Addressing the Kautilya Economic Conclave, conceived by the Ministry of Finance and organized by the Institute of Economic Growth (IEG), in the national capital, FM Sitharaman said another advantage that the country has is its demographic dividend as nearly 43 percent of the population is under 24 years old, which is a key driver for organic consumption growth.

“India finds itself amid the global geopolitical repositioning effort which has been going on. This repositioning can act as a structural force to India’s advantage by creating robust supply chains with countries with strategic congruence, she added.
