Overview of the State Economy : 1.1 The size, composition and growth of the economy determine the revenue potential of the State and the size of the budget; and the size of the budget determines the level of public expenditure. The economy is measured in terms of Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) at current prices.

Overview of State Government Finances: 2.1 The fiscal base and fiscal health of a State are directly related to the development of the State. Public Investment in the infrastructure would expand the productive capacity of the economy and thus expand the revenue generating potential of the State. The fiscal base is determined by the size of the economy, which can be expanded in the long run. Thus, in the medium term, the fiscal health of the State has to be improved so that the Government can increase the development expenditure to expand the economic base. 2.2 The total receipts of the Government comprise the Consolidated Fund of the State and the balance from Public Account. The proportion of the revenue receipts in the Consolidated Fund of Nagaland during the years 2013-14 to 2019-20 has been varying between 87.24% and 95.19% (Table 1.2 below).

The Central tax devolution is determined by the Finance Commission Award. The Fourteenth Finance Commission (14FC) awarded 0.498% of sharable tax excluding service tax and 0.503% of the sharable service tax to Nagaland. Fifteenth Finance Commission recommended shareable central taxes at 0.573% for 2020-21 and 0.569% for 2021-22 to 2025-26 for the State. During the years 2015-16 to 2019-20, proportion of State’s Own Revenue Receipts (SORR) in Total Revenue Receipts varied between 8.50% to 11.36% (Table 1.3).

Thus the size, composition and productivity of public expenditure are important parameters to assess the effectiveness of public expenditure in accelerating growth impulses of the economy. The basic categorization of public expenditure is Development and Non-Development. 2.6 Development expenditure has grown at average annual rate of 13.08% whereas Non- Development expenditure has grown at average annual rate of 13.94% as shown in Table 1.6.
