Australia’s national debt will “rise rapidly” over coming years unless the Labor government is prepared to overhaul a sclerotic tax system to boost revenue or cut spending to reflect its more constrained means, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development said.

Australia’s national debt will “rise rapidly” over coming years unless the Labor government is prepared to overhaul a sclerotic tax system to boost revenue or cut spending to reflect its more constrained means, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development said. In its annual assessment of the economy, the OECD warned that with federal and state budgets projected to be in the red for years and an aging population and prospects of an expensive climate transition, there needs to be a “greater sense of urgency” about improving Australia’s public finances. Without a fiscal adjustment, the budget deficit is forecast to swell and put the debt-to-GDP ratio on a “steep upward path,” the report said. The OECD called for increased levies on fuel and property, a higher and broader consumption tax, as well as a crackdown on outlays for Labor’s signature National Disability Insurance Scheme. Raising recurring taxes on housing would help cool home-price growth, which would ease cost of living pressures and strains on household budgets, the report said. Switching the tax burden away from direct income taxes, including by raising the goods and services tax rate from the current 10%, which is low by international standards, could also be beneficial for growth, the OECD said.

Australia’s tax system is still based on a 20th century model and fails to reach many of the faster growing areas of the economy, while lawmakers are loathe to tackle reform for fear of a voter backlash. In 2010, a previous Labor government’s efforts to introduce a mining tax to tap super profits from China’s booming demand helped bring down a first-term prime minister. Since then, little has been attempted o...

India’s growth impulses remain buoyant and demand conditions upbeat, the Reserve Bank of India said in its monthly bulletin. The Indian economy remains resilient and driven largely by domestic factors, the central bank said in its January bulletin released Wednesday. The current state of the economy “provides ground for optimism going forward,” it added. Consumption and investment remain strong despite a challenging external environment, with a resurgence in rural demand and a gradual recovery in urban demand. Comfortable foreign exchange reserves and a sustainable current account deficit continue to ensure stability in India’s external sector, the RBI said. The comments come on a day when the rupee tumbled to a record low as investors liquidated holdings in local assets. A similar outflow last month was attributed to “uncertainty surrounding the stalled India-US trade deal and the depreciation of the rupee.” India has also made “significant efforts to diversify and strengthen its exports, aiming to mitigate external sector risks,” the RBI said. The country is currently engaged in trade negotiations with 14 countries or groups representing nearly 50 nations, including the European Union, Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and the US.
