INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The worst is over for India’s economy with gross domestic product likely to expand 5 %to 5.5 % this year and more than 6 % in 2015, according to Moody’s Analytics. Concerns over the rupee and current account deficit are under control, said the agency. Ratings firm Crisil has forecast 6 % growth for 2014/15 up from the estimated 4.8 % for 2013/14.  Total economic growth, infrastructure bottlenecks and lack of transparency and consistency in foreign direct investment policies seem to have taken a toll on India’s attractiveness as an investment destination, says an Ernst & Young survey.  Projects with FDI component fell 16.4 % across the globe in 2012 from the previous year.  The drop in India was steeper at 21 %. State run carrier Air India is doling out free tickets to its 24000 employees, even as it expects to incur a loss of Rs 39000 mn this financial year and has a debt of Rs 350000 mn. 550000 number of jobs generated across India in 2013, a fall of 0.4 % as compared to with a year earlier. The National Capital Region has a one-fourth share in total jobs created, according to a study by industry lobby group Assochem, Banks, real estate, automobile and telecommunications sectors are showing a rise of job creation. $ 805 mn investments by venture capital firms in India during 2013, registering a drop of about 18 % over the previous year. The Information Technology and IT-Enabled Services Industry retained its status as the favourable venture capital investors in 2013. Pakistan has temporarily banned gold imports for the second time in six months, as it tries to stem smuggling into India. India’s import duty on gold is 10 % and curbs on purchases have dried up legal imports into what used to be the world’s biggest bullion buyers. The World Gold Council puts the amount smuggled into India at upto 200 tonnes in 2013. The Reserve Bank of India has proposed that unclaimed bank deposits estimated to be about Rs 35000 mn be used for education and awareness among depositors.  According to the plan, deposits that have not been claimed for at least 10 years will be transferred to the scheme.
