Such reforms, it claims, will create a more resilient and inclusive economy.
In conclusion, the piece urges stakeholders to broaden their perspective and prioritize economic freedom as the cornerstone for achieving a truly developed India, or Viksit Bharat.
