KIIFB and State fiscal responsibility
Quick dive
- An expert committee found no case for continuing KIIFB as a body that raises funds and finances projects in its original form.
- Its original rationale was to raise capital without using Kerala’s borrowing space, but the report says that separation has been extinguished.
- The committee warned of a significant detrimental impact on Kerala’s future fiscal trajectory.
- It recommended a CAG or Accountant General performance audit covering KIIFB from 2016-17 to 2025-26.
