Economic Scenario: 
 
The Indian economy has maintained the growth momentum of the previous three years during 2006-07 also. The growth rate of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is likely to be higher at 9.2 percent in 2006-07 as compared to 9.0 percent in the previous year. The growth rates of the agriculture, industry and service sectors are estimated at 2.7%, 10.2% and 11.0% for 2006-07 as compared to 6.0%, 8.0% and 10.3% in the previous year. The acceleration in the growth of manufacturing sector from 9.1% in 2005-06 to 12.1% in 2006-07 was the key driver of industrial growth. Most of the sub-sectors in the Services Sector have also performed better during 2006-07.

 

The growth in trade, hotels, transport, storage and communication rose from 10.4%'to 13.0% in 2006-07. The growth of financial, real estate and business services improved from 10.9% in 2005-06 to 11.1% in 2006-07. The growth of agricultural sector however declined from 6% in 2005-06 to 2.7% in 2006-07, due to shortfall in the case of rice, coarse cereals and oilseeds and lower outputs due to decline in acreage. The share of Agricultural Sector in the real GDP declined from 19.7% to 18.5% during the year 2006-07, while the Services Sector improved its share from 60.9% to 61.9% with Industry posting a marginal increase from 19.4% to 19.6%. 


 
Broad Money (M3) growth accelerated to 20.8% as at end-March, 2007 from 17% a year ago. There were genuine concerns on the inflation front with inflation rate on a upward trend for most part of the year 2006-07. The wholesale price index rose by 5.7% in 2006-07 as against 4.1% in 2005-06.

 

Consumer Price Inflation remained above the WPI inflation throughout the year, mainly reflecting the impact of higher food prices. On an average basis, annual inflation increased from 4.4% in 2005-06 to 5.4% in 2006-07.

 

The buoyancy witnessed in the country's foreign trade in recent years continued in 2006-07 as well.

 

Merchandised exports in US dollar terms increased by 22.5 % in April-December 2006 as compared with 29.5% during the corresponding period of 2005-06. Imports growth decelerated to 25.3% in April-December 2006 as compared with 36, 2% a year ago. 


 
The rising trend in the country's foreign exchange reserves is maintained and has reached an all time high level of US$ 199.2 billion in March, 2007. 

 
Banking Scenario: 

 
The industrial resurgence and upswing in investments were reflected in the large expansion of bank credit. With the high demand for credit, there was a steady increase in credit deposit ratio of Scheduled Commercial Banks and hardening of interest rates. The increase in the non food credit of Scheduled Commercial Banks during 2006-07 was 28.0%, on the top of 31.8% growth in last fiscal. Reconciling the twin needs of facilitating credit for growth on the one hand and containing liquidity to tame inflation on the other, remained a challenge. Reserve Bank of India put a restraint on the rapid growth of personal loans, capital market exposures and commercial real estate loans, by enhancing the provisioning requirements for standard advances under these categories. Further, the Reserve Bank of India also announced several measures to contain credit growth and reign in inflation, such as hiking of repo rate, cash reserve ratio, etc. The last quarter of the year saw pick-up in the growth rate of aggregate deposits of scheduled commercial banks with banks, hiking their interest rates on deposits. As a result, the increase in aggregate deposits of Scheduled Commercial Banks during 2006-07 was much higher at 23.0%, as compared to 18.1% in 2005-06.

 

While the growth of demand deposits slowed down to 16.0% from 27.5% in 2005-06, the term deposits grew by 24.5% as compared to 16.4% in 2005-06.
