New Delhi: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Tuesday exuded confidence that the government will achieve the fiscal deficit target of 3.9 percent in the current financial year.

"I have consciously kept this year a very modest target of 3.9 percent. I think the manner in which tax revenues and expenditure are moving, I don't think this will be difficult to meet," Jaitley said here at the five-day India-Africa Forum Summit (IAFS) which commenced here on Monday.
