MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS & ANALYSIS

Economic Review 2011-12:

 

Economic growth throughout the world had seen a sagging phase during the year 2011-12. Indian economy is not an exception. Turmoil in global economy, Eurozone’s financial crisis had made a direct impact on Indian economic growth. Real GDP grew just 6.1 per cent in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2011-12 against 6.9 per cent in the previous fiscal. The rate of growth in 2011-12 is estimated at 6.9per cent, which is marginally lower than the RBI’s projection of 7per cent as per the Advance Estimates (AE). The projection of growth as per Advance Estimates was maintained predominantly due to agriculture and construction.

 

An important feature in the Indian economy has been that the investment activity during the year 2011-12 has slowed down and as a result the Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) for 2011-12 has slipped to 29.3 per cent, a decline  of almost 4 percentage points over the last four years’ average.

 

Sectoral Developments:

Overall agriculture sector GDP growth for 2011-12 is expected to be 3 per cent on an average, riding high on record outputs for rice, wheat and a strong trend in growth in horticulture and animal husbandry.

 

IIP output growth showed a massive decline of 5.7 per cent in October, a sizeable recovery in November (6.6 per cent), with however a low reported growth in December of 1.8 per cent. In the month of January, 2012 IIP figures had registered output growth of 1.1per cent (revised from 6.8per cent due to error in recording sugar production). However, in the month of February,2012 factory output growth had shown a significant improvement by recording 4.1per cent growth. Leaving capital goods, the IIP Y-O-Y growth rate is estimated to be around 5 per

cent in the year 2011-12.

 

Mining and quarrying sectors are likely to report negative growth (-2.2per cent as per AE) for 2011-12 on account of weak coal output growth, restrictions imposed on iron ore production, decline in natural gas production and negative growth in crude oil output Electricity sector has performed well. It is expected to grow at 8.3 per cent during 2011-12.

 

Manufacturing and construction have been sluggish during the first three quarters of 2011-12. The overall growth rate is expected to be 3.9 per cent and 6.2 per cent respectively. Manufacturing output, which constitutes about 76per cent of industrial output, grew 4.0per cent in February compared with an annual 1.4per cent growth in the previous month. Production of consumer durable goods shrank 6.7per cent in February from a year earlier. Consumer goods contracted 0.2per cent during the same period. Capital goods production, a proxy for investment, recorded its first growth in six months expanding 10.6per cent from a year earlier. Services sector had experienced a strong growth of 9.6per cent in the first half of the 2011-12 and is expected to grow at 9.4 per cent for the full year 2011-12.

 

External Payments:

Current Account Deficit (CAD) had experienced a critical phase by averaging at 3.6 per cent (annualized) of GDP in the first half of 2011/12. CAD for 2011-12 is projected to be 3.6 per cent. The country’s current account deficit (CAD) nearly doubled in October-December and rose to

$19.6 billion from $10.1 billion a year earlier, due to a sharp slowing in merchandise and services exports, whereas, imports grew at a rapid pace

 

The decline of the rupee vis-ŕ-vis the US dollar was 19 per cent in the course of April–December 2011. However, there has been some recovery in the course of January and February 2012, with the rupee recovering by about 7.5 per cent. In the year 2011-12 the nominal  epreciation of rupee against the US dollar was by about 13 per cent

 

Fiscal Deficit & Reserves:

Fiscal deficit in the year 2011-12 is expected to be 5.9per cent of GDP while that in 2010-11 was 4.9per cent. Rising fiscal deficit and short-term debt levels were the major challenges for the fiscal policies. Forex reserves had reduced from USD 304.8 bn in March,11 to 294.4 bn in March,12. As on Dec, 2011External debt to GDP ratio and Short Term debt to total debt ratio had also increased over the previous financial year and stood at 20per cent and 23.3per cent, The 10-year benchmark government security yield remained range-bound during the first half of 2011-12. The 10-year benchmark yield was at 8.6 per cent on April 13, 2012 as compared with 8.0 per cent at end-March 2011.

 

Export – Import:

India's exports crossed USD 300 billion in 2011-12. Despite lower export demand from traditional markets and Eurozone crisis, outbound shipments grew in new markets of Latin America and Africa. During the same period imports had shot up by 38 per cent to USD 485 billion over the previous fiscal mainly due to high crude oil prices and huge demand for gold and silver. The maximum imports were of crude oil--USD 150 billion, while gold and silver contributed to USD 60 billion. India is world's largest gold importer. Consequently, the trade deficit is estimated to have widened to USD 185 billion from USD 104.4 billion in 2010-11.

 

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI):

Total flow of financial resources to the commercial sector was marginally higher at _ 12.7 trillion during 2011-12 as compared with _ 12.4 trillion during the previous year, mirroring tight liquidity conditions and higher cost of borrowings from banks, corporates increased their recourse to non-bank sources, especially foreign direct investment (FDI) and commercial paper.

 

Inflation:

WPI inflation which remained above 9 per cent for nearly two years has moderated significantly to below 7 per cent by March, 2012. Non-food manufactured products inflation has dropped from a high of 8.4 per cent in November,2011 to 4.7 per cent in March, 2012, actually coming below 5 per cent for the first time in two years. Much of the inflationary pressure came from demand gap in primary foods, including cereals in the initial months. Headline inflation has shown decline since November 2011 and more strongly in January, 2012. Wholesale price indexbased inflation, was at 6.95per cent in February after falling to a two-year low of 6.55per cent in the month of January, 2012. Food articles inflation, which was 8.1 per cent during April-December, 2011, briefly turned negative in January, 2012 reflecting the seasonal decline in food prices, particularly of vegetables, combined with a high base effect. However, it increased sharply to 6.1 per cent in February and further to 9.9 per cent in March, 2012.

 

Year-on-year inflation for manufactured goods rose from around 5 per cent in September, 2010 to 8 per cent during September and October, 2011. In the closing part of FY 2011-12 it had shown an indication of easing by recording non-food manufacturing products Y-O-Y inflation as 6.7per cent and 5.7per cent in Jan.and Feb., 2012, respectively.

 

Monetary Policy:

RBI has raised the key policy rates for 13 times since March, 2010. As on March, 2012 under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility the Repo, Reverse Repo and Marginal Standing Facility rates were 8.5per cent, 7.5per cent and 9.5per cent, respectively. RBI has reduced the CRR from 6per cent to 4.75per cent in the year 2011- 12 in two instalments of 50 bps (Dec., 2011) and 75 bps (Jan., 2012). Bank Rate has been

changed from 6per cent to 9.5per cent in February,2012. SLR also was slashed by 1 per cent (25per cent to 24per cent) during the year 2011-12.

 

Banking Developments :

Deposit Growth

Deposit growth at Indian banks stood at 17.4per cent to 61.12 trillion rupees in the year 2011-12, which is marginally higher than the RBI's projection of 17per cent, whereas, the deposit growth in the year 2010-11 was 16.58per cent. Reason behind the sign of improvement in growth of deposit was due to soothing of high inflation rate spread over the last two years.

 

Credit Growth

Advances grew by 19.3per cent to 47.05 trillion rupees, higher than the 16per cent projected by the RBI for the financial year 2011-12. The central bank had scaled down its advances growth projection in its January policy review from 18 per cent announced in its April, 2011 statement. Non-food credit growth decelerated from 22.1 per cent at the beginning of 2011-12 to 15.4 per cent by February, 2012 reflecting slower economic activity. However, it picked up to 16.8 per cent in March, higher than the indicative projection of 16 per cent.

 

Credit-Deposit Ratio

Credit deposit ratio (CD ratio) of Indian Banking sector has stood up to 76.97per cent in March,, 2012 from 75.7per cent in March, 2011.

 

Money Supply (M3)

The Broad Money Supply, i.e., M3 grew by 13.0per cent (y-o-y) as on March,‘12 – way below its growth of 16.0per cent at end- March, 2011. The money supply growth at present is 250 bps lower than its projected trajectory of 15.5per cent set for the year 2011-12, mirroring tightness in primary liquidity and lower credit demand during most part of the year.

 

Liquidity Condition

Liquidity conditions remained in a deficit mode throughout 2011- 12. However, beginning November, 2011, the liquidity deficit went beyond the comfort level of (+)/(-) one per cent of net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) of banks. Average net injection of liquidity under the daily liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) increased from around _ 0.5 trillion during April-September, 2011 to around _ 1.4 trillion during February, 2012 and further to _ 1.6 trillion during March, 2012, partly reflecting a build-up in government cash balances. In order to mitigate the liquidity tightness, the Reserve Bank took steps to inject primary liquidity of a more durable nature. It conducted open market operations (OMOs) aggregating around _ 1.3 trillion between November 2011 and March 2012. Further, the cash reserve ratio (CRR) was reduced by 125 basis points (50 basis points effective January 28, 2012 and 75 basis points effective March 10, 2012), injecting primary liquidity of about _ 0.8 trillion.  eflecting these measures, combined with decline in government cash balances, the net injection of liquidity under the LAF, which peaked at _ 2.0 trillion on March 30, 2012, declined sharply to _ 0.7 trillion on April 13,

 

2. Economic Outlook 2012-13:

Trend of Global GDP Growth

 

Experts are cautiously optimistic regarding the economic outlook of 2012-13. The global recovery is threatened by intensifying strains in the euro area and fragilities elsewhere. Financial conditions have deteriorated, growth prospects have dimmed, and downside risks have escalated. Global output had also slowed down and is projected to expand by 3.25 per cent in 2012. Growth in emerging and developing economies is also apprehended to slow because of the worsening external environment and a weakening of internal demand. Specifically, concerns about banking sector losses and fiscal sustainability widened sovereign spreads for many euro area countries, which reached highs not seen since the launch of the Economic and Monetary Union. Bank funding all but dried up in the euro area, prompting the European Central Bank (ECB) to offer a three-year Long-Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO). Currency markets were volatile, as the Japanese yen appreciated and many emerging market currencies depreciated significantly. In FY 2012–13, growth in emerging and developing economies is expected to be 5.75 per cent on an average, a significant slowdown from the 6.75 per cent growth registered during 2010–11and 6.25per cent projected for the year 2011-12.

 

 

Indian Economy:

In the year 2012-13 the economy is likely to grow at around 7.6 per cent. An improvement of 1.5 to 2.0 percentage points of GDP can be envisioned in 2012-13. Price stability will also normalize consumption demand. The weaker currency is likely to improve the prospects for export demand. However, there is a fairly wide range of outcomes both on investment side, on the financial side and on the trade front that may be reasonably envisaged.

 

The inadequacy of infrastructure availability continues to act as a constraint for the expansion of economic activity across the country. It is likely that the targets set for 2011-12 in power and roads may be achieved. Government is expected to set ambitious targets for 2012-13 for both capacity creation in key infrastructure areas and operational performance, especially in the coal sector,

so that a fillip is provided to the improvement of economic activity

in 2012-13.

 

Inflationary pressure will continue to ease through 2012-13 and will remain around 5-6 per cent for the year 2012-13. It is expected that the Govt. will have a sharp vigil on food prices and take proactive measures not only to encourage output increase but equally, if not even more urgently, to ensure the rollout of an adequate food logistics network that can do justice to the rising demand for and output of horticulture and animal husbandry products.

 

The Current Account Deficit (CAD) for the year 2012-13 will be 3.0 per cent. Govt. will however, try and limit the CAD over the medium term to between 2.0 and 2.5 per cent of GDP. On the capital account side, capital inflows especially that in the form of equity is expected to be encouraged and improve domestic conditions for investment and growth, along with fundamental macroeconomic stability, i.e. prices,  exchange rate and fiscal balances.

Heritage

The idea of a truly Indian bank was first conceived of by Mr. G.D Birla, the doyen of Indian Industrial renaissance, after the historic "Quit India" movement in 1942. Soon this nascent idea came into reality and, on the 6th of January 1943, The United Commercial Bank Ltd. was born with its Registered and Head Office at Kolkata. The very first Board of Directors was represented by eminent personalities of the country drawn from all walks of life, and this all-India character of the Bank has been assiduously maintained till this day not only in the composition of its Board but also in the geographical spread of its 1700 odd branches in the country as well as in its overseas centres in Singapore and Hong Kong.

 

Having traversed periods of expansion and consolidation, the Bank was nationalized by the Government of India on the 19th July 1969 whereupon 100 per cent ownership was taken over by the government in UNITED COMMERCIAL BANK. This historic event brought about a sea-change in the entire fabric of the bank's thinking and activities, commensurate with the government's socio-political approach of mass banking as against class banking hitherto practised. Branch expansion started at a fast pace, particularly in rural areas, and the bank achieved several unique distinctions in Priority Sector lending and other social upliftment activities. To keep pace with the developing scenario and expansion of business, the Bank undertook an exercise in organizational restructuring in the year 1972. This resulted into more functional specialization, decentralization of administration and emphasis on development of personnel skill and attitude. Side by side, whole hearted commitment into the government's poverty alleviation programmes continued and the convenorship of State Level Bankers' Committee (SLBC) was entrusted on the Bank for Orissa and Himachal Pradesh in 1983.

 

The year 1985 opened a new chapter for the Bank as the name of the Bank changed to UCO BANK by an Act of Parliament. The customer friendly and socially committed character, however, remained even with this change in name which has, over the years, been regarded as one of the well known and vibrant banks in the country. Today, with all its inner strengths, UCO Bank has come a long way to symbolize friendliness for customers and efficiency in its banking business. Truly, UCO Bank HONOURS YOUR TRUST.
