INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The current downturn provides an opportunity to push ahead with reforms to accelerate growth, says the latest India Development Update report released by the World Bank. The report says that the adverse effects of rupee depreciation are likely to be offset by the gains in the exports performance due to improved external competitiveness. Since May this year, the local currency has depreciated substantially and fell to a record level of Rs 68.85 to a dollar on August, 28.

 

A stagflation like situation appears to have arisen as inflation jumped to an eight month high of 6.46 % for the month of September. It is up from 6.10 % in August. Growth continues to be muted with factory output plunging to 0.6  % in August. Onion prices have risen nearly 300 % from last September. Vegetables cost nearly 90 % more than they did last year. Wake up to the economic contribution of slum dwellers. They contribute more than 7.5 % to the country’s gross domestic product, according to a recent study conducted in 50 top cities.

 

136000 estimated number of jobs created during the second quarter of the current financial year. 50000 estimated number of additional jobs in the field of corporate social responsibility in the coming years.

 

The International Finance Corporation expects to come out with its rupee linked bonds issue before the end of 2013 as a part of its plan to raise $ 1 billion. The Apple iPhone 5c (Rs 41900 for 16 GB variant) and 5s (Rs 53500 for 16GB variant) has been launched in India from 1st November.

 

The Land Acquisition Act to provide just and fair compensation to farmers will come into force from January 1 next year, said Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh. The Act replaces a 119 year old registration. The Securities and Exchange Board of India has approved the trading of currency futures on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The exchange plans to launch the currency futures platform with advanced trading technology by the end of November.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL ECONOMIC SCENARIO:

 

In the current scenario, emerging market and developing economies are doing well but in advanced economies, there is a growing bifurcation between the United States on and the Euro area. This is reflected in the various forecasts. Growth in emerging market and developing economies was 5.3 percent in 2013 and estimated to reach 5.7 percent in 2014. Growth in the United States is expected to be 1.9 percent in 2013 when final data arrives and 3.0 percent in 2014. In contrast, growth in the Euro area is expected to be –0.3 percent in 2013 and 1.1 percent in 2014.

 

The forecast for negative growth in the Euro area reflects not only weakness in the periphery but also some weakness in the core. The process of devaluation is taking place, and most of these countries are becoming more competitive. However, external demand is not strong enough to compensate weak internal demand. In the Euro area, institutional progress has been made over the past year, in particular on creating a road map for a banking union. The Outright Monetary Transactions program offered by the European Central Bank has reduced tail risks. The interest rates facing borrowers in periphery countries are still too high to secure the recovery and there is need for measures to strengthen banks.

 

Emerging market economies face different challenges, one of which is handling capital flows. Fundamentally attractive prospects in emerging market economies, together with low interest rates in advanced economies, are likely to lead to continuing net capital inflows and exchange rate pressures in emerging market economies. Capital flows can be volatile, making macroeconomic management more difficult. The challenge for recipient countries is to reduce the volatility of capital flows when they threaten macro or financial stability. In short, recent good news about the United States has come with renewed worries about the euro area, given the strong interconnections between the two.

 

 

OUTLOOK FOR 2013-14

 

Global prospects have improved again but the road to recovery in the advanced economies will remain difficult. World output growth was 3¼ percent in 2013 and is estimated to reach 4 percent in 2014. In the major advanced economies, activity is expected to gradually accelerate, following a weak start to 2013. Advanced economy policy makers have successfully defused two of the biggest threats to the global recovery, a breakup of the euro area and a sharp fiscal contraction in the United States caused by a plunge off the “fiscal cliff.”

 

In the short term, risks mainly relate to developments in the Euro area, including uncertainty about the fallout from events in Cyprus and Italy as well as vulnerabilities in the periphery. In the medium term, the key risks relate to insufficient institutional reform and prolonged stagnation in the euro area as well as high fiscal deficits and debt in the United States and Japan. In advanced economies, the right macroeconomic approach continues to be gradual but sustained fiscal adjustment and an accommodative monetary policy aimed at supporting internal demand. The United States and Japan still need to devise and implement strong medium-term fiscal consolidation plans. In emerging market and developing economies, some tightening of policies appears appropriate. This tightening should begin with monetary policy supported with prudential measures.

 

 

DOMESTIC ECONOMIC SCENARIO

 

According to Central Statistical Organization (CSO) Indian economy grew 5.0 per cent in 2012-13. The growth is on the lower side not only as compared to the recent past but also in the context of growth trends witnessed since 2003-04. The slowdown in the growth of the economy in 2012-13 is mainly on account of industrial sector which grew 3.1 per cent in 2012-13 as against 3.5 per cent in 2011-12 and a lower growth of 1.8 per cent in agriculture sector. Services sector grew at the rate of 6.6 per cent in 2012-13, which is also lower than that achieved in 2011-12. The slowdown in 2011-12 and 2012-13 has been precipitated by domestic as well as global factors, Domestic factors, including the tightening of monetary policy resulted in slowing down of investment and growth, particularly in the industrial sector.

 

In the domestic front, Inflation did ease in 2012-13 vis-à-vis higher levels prevailing in 2011-12. However, the pace of decline has been slow, denying requisite flexibility to the RBI to undertake sufficient reduction in the policy rates. The Indian economy is expected to register a growth rate of 5.7 per cent in 2013-14 as against 5 per cent in 2012-13. Moreover, with the reform measures undertaken recently along with expectations of improvement in the global economic scenario, there is a possibility of revival of growth in 2013-14.

 

On the fiscal deficit front, Government is committed to a fiscal consolidation target of 5.3% of GDP. However, the revised estimate pegged the deficit at 5.2% for FY 2012-13. This was achieved through a reduction in Plan expenditure and borrowing programme was also lower at Rs.5.59 lakh crore for 2012-13 vis-à-vis the Budget Estimate of Rs.5.75 lakh crore. Government has projected fiscal deficit target for FY 2013-14 at 4.8%.

 

However, the rising current account deficit is a concern. It was 6.7% of GDP during the third quarter of 2012-13. Exports are declining at a faster pace than imports, leading to widening of the deficit. CAD is likely to touch 6% for FY 2012-13. Declining oil and commodity prices is likely to lower the current account deficit for the ensuing financial year. Inflation is also likely to decline further due to subdued oil and commodity prices.

 

The recent reform measures undertaken by the Government have started to reverse sentiment. Government undertook long anticipated measures towards fiscal consolidation by reducing fuel subsidies and selling stakes in public enterprises on an ongoing basis. Further steps to increase FDI in retail, insurance and pension sector should contribute to greater capital inflows.

 

Inflation is also on a falling trend. WPI inflation for April 2013 was 4.9% which is below the 5% RBI target. CPI inflation for April 2013 was also lower at 100 bps lower than March figure at 9.36%. Though there were significant upward revisions in the WPI inflation figure for the month of January 2013 due to lagged effect of fuel price hikes,

subsequent month figures may see only a modest revision due to the effect of hike in food prices. However of serious concern is the FY 2012-13 industrial growth which came at just 1%.

 

 

OUTLOOK FOR FY 2013-14

 

Growth prospects for 2013-14 are expected to be better as compared to 2012-13. However, there is significant divergence in estimates between various think tanks on the growth estimates for 2013-14. While IMF and private economists peg the growth rate at 5.7-5.8%, the PMEAC (Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council) estimates India to grow 6.4% during 2013-14. This comes on the back of improved growth prospects estimated across farm, industry and service segments.

 

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) maintained that Indian economy could grow at an improved rate of 6 per cent during the current fiscal, provided reforms are put in place at a faster pace to sort out the structural bottlenecks, stem the deteriorating investment situation and the worsening current account deficit (CAD) is brought under check.

 

A normal monsoon will boost agricultural GDP growth to an above trend rate of 3.5 per cent in 2013-14. With the easing of inflation, RBI is expected to cut interest rates by 50 basis points during 2013- 14. The likely increase in government spending in the form of higher expenditure on social sector schemes and rural development will be driven by the upcoming general elections. Increased expenditure by the government, lower interest rates, moderation in inflation and high farm incomes will boost household spending and benefit sectors such as consumer durables, hotels and restaurants and financial services. Further improved external demand could raise India’s exports, especially in the IT/ITes sector.

 

Despite higher consumption growth, average WPI inflation is projected to be lower at 6 per cent in 2013-14, as against 7 per cent forecast for 2012-13 on back of normal monsoon, a stronger rupee, and lower crude oil prices. The downside risks to GDP growth forecast for 2013-14 would stem from a failure of monsoon in 2013 and deterioration in global economic prospects.

 

 

BANKING INDUSTRY – DEVELOPMENTS OUTLOOK

 

The performance of the Indian economy is one of the strongest drivers for the banking industry’s growth and vice versa and the average GDP growth of 8.1 per cent expected over 2011–16 will facilitate the expansion of the banking sector. The government policies bringing in monetary stability will also benefit and shield the industry from global economic or political turmoil. The banking sector has outperformed the market from 2010 onwards. A boost in the banking industry is also expected from the rising per capita income in India, which along with a growth in earnings of the country will lead to a higher number of people utilising banking services. Money supply (M3) growth was around 14.0 per cent during Q1 of 2012-13 but decelerated thereafter to 11.2 per cent by end- December as time deposit growth slowed down. There was some pick up in deposit mobilisation in Q4, taking deposit growth to 14.3 per cent by end-March. Consequently, M3 growth reached 13.3 per cent by end-March 2013, slightly above the revised indicative trajectory of 13.0 per cent. The non food credit for 2013-14 for the banking industry is projected at 15% and deposit growth at 14% on a y-o-y basis.

 

Nonfood credit growth decelerated from 18.2 per cent at the beginning of 2012-13 and remained close to 16.0 per cent for the major part of the year. By March 2013, nonfood credit growth dropped to 14.0 per cent, lower than the indicative projection of 16.0 per cent, reflecting some risk aversion and muted demand. While the Reserve Bank’s credit conditions survey showed easing of overall credit conditions, there was some tightening for sectors such as metals, construction, infrastructure, commercial real estate, chemicals and finance in Q4 of 2012-13.

 

In consonance with the cuts in the policy repo rate and the cash reserve ratio (CRR) during 2012-13, the term deposit rate declined by 11 basis points (bps) and the base rate by 50 bps. While the decline in the term deposit rate occurred mostly during the first half, the base rate softened by 50 bps to 10.25 per cent on an average in two steps of 25 bps each during Q1 and Q4 of 2012-13. During Q4, 39 banks reduced their base rates in the range of 5-75 bps. The weighted average lending rate of banks declined by 36 bps to 12.17 per cent during 2012-13 (up to February).

 

Liquidity remained under pressure throughout the year because of persistently high government cash balances with the Reserve Bank and elevated incremental credit to deposit ratio for much of the year. The net average liquidity injection under the daily liquidity adjustment facility (LAF), at Rs.730 billion during the first half of the year, increased significantly to Rs.1,012 billion during the second half. In order to alleviate liquidity pressures, the Reserve Bank lowered the CRR of SCBs cumulatively by 75 bps on three occasions and the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) by 100 bps during the year. Additionally, the Reserve Bank injected liquidity to the tune of Rs.1,546 billion through open market operation (OMO) purchase auctions. The net injection of liquidity under the LAF, which peaked at Rs.1,808 billion on March 28, 2013 reflecting the year-end demand, reversed sharply to Rs.842 billion by end-April 2013.

 

Financial Inclusion is another area where banks will have a major role to play. A World Bank Survey conducted in 2011 revealed that only 35 per cent of all adults in India had a bank account with a formal banking institution, while this figure stood at 21 per cent in the poorest income quanti le. This represents a massive opening that financial institutions in the country can leverage upon for future growth. Further, the policies of the Reserve Bank have prioritized financial inclusion, presenting an opportunity that might not manifest itself again. The Indian government has advised banks to open at least one branch in villages with a population of more than 2,000, and also cover the peripheral villages. Banks are also required to formulate a board approved Financial Inclusion Plan (FIP), the implementation of which will be monitored by the RBI.

 

The Indian government aims to further financial inclusion by setting up ATMs and providing mobile/online banking facilities. Further, experts suggest that the number of ATMs need to increase by 5 times in the coming decade. The mobile banking channel in India is also untapped, with close to 900 million mobile connections, and only 400 million bank accounts. These areas open up diverse opportunities for Indian banking industry.

 

However, there are certain challenges facing banks in India. They are raising capital to adhere to Basel-III standards, asset quality issues and increasing restructuring cases as well as human resource management issues. A McKinsey report suggests that banks in India need to recruit employees with the both core and specialist skills, and control attrition especially at the junior levels. Non private Indian banks will greatly benefit from productivity improvements, such as a re-engineering of the institutions knowledge processes, better use of technology and building industry level utilities

These reports are being effectively utilized to track and avoid delinquency.

·         Monitoring of slippages in small ticket advances pose a challenge due to sheer enormity of their numbers. To address this issue, during the fiscal 2012-13, the Bank took the initiative of introducing ‘Collection Cells’ at zonal centres. In all loan accounts including KCC accounts, a system generated advance intimation from Zonal Office is sent to the borrower, 10 days prior to due date, a system generated advance intimation from Zonal Office is sent to the borrower, informing the due date and amount of installment. In case the installment is not paid on the 15th day from the due date, regular follow up is made by the branch officials till such time the overdue is paid off. In case of accounts above Rs.1.000 Millions, Task Force Meeting (TFM) is arranged with Zonal Head. The Advance intimations pertaining to Rural and Semi Urban branches is written in local language. Tools utilized for efficient monitoring and control process:

·         Inspection of the assets charged to the Bank for ensuring end use of funds is undertaken at regular intervals. Adequate insurance of charged assets held in force, is given prime importance for safeguarding the Bank’s exposure.

·         Periodic Stock and Receivable Audit is another important tool used to safeguard quality of assets charged to the Bank which is carried out by empanelled Chartered Accountants.

·         Credit Process Audit (CPA), prior to release of funds by the Bank, ensures compliance of all terms of sanction and other covenants.

·         Zonal Credit Monitoring Committee meetings are conducted at all Zones wherein issues relating to big ticket advances are dealt with.

·         The advances showing inherent signs of weakness such as out of order position, inability to meet commitments under Letters of Credit / Bank Guarantees, timely review, etc. which pose a threat to Bank’s asset quality, are followed up by extensive usage of Video Conferencing facility / discussions at various platforms thereby sensitizing all concerned.

·         Critical analysis of delinquencies in advances within a short period of their respective sanctions (quick mortality cases) is made and remedial action is taken, wherever necessary. Additionally, accountability is examined in all delinquent assets, more particularly under quick mortality.

·         The classification of advances is in accordance with the prevalent IRAC norms. Advances which display signs of stress / temporary aberrations albeit having financial / economic viability are restructured in line with the prevalent guidelines / instructions issued from time to time by the regulatory authority. Calculation of Diminution in Fair Value and provision thereon is done at the Head Office level in respect of all restructured advances of Rs.10.000 Millions and above.
