INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

NEWS

 

As per the latest IMF study, the total weigh of emerging markets in the GDP of the world on a purchasing power parity basis has seen a sizeable shift. It highlights how as against 51 % in 2005, the emerging economies now account for close to 56 % of the global purchasing power GDP as per the latest survey. And with the emerging economies growing at a faster rate than their developed counterparts, there are every possibility that the their share goes up further in the coming years.  China may surpass the US over the next few years.

 

Politics and economics are very intricately connected. They tend to influence each other in ways that could be very complex and far-reaching. The prospects of the India’s economy have been seriously compromised due to political corruption. High inflation, poor standard of living are to a great extent a result of rampant corruption in the country. China on the other hand, seems to be facing diametrically opposite challenge. American hedge fund manager Jim Chanos has been keenly following the political and economic development in the dragon economy and has figured out something that is quite worrying. He is of the view that the Chinese economy could be heading toward trouble on account of new Chinese President Xi Jingping’s very aggressive anti-corruption drive. Chanos believes tat many things such as apartment sales, luxury products, etc. were largely bought with dirty money. And it is now beginning to impact consumption. This may indeed be bad news for an economy that is struggling to transition from an investment-driven export-oriented economy to a domestic consumption-driven economy.

 

A study published by Firstpost has revealed that asset classes like real estate and equities were the biggest beneficiaries of the liberalization policies.  A firm called Ciane Analytics studied returns from assets including equities, gold, fixed deposits, G-Secs and real estate since 1991. Real estate outperformed every other asset classes during the 23-year period with an annualized return of 20 % ! Equities came in second with annualized return of 15.5 % ! However, while these returns may seem mouthwatering, the fact is that the return from equities adjusted for inflation came down to just 7.1 %.

PRESS RELEASE

 

FEDEX STRENGTHENS ITS DOMESTIC GROUND AND SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES IN INDIA FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION

 

Mumbai, May 7, 2014 — FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) announces the successful integration of its acquired AFL and UFL businesses in India.  Since the acquisition in 2011, FedEx has focused on strengthening its domestic transportation and supply chain capabilities to meet the demands of Indian businesses. FedEx now offers end-to-end logistics solutions, including international and domestic air express services, domestic ground services, warehousing and supply chain management.

 

With the integration complete, FedEx has:

 

·         Expanded its service coverage from 4,000 postal codes to over 19,000 in India

·         Strengthened its ground transportation service: it now has a fleet of over 1,000 trucks connecting cities and towns across India, leading technology and competitive pricing

·         Increased its office and hub space capacity from 300,000 to over a million square feet

·         Added inventory management services via more than 900,000 square feet of warehousing space across the country

 

“In a little over a decade, India is expected to have as many as 18 mega-demand cities with a GDP surpassing $20 billion.  

 

The internet is also propelling small towns such as Guntur in Andhra Pradesh or Choryasi in Gujarat, into the league of top rural hubs for eCommerce in India.  This is why we have expanded our network to over 90% of India’s manufacturing GDP, thereby providing seamless access to Indian businesses with diverse logistics needs,” said David Canavan, vice president, Operations, FedEx Express India.

 

“Increasingly, the success of modern retail chains, hi-tech industries or booming eCommerce sites depends on the efficiencies and intelligence of their supply chain.  Innovative services such as cash on delivery, repair-and-return, pick and pack and returns management are critical.  Our successful integration places us in a formidable position to meet all of these logistics requirements.”

 

Now, customers using FedEx domestic ground services can also benefit from shipping applications that enable them to create waybills for single or multi-piece shipments. In addition, they can monitor incoming and outgoing packages, get status notifications and near real-time tracking. High volume businesses such as eCommerce are supported with robust web integration for faster processing.

 

Industries with complex supply chain requirements (particularly hi-tech, retail, medical equipment or consumer durables) will gain a competitive advantage by using FedEx domestic ground and supply chain services.

FEDEX EXPRESS AMONG TOP 20 BEST FIRMS TO WORK IN INDIA

 

Jul 9, 2014

 

BANGALORE: FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp, today said it has been recognised among the top 20 best companies to work for in India by the Great Place to Work Institute.

 

The survey is India's largest annual study of workplace excellence and is based on confidential employee feedback and an audit of management processes by the Great Place to Work Institute, FedEx said in a release.

 

FedEx Express was ranked 19th among more than 500 companies that participated in the survey by the Great Place to Work Institute in India, it added.

 

Stating that FedEx Express also ranked second amongst India's best companies to work for in the transportation industry, the release said the company was acknowledged in two further special categories: Best Companies for Rewards and Recognition, Best Companies for Engaging the Frontline Staff.

 

Additionally, FedEx has been added to the Great Place to Work 'Hall of Fame' for consistently being ranked as a great place to work in India, the release noted.

 

 

FEDEX Q4 PROFIT RISES ON GROWTH IN GROUND SHIPPING

 

June 18, 2014

 

FedEx Corp says its quarterly profit rose as growth in online shopping gave its ground-shipping business a lift.

 

The earnings of $2.46 per share beat Wall Street's forecast by a dime. Revenue also topped expectations.

 

The package-delivery company said Wednesday that it earned $730 million in its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended May 31, compared with $303 million a year ago, when write-downs weighed on the results.

 

Revenue rose 3.5 per cent to $11.84 billion. Analysts expected $11.66 billion, according to FactSet.

 

Revenue in the ground-shipping business grew 8 per cent, helped by gains in e-commerce. That helped offset slower growth in FedEx Express, which accounts for more than half the company's revenue.

 

 

Its shares rose 4 per cent in premarket dealings.
