What is fiscal deficit in simple words?
Fiscal deficit is the gap between what the government spends and what it earns (excluding borrowings) in a year, expressed as a percentage of GDP. India's Budget sets a fiscal deficit target each year, and the number is a frequent exam question, which the five-minute video explains with the latest figure.
What is the difference between GDP and GNP?
GDP is the value of everything produced within India's borders, regardless of who produces it; GNP adds income earned by Indians abroad and subtracts income earned by foreigners in India. The What is GDP video explains both with examples.
What does a rate cut mean?
A rate cut means the RBI lowers the repo rate, the rate at which it lends to banks, which makes loans cheaper and encourages spending. The video explains repo and reverse repo rates and why exams ask the current repo rate.
