Red Book

[A] It would encourage the government to tighten monetary policy

[B] It would allow the government to increase public spending

[C] It would force the government to cut taxes immediately

[D] It would reduce the need for foreign direct investment

Answer: B
Notes:

Explanation – An upward revision in GDP growth projections generally indicates a stronger economic outlook. This can lead to increased government revenues through higher tax collections due to improved economic activity. With more resources at its disposal, the government may have greater flexibility to increase public spending on infrastructure, social programs, and other development initiatives without significantly affecting fiscal deficits. This approach can further stimulate economic growth and support long-term development goals.
