Outlook:
The advance GDP estimates released by the government indicate that India is likely to register a second consecutive year of sub-5% growth in F2014. The only bright spots during the year have been a growth in agricultural output and incomes in the wake of a healthy monsoon and a pickup in country’s exports aided by economic recovery in the advanced economies and a weakening domestic currency. Coupled with steps taken to curb gold imports, increase capital inflows and build foreign exchange reserves, this has helped limit (though not entirely remove) the country’s vulnerability to sudden stops and reversals of capital flows triggered by the US Fed’s ongoing ‘tapering’ actions. Looking ahead, current signals - strengthening recovery in advanced economies, stabilizing domestic currency, subdued commodity and oil prices, receding inflationary pressures, and rising business confidence – signify an uptick in economic activity in F2015. But, with future policy direction critically dependent on the outcome of the parliamentary elections due in May 2014, we maintain at present a cautious and watchful outlook on the economy.
