PORVORIM: Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant on Monday said Goa has not resorted to Open Market Borrowings in the first quarter of the current financial year, describing it as a reflection of the State’s robust fiscal consolidation and prudent financial management.
Sawant made the remarks while chairing a Finance Review Meeting at Mantralaya in the presence of the Chief Secretary, Secretaries, Collectors and Heads of various departments.
The meeting reviewed the State’s fiscal performance for FY 2025-26 and the first quarter of the current financial year. Officials also assessed borrowings through the Open Market and NABARD, implementation of Centrally Sponsored Schemes and new Central schemes, the functioning of the Goa State CSR Authority, projects under Climate Resilient Funding and the progress of major infrastructure projects across the State.
The Chief Minister also directed officials to strengthen inter-departmental coordination, conduct regular reviews of ongoing projects and ensure 100 per cent saturation of Government of India initiatives.
He further stressed the need for efficient online delivery of public services to improve governance and citizen access to government services.
