INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.
