The government has appointed V Anantha Nageswaran as the chief economic advisor, said the finance ministry in a release short while back. Nageswaran has assumed charge today.
The post of CEA had been vacant for over one and a half month after the former CEA K Subramanian vacated the office in mid December following his decision to go back to academics post completion of the three-year tenure which ended in December 2021.
The appointment comes barely three days before the presentation of the economic survey scheduled on Monday.
“Prior to this appointment, Dr. Nageswaran has worked as a writer, author, teacher and consultant. He has taught at several business schools and institutes of management in India and in Singapore and has published extensively,” the finance ministry release said.
