Keeping the impact of demonetization as the focal theme of its programming for Budget 2017, CNBC-TV18 has an impressive line-up of special shows in the offing. In a bid to gather the overall sentiment from the most significant regions across the nation at ground level, CNBC-TV18, through its special show Budget Caravan, is travelling on the road through various growth cities of the country in order to get a sense of what the ‘big want’ or ‘the need of the hour’ is. Given the inherent importance of a one of a kind post-demonetization Budget, several crucial questions remain unanswered.
Apart from shows that connect with the main theme of their Budget programming this year, CNBC-TV18 will also air special shows that look at the macro picture of Budget 2017. Given the impact of the government’s biggest economic experiment till date, an aptly titled co-branded show anchored by Shereen Bhan called the CNBC TV18 – BMR Advisors Big Budget Picture, will see two BMR spokespersons joined by three CEOs from different verticals to discuss their expectations for, and wish list from Budget 2017, post demonetization.

Lastly, putting the most important stakeholder in the hot seat, CNBC-TV18 is encouraging citizens to step into the shoes of the Finance Minister in a unique show titled If I Were Finance Minister, where they get the opportunity to voice one key decision or issue they would focus on if they were presenting the Budget this year.
