ECONOMIC SCENARIO

 

While the year began on an optimistic note, concerns on sustainability of the high growth phase had surfaced by the end of F.Y.2010-11 itself. During previous Financial Year there were many challenges staring at Indian economy coupled with a hope of improvement in world economy. But reality turned out to be different. The sovereign debt crisis in the Euro zone intensified, political turmoil in Middle East infused extensive uncertainty coupled by earthquake in Japan resulting in overall worldwide gloomy scenario.

 

Despite improvement in the overall optimism about the economy, the financial markets continued to witness high volatility primarily driven by the direction and magnitude of foreign capital flows, movement in industrial production and inflation. Inflation remained elevated throughout the year owing to factors like surge in prices of vegetables and fruits and unexpected rise in international crude oil. Despite improved global economic prospects and recovery of the Indian economy, the FDI inflows have largely remained sluggish.

 

India's fiscal balance has also deteriorated in F.Y.2011 -12 due to slippage in direct tax revenue and increased subsidies.

 

In spite of successfully containing the adverse impact of global slowdown on Indian economy, the year was disappointing to a certain extent. But it is also a fact that India still remains among the front-runners in economic growth in cross-country comparison.

 

As per 3Q review of monetary policy 2011-12 by RBI, the growth in Industrial production moderated to 4.0% during 2011 -12 from 8.30% in the corresponding period a year ago.

 

Indian Economy grew at just 6.90% in the F.Y.2011-12. Growth in industrial production slowed down mainly due to slowdown of manufacturing 8t mining sectors. Capital inflows to India have slowed down on account of widening of current account deficit besides significant pressure on exchange rate, which added to inflationary pressures.

 

For F.Y.2012-13 the RBI anticipates that the economy will exhibit a modest recovery, with growth being slightly faster than that of during F.Y.2011-12.

 

During the year, the RBI reduced CRR on two occasions i.e. during end of 3rd and 4th quarters to facilitate availability of more funds into the system to tide over the tight liquidity position. Due to this, credit off take was more during last quarter of the year as compared to previous 3 quarters.

 

During the year, the RBI increased repo rate on 5 occasions to contain spiraling inflation.

 

On banking front, there were some important reforms such as deregulation of interest rates on Savings Bank Deposits and NRE Deposits. Banks have been proactive in adapting to the changes, which are coming their way in emerging banking space, both in domestic and international fronts.

 

Projections of deposits in Banks made by RBI for F.Y.2011-12 ended amid an acute liquidity crunch as customers withdrew funds to cope with high inflation. During the year under report deposits of Banking Industry grew at 17.40%, which is below the RBI projections, despite upward trend in interest rates across the banks based on provisional data.

 

However, credit of banking industry grew at 19.30% higher than the 16% projected by RBI.

 

In spite of the downtrend in the economy, the bank continued to offer competitive rate of interest on deposits and advances during the year.

 

Due to this the bank could mobilize substantial amount of deposits with a healthy growth rate of 25.18% and was able to deploy funds judiciously. Credit off take increased by 22.11% during the year. The Bank has registered growth rates both in deposits and advances well above the industry growth rates.
