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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC SCENARIO

 

GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTS

 

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has estimated the growth of world output at 3.2% in 2012 and has forecasted the world output growth to be at 3.3% for 2013 and to reach 4.0% by 2014 on account of expected sharper recovery in the US. The growth in Emerging and Developing Economies (EDEs) has been estimated to grow by 5.1% in 2012 and is projected to reach 5.3% in 2013 and 5.7% in 2014, respectively.

 

Steady monetary easing in the face of fiscal austerity measures in advanced economies boosted global investor

sentiments since Q4 of 2012. International financial markets posted significant gains, especially in Japan following

its recent policy stimulus and in the US on the back of improved economic data.

 

The IMF’s Global Financial Stability Report of April 2013 has mentioned that global financial market conditions have improved in the past six months due to monetary stimulus and liquidity support. The improvement in global financial conditions is supportive of global growth prospects for 2013.

 

 

DOMESTIC ECONOMY

 

GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) GROWTH

 

During the year 2012-13 both domestic and global factors impacted Indian economy’s growth. The economy faced multiple challenges like high inflation, rising fiscal deficit and widening Current Account Deficit (CAD).

 

As per the Advance Estimates of the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) India’s GDP growth is estimated to be at 5% in FY 2012-13 as compared to 6.2% growth registered in 2011-12. The moderation in growth was seen across all the three major sectors; agriculture, industrial and services.

 

The growth in agriculture and allied activities grew by 1.8% in 2012-13, compared to 2.8 % in 2011-12. The delayed monsoon impacted kharif production though rabi prospects seems to be better. As per the latest estimates, the food grain production is estimated at 250 million tones in 2012-13.

 

For 2012-13, growth in the index of industrial production (IIP) slowed to 1% from 2.9% in the 2011-12 due to low

performance of capital goods sector.

 

The services sector (excluding construction sector) is likely to grow by 6.5% in 2012-13 against 8.5% last fiscal.

 

 

INFLATION

 

Headline inflation, as measured by the wholesale price index (WPI), moderated to an average of 7.3 % in 2012-

13 from 8.9 % in 2011-12.

 

The food inflation which has a weightage of around 24% in the WPI remained high through the year on account of the delayed monsoon and the increase in the minimum support price (MSP) for paddy. Fuel inflation averaged in double during the year due to upward revision in administered prices and step wise increase in diesel prices.

 

The retail inflation measured by CPI averaged 10.2% during 2012-13 largely driven by food inflation.

 

 

EXTERNAL SECTOR

 

On external front, the merchandise exports in 2012-13 have declined by 2% amounting to US $301 billion much below the indicative target of US $350 billion. Imports on the other hand increased marginally by 0.44% amounting to $491 billion, during the fiscal.

 

This has resulted into widening of trade deficit and current account deficit (CAD). The CAD as a percentage of GDP stood at 5.4% for April-December 2012-13 as against 4.1% in the same period of 2011-12 owing to significant increase in imports (of oil and gold) at a time when exports remained subdued.

 

In the current fiscal year, the exchange rate of the rupee against US$ has witnessed high volatility. Overall, the rupee fell sharply against US$ during the year 2012-13 as compared to the previous year. Subdued investment climate, high current account deficit and declining prospects of capital flows, have kept the rupee under continued

pressure.

 

Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows into India stood at US$ 22.2 billion during April-December 2012, which is

22.1% lower than US$ 28.5 billion during April-December 2011.

 

 

MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS

 

The RBI’s monetary policy stance during the year reflected a calibrated approach to balance growth and inflation dynamics. During 2012-13, the RBI reduced the repo rates 3 times by 100 bps.

 

The overall liquidity position during the year remained under deficit mode. The average daily injection of liquidity through liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) window during 2012-13 was about Rs 816780.000 millions, which was higher than the previous year’s average of Rs 786860.000 millions.

 

In order to ease liquidity conditions, the RBI reduced the CRR of SCBs by 75 bps from 4.75% to 4.00% and the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) by 100 bps from 24% to 23% during the year. The broad money (M3) saw a marginal increase of 13.3% for FY-2012-13 from 13.2% in FY-2011-12.

 

 

DEVELOPMENTS IN BANKING INDUSTRY

 

The aggregate deposits registered a growth of 13.5 % for FY 2012-13 as compare to 13.4% in FY-2011-12.The credit growth decelerated to 14.1% for FY-2012-13 as compare to 17% in FY-2011-12. The credit growth has decelerated mainly due to the sluggish investment demand and slowdown in the credit-intensive manufacturing sectors.

 

The RBI has recently released final guidelines for the opening of new banks in India. At present the margins of the banking sector are under pressure due to challenges like increasing capital requirements, higher provisioning expenses and rising wage bill. The entry of new banks will further put pressure on the margin of Banks. Further, the banks will be facing the challenge on account of raising additional capital under the Basel III framework with higher and modified nature of capital requirements.
