INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit narrowed in the quarter ended September as government measures to curb imports, especially gold, kicked in.  The current account deficit, the excess of a country’s imports of goods and services over exports, narrowed to $ 5.2 billion from $ 21 billion in the year ago period, according to provisional Reserve Bank of India data. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said the CAD for the year will be less than $ 60 billion or 3 per cent of GDP and the latest data suggests the government may achieve the target.

 

India was ranked 94th among the world’s most corrupt nations list. Denmark and New Zealand topped as the cleanest while Somalia emerged as the most corrupt.

 

India’s services sector activity witnessed a moderate improvement in November over the previous month, even while indicating the fifth successive monthly contraction, according the HSBC survey.

 

$53 million estimated losses suffered by India due to phishing attacks during the third quarter, according to a study by RSA. India ranks fourth in the list of nations hit by phishing attacks. The US remained at the top of the charts. Phishing is the process of acquiring information such as user names, passwords and credit card details by sending e-mails disguised as official mails.

 

Rs.4080 million worth of mobile-phone-based transactions by July 2013 compared to Rs.260 million in September, 2012, according to Deloitte report. The number of transactions has shot up from 94000 to 701000.

 

India aims to earn Rs.400000 million from the bandwidth auction set for January. The merger and acquisition guidelines, cleared by a group of ministers, will be out before the auction begins so that players can make informed decisions on the auctions.

MACRO ECONOMICS AND OUTLOOK:

 

Four years after the global financial crisis, the economic prospects have improved, but the road to recovery for advanced economies is expected to be a long drawn process. IMF predicts that world output growth shall reach 3.75% in 2013 and 4% in 2014. While private demand is appearing increasingly robust in the United States, in the Euro area it continues to be sluggish. There are good signs of economic activity in the emerging and the developing markets.

 

Over the last six months of fiscal 2012, advanced economy policymakers have successfully defused two of the biggest short-term threats to global recovery, the threat of Eurozone breakup and a sharp fiscal contraction in the United States caused by a plunge off the ‘fiscal cliff.’ In response, financial markets have rallied.

 

There was a noticeable slowdown in the emerging markets and developing economies during 2012, a reflection of the sharp deceleration in demand from key advanced economies, domestic policy tightening and the end of investment led growth. However, with consumer demand being resilient and revival of exports, most economies in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa and many economies in Latin America and the Commonwealth of Independent States are now seeing growth. The recovery should gain momentum in emerging Europe also, as demand from advanced Europe slowly picks up. The IMF while lowering its projection for economic growth in emerging economies to 5.3% in 2013 predicted that Indian economy growth is expected to accelerate from 4% in 2012 to 5.8% in 2013 and 6.2% in 2014. The prospect of increased activity in India is based on external demand, strong consumption, a better monsoon and policy improvements.

 

In view of the growth outlook, the World Bank forecasts that overall inflation in 2013 will remain relatively moderate. Global inflation is expected to fall in the 3.5 to 4 % range for 2013, which is very similar to the reported global inflation of 3.9 % in 2012. The developing countries are estimated to witness inflation of about 6.3 % in 2013, marginally higher than in 2012, as a result of increasing food prices and a higher allocation of the overall inflation measurement toward basic food staples. During the course of the year 2012, unemployment in the United

States fell by a full percentage point, an encouraging sign that businesses seemed to be hiring in spite of uncertainty. While the underlying trend in unemployment is downward, experts opine that the pace of job growth remains well below what is needed to push wages substantially higher or to significantly reduce the broadest measure of unemployment anytime soon.

 

In the Indian context, average unemployment rate is expected to rise to 9.4% in 2013 from 9.3% in 2012, as forecast by staffing firm Kelly Services. Overall, India would see a net addition of just under a million jobs and that means 2013 will be better than 2012 in terms of jobs addition. The year 2012 turned out to be a roller-coaster ride for the Indian Rupee. A low -point in the Rupee’s journey in fiscal 2013 came on June 25, 2012, when it touched a one year high of Rs. 57.88 to the US$. However, the rupee did recover from the low and closed at a five-month high of Rs. 52.85, gaining the most in 13 quarters on the expectation of higher Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) inflows due to government-backed reform measures on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and diesel price hike.

 

The fiscal deficit and the trade gap, persistently high inflation, slowdown in growth of total factor productivity, fears about a reversal in capital flows, combined with a gold-buying binge by Indians, has put the rupee under sustained pressure. The central bank, on the other hand, has been categorical that it will only step in to curtail the volatility and not to support the rupee at some predetermined value. Overall, 2012 witnessed a deceleration in growth in major developing countries and economies in transition, reflecting both external vulnerabilities and domestic challenges including financial sector fragility.
