Economic Overview - Review and Outlook of Indian Economy
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Review & Outlook of Indian Economy
Executive Summary

World economy is at crossroads and 2016 in all probability it will not be the most pleasant year.
All indicators are pointing towards a correction in asset markets. The contraction in China’s GDP
due to its rebalancing will accentuate this trend. Rebalancing will impact the GDP of many economies who relied on exporting raw materials to China.

The Indian economy continued to exhibit resilience and strength of its domestic absorption to
register a growth of 7.2% during H1 FY16. Global deflation need not lead to depression in the
Indian context because causes of deflation are not debt induced as is the case in Europe and US.
In particular, economy, especially industrial activity should see an upswing in 2016, pulling up
the services sector alongside. If the US remains strong, capital flows to emerging economies particularly India, will increase. Liberalisation of key sectors, should increase fund flows for financing
infrastructure investment.

The outlook for inflation is conditional on international prices and the state of domestic demand.
Oil prices are likely to remain depressed. Commodity prices too will remain quiescent. In
particular, the speed with which alternative energy technologies are developing and combining
with technological improvements in shale oil extraction will ensure that there is almost minimal
chance of oil prices breaking through the $50 barrier.

India’s public debt remains sustainable given manageable interest rate costs and expected
recovery in the economy’s growth rate. The captive domestic investor base is likely to mitigate
the impact of any real interest rate shocks.

India’s financial system remains stable and the relatively stronger macroeconomic fundamentals
lend resilience to face the still prevailing uncertainty and emerging risks in the global economy
and financial markets.

The effects of some of the major steps taken by Government like activation of some of the
auction allocated coal blocks and some other mines, road contracts awarded through EPC and
hybrid annuity schemes, power transmission contracts, urban infrastructure projects, etc. will
start showing visible results over the next few months.

Global economic growth for the calendar year
Graph 1: Growth of international bank credit
2016 and 2017 is expected to see only a gradual
pick up. As per the latest World Bank forecast, the
global growth for 2016 is projected at 2.9%.

The developing countries may see a contraction
as prices of commodities are unlikely to recover
due to appreciation in dollar post Fed hike. Developed countries are reeling under unresolved post
crisis problems namely continued build up of public debt, debt induced deflation and unemployment and social unrest. Labour market slack is
perhaps more extensive than suggested by claimant-based unemployment rates alone. Broader
measures of unemployment, incorporating part-

time workers and inactive persons wanting to
work, remain well above pre-crisis norms in many
economies.

The global debt levels over the last seven years
have magnified. The expansion in central bank
balance sheet has not entirely met the desired
outcome namely inflation and credit expansion.
Many countries—US, EU and China—are witnessing across the board fall in prices. This trend may
continue in future as easy money that was the
cause of debt build up cannot cure the malice it
has created.

China deserves a special focus not only due to its
sheer size and connectivity but also due to its
conscious strategy to rebalance the economy towards consumption—the New Normal.

INDIAN ECONOMY: OUTPUT
Domestic Growth

Graph 7: GDP growth projection for India & China
The Indian economy has continued to exhibit resilience and the strength of its domestic absorption
to register a growth of 7.2% during H1 FY16. That
this has been attained, despite the highly tentative
global economic environment that has not shown
credible signs of improvement and despite sub-par
monsoon rains that for the second year in succes-

sion resulted in low growth in agriculture sector, is
indeed an encouraging development.

In addition to robust growth, the year thus far has
witnessed macro-economic stability aided by favourable factors such as comforting inflation indicators, benign fiscal situation and improving external current account balance. All these factors have
resulted in India emerging as the fastest growing
economy among the large economies, and, most
international organisations predict that it will continue to remain so in the medium term. Further,
India’s growth will surpass China in 2016.
Expenditure Side

Growth in consumption expenditure, particularly
in private final consumption expenditure (PFCE)
has been the major driver of the overall real GDP

It would suffice to say that global deflation need not lead to depression in general in Indian context because
causes are not debt induced as is the case in Europe and US. In particular, economy, especially industrial
activity should see an upswing in 2016, pulling up the services sector alongside. If the US remains strong,
capital flows to emerging economies particularly India, will increase significantly. Liberalisation of key

Global Outlook for 2016 and implications for India

World economy is at crossroads and 2016 in all probability will not be the most pleasant year. All indicators
are pointing towards a correction in asset markets. The contraction in China’s GDP due to its rebalancing will
accentuate this trend. Rebalancing will impact the GDP of many economies who relied on exporting raw material to China.

There will be trends towards decoupling in many economies. The build up of dollar denominated external
debt originating from non-financial corporations has been the fastest growing. The servicing of this debt after
a hike in Federal Funds rate will be the focus for banks in 2016.

The good news is that rate of growth of MSCI Emerging Markets Index capturing trends in large and mid-cap
companies across 23 emerging markets, has increased over the years, exhibiting better prospects. However,
this has been accompanied by increased dispersion in emerging market returns indicating higher uncertainty
in the global financial system. India with its much better macros stands to gain significantly from such positive
market volatility in the coming days.

INDIAN ECONOMY: INFLATION
Inflation under control

On retail inflation side, CPI rose by 5.61% on yoy
basis in Dec’15 compared to 5.41% in the previous
month. Overall in H2 2015, the average CPI stood
at 4.64% vis-à-vis 5.18% in H1 2015.

Increase in food prices, however, has outliers. For
example, excluding pulses, CPI inflation was at
4.64% in Dec’15, much lower than the RBI inflation
target of 5% as on March 2017.

In CPI and Core CPI, the divergence is also mainly
due to rise in food inflation.

Further, Core CPI remained flat in 2015. CPI has
also remained flat in 2015.
Stability of Core CPI

The distribution of core CPI over the last 14
months indicates a nicely shaped Bell curve, with
mean CPI at 4.4%. Interestingly, if we look at 95%
confidence interval, all the CPI numbers are within
that range, indicating that core CPI has nicely

Outlook
 The outlook for inflation would of course depend on international prices and the state of domestic demand.
Oil prices are likely to remain depressed. Commodity prices too will remain quiescent.

In particular, the speed with which alternative energy technologies are developing and combining with technological improvements in shale oil extraction will ensure that there is almost minimal chance of oil prices
breaking through the $50 barrier. It is more likely that prices will remain at $30 levels or so, especially in view
of the Chinese economy showing significant strain and India pursuing an alternate energy policy with much
rigor. Additionally, Iran’s supply of oil to India is good news as the sour oil from Iran is better suited for our
refineries thus increasing the life of those assets.

Further, the outlook for prices will also depend on the output gap or the slack in the economy that will act as
a buffer against price increases. Declining nominal GDP growth as well as capacity under- utilization in important sectors suggest that the output gap has not narrowed significantly. This should serve to moderate
future price increases.

Outlook

India’s public debt remains sustainable given manageable interest rate costs and expected recovery in the
economy’s growth rate. The captive domestic investor base is likely to mitigate the impact of any real
interest rate shocks.

India has a good track record of undershooting the budgeted fiscal deficit in the past decade on a consistent
basis and thus fiscal consolidation is not a cause for worry. India has also made rapid strides in associated
fiscal infrastructure for the convenience of tax payers and this is likely to continue.

Outlook
 India’s financial system remains stable and the relatively stronger macroeconomic fundamentals lend resili-
ence to face the still prevailing uncertainty and emerging risks in the global economy and financial markets.
However, policy makers and stakeholders will need to remain watchful about the potential adverse impact of
developments in the global scenario, particularly increased volatility in financial markets and further slowdown in global trade.
 Going forward, banking sector will have an improved outlook with risk tilting towards lower side. There are
many factors responsible for this outlook. Firstly, the uncertainty with regard to direction of growth may clear
off helping banks in extending credit. Secondly, the enabling legislation for asset recovery will accrue benefits.
As the investment cycle gathers momentum, we do believe that credit demand will pick-up further. It is diffi-
cult to ascertain the direction of credit flows at this time. Some sectors like personal loans, housing may remain buoyant. There may be increased credit flow to sectors like Renewable Energy, Roads, Aviation, Power
and so on.
 The future of insurance industry looks promising with several changes in regulatory framework which will
lead to further change in the way the industry conducts its business and engages with its customers.

Outlook

The monsoon season 2015 ended with a 14.3% deficit, making it the weakest monsoon since 2009. However, better food management by the Government will ensure that food prices remain largely under control.

Going forward, the new crop insurance scheme will act as a buffer as against any adverse monsoon. The
increased payouts under MGNREGA will also act as an enabler for rural demand.

FDI Easing to Send positive signal for Make in India

The relaxation in FDI norms by Government would give crucial fillip to its ‘Make in India’ campaign at least
in four major sectors viz. Construction, Aviation, Defence and Broadcasting. In all these sectors there are
ample opportunities and currently a lot of foreign investors are planning to invest in these sectors. In particular, the relaxation in construction would help in realizing dream of 100 smart cities while increase in FDI
to 100% in aviation will lead to building of strong air-network in India.

mains at a comfortable level.
Outlook

Given weak global economic prospects, exports are expected to remain benign. Furthermore, trade balance will
continue to improve on the back of weak oil prices leading to further reduction in imports in value terms. But
fall in oil prices may impact our exports to Middle-East, especially construction project exports.

Current account deficit will continue to moderate against the backdrop of low commodity prices. Meanwhile,
India will continue to be attractive destination for foreign investment.

ANNEXURE
Startup India, Standup India

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, recently launched the ‘Startup India, Standup India’ movement to
boost start-up businesses, offering them a corpus of Rs 10,000 crore.

Profits earned by start-ups will be exempt from payment of income tax during the first three years of business. To boost financing, a 20% tax on capital gains made on investments by entrepreneurs after selling own
assets as well as government-recognised venture capitalists will also be exempt.

Further, an unencumbered easy exit option will be provided under the bankruptcy Act so that start-ups can
exit within 90 days.

PM has also announced a self-certification scheme in respect of nine labour and environment laws and said
there will be no inspection during the first three years of launch of the venture. Also, a liberalised patent regime is being brought to help start-up businesses register patents, for which the fee will be slashed by 80%.

India, which has the third-largest number of start-ups globally, will also support the ventures by removing
the criteria of experience and turnover for bagging government procurement contracts.
Make in India

Government 'Make in India' campaign aims at transforming the country into a global manufacturing hub and
has already made a "tremendous" impact on the investment climate. The initiative was launched in
September 2014 to invigorate the country's manufacturing sector. India received $33.09 billion FDI during
October 2014 to September 2015, a growth of 21% compared to the corresponding period last year.

The notable sectors that received huge inflows are Computer Software & Hardware ($4.9 billion, growth of
285%), Construction Activities ($1.7 billion, growth of 316%) and Automobile Industry ($3.1 billion, growth
of 71%).
