INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit for the fiscal third quarter ended September 2013 narrowed to $4.2 billion or 0.9 % of the gross domestic product from $31.9 billion or 6.5 % of GDP a year earlier, thanks to a pick-up in exports and moderation in gold imports. Manufacturing activity and new orders in India showed their strongest growth in a year in February. The news comes as a relief after data showed Asia’s third largest economy grew by a slower-than-expected 4.7 % annually in the three months through December. The HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index which gauges the business activity of India’s factories but not its’ utilities, rose to 52.5 in February, its highest in a year from 51.4 in January. Overall new orders for factory goods which rose to a one-year high of 54.9 contributed to the surge. China has emerged as India’s biggest trading partner in the current financial year replacing the United Arab Emirates and pushing it to the third spot. India-China trade has reached $49.5 billion with a 8.7 % share in India’s total trade. The US comes second at $46 billion with 8.1 % share during the first nine months of the current financial year.

 

The Reserve Bank of India has granted an additional nine months to the public to exchange currency notes printed before 2005 including Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations, pushing the deadline to January 1, 2015. A day before dates for the Lok Sabha polls were announced, the government decided to hike interest rates on fixed deposit schemes offered by post offices up to 0.2 per cent. The new rates will be effective April, 1. The Supreme Court will resume hearing on March, 11 Nokia’s appeal against a ruling over transferring ownership of its local mobile phones plant which is the subject of a tax dispute to Microsoft Corp.

 

In the last days of the current Government, another scam has surfaced. The defence ministry has ordered a probe into Hindustan Aeronautics Limited’s contracts from Britain’s Rolls-Royce Holdings worth at least $ 1.2 billion. The Central Bureau of Investigation will look into allegations that over $80 million was paid in kickbacks in a deal signed in 2011. India has asked Boeing Co. to find a solution for problems with state-owned Air India’s 787 Dreamliners. The aircraft has experienced a series of malfunctions since its debut in 2011.
