alishasajeesh: privatisation:Another important feature of New Economic Policy is the promotion of the policy of privatisation. Here the word privatisation means introduction of private ownership in publicly owned and managed enterprises and also signifies introduction of private control and management in public sector enterprises. Under the policy of economic reforms private sector has been allowed to play a major role in respect of economic activities.
alishasajeesh: 3)By the term globalisation we mean opening up of the economy for world market by attaining international competitiveness. Thus the globalisation of the economy simply indicates interaction of the country relating to production, trading and financial transactions with the developed industrialised countries of the world.

Globalisation of the economy offers both challenges and opportunities to the developing countries.

alishasajeesh: 5)The New Economic Policy has been providing high priority to the introduction of modern techniques in production system. The policy facilitates the growth of sunrise industries, i.e. electronics and computers. In order to introduce better and improved technology, the government is permitting all foreign collaboration proposals related to the import of high technology.

alishasajeesh: 7)Another important feature of New Economic Policy is to introduce fiscal policy reforms. The Government initiated various fiscal measures in order to reduce the fiscal deficit from 8.4 per cent of GDP in 1990-91 to 5.0 per cent in 1996-97 and then to 4.4 per cent in 1999- 2000.
