Lauding Centre for its efforts to boost investor confidence, Tamil Nadu CM O Panneerselvam on Friday said the NDA government ‘has to continue its thrust on private investments besides focusing on public investments’ and hoped to see steps in this regard in the Union Budget 2015-16.

The CM appreciated the efforts taken by the Central Government to instill confidence in both domestic and foreign investors and to attract investments to propel economic growth. “However, looking at the mid-term economic analysis 2014-2015, the Central Government has to continue its thrust on private investments, besides focusing on public investments in order to kick start the economic cycle.” he said.
