INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND DEVELOPMENTS:
World Economy:
After a healthy pace of growth of world economy for the past 3 years at
the rate 4.5%-5%, the pace of economic growth stunted significantly in
2008 struck by the subprime crisis and the instablility in
international
financial markets, which even necessitated the IMF to make a marked
downward revision of its estimate for global growth to 0.5 per cent in
January, 2009 & thereby officially making for a global recession next
year. This crisis has not left even the emerging economies untouched;
the impact is on a lesser scale than in developed economies. The
emerging economies are also expected to show a slower growth of 6.9% in
2008 & 6.1% in 2009, which is nearly 2% down from the previous two
years. The world economic outlook estimates china growth rate to slow
down to 9.7% and 9.3% in 2008 and 2009 respectively, while IndiaÃs
growth is estimated to be 8% and 7% in these two years. Unlike the
earlier recessionary periods, the governments and central banks have
been proactive this time and have announced financial stimulus
packages, ushering in an expectation of early recovery from the second
half of this year. Amidst all the gloomy scenario, the silver lining is
that world trade is still expected to achieve a positive growth of 5%
and 4% in these two years which augurs well for your companyÃs
prospects.
OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:
IndiaÃs Economy has grown by more than 9% for three years running, and
has seen a decade of 7%+ growth until now. Like most of the world,
however, India has faced testing economic times in 2008 inspite of not
having direct exposure to the sub-prime mortgage assets or to the
failed institutions. The RBI projects growth of just 6% for the Indian
economy in 2009-10 which would be lower than the 6.5%-7% growth
estimate for 2008-09. This is mainly because of IndiaÃs integration
with world economy by two way trade and financial integration with the
world. However, it is expected that the impact of the global crisis
would be less severe in India as compared to developed countries.
After taking the cognizance of the depth and extraordinary impact of
the crisis, the central government has announced fiscal stimulus
packages aimed at additional public spending, providing fiscal benefits
to infrastructure and increasing thrust to external trade. These
measures, aided by resilient financial markets in India, and thrust to
domestic consumption demand inter alia covering impetus to
infrastructure sector- ports, airports, roads, railways etc. is
expected to provide an early recovery from global crisis somewhere
second half of FY10.The economyÃs performance of the first few months
of this fiscal corroborates to early recovery.
