New Delhi: A day before the Budget, Finance Minister P Chidambaram will table the Economic Survey 2012-13 in Parliament on Wednesday. The main focus of the survey is likely to be on accelerating economic growth. The Central Statistical Organisation estimates project a 5 per cent growth this year, which is the lowest in a decade. Prepared by a team of economists, led by Chief Economic Advisor Raghuram Rajan, the Survey is likely to suggest a series of steps to arrest the declining GDP growth.
