India's Government unveils budget plans

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The Indian government say growth predictions for the next year are below targets, as it looks to focus on growing its manufacturing base, and aiding the least well off. We hear from business owners and economists about the situation in the country with a year to go until the General Election. The UK has its biggest day of industrial action in over a decade, with more than half a million workers on strike. We find out what's behind the walkouts. And we speak to JP Morgan about their survey of market traders looking at the year ahead. (Picture: A man transports sacks on a rickshaw at a market in New Delhi, India, February 1, 2023.
