India: What to watch
Chartbook of key economic indicators • Latest opinion polls suggest that the BJP-led opposition is consolidating its
position ahead of the general election scheduled for April-May. For the first time since April 2013, the BJP-led NDA coalition is leading not only the incumbent UPA in polls, but also the consolidated tally of all of the smaller and regional parties.
• Investment by foreign institutional investors (FII) into equities remains steady (USD11.6bn FYTD). FII investment in Indian debt has seen large swings – outflows of USD10.3bn over April-December have swung to USD6bn of inflows since January. The INR, which has largely been in a 61-62 range since mid-September, will likely witness a pre-election rally towards 59, in our view.
• Growth momentum remains weak, but we see emerging green shoots of recovery as bottlenecks in key industries such as power, mining and domestic services sector are easing at the margin. While this may not be a conclusive signal of stronger activity just yet, we think these improvements could facilitate a growth recovery in FY 14-15, especially in case of a favourable election outcome.
• Inflation, after a late-2013 upsurge, has moved lower. Despite a likely uptick in the next 3-4 months, largely reflecting an adverse base, we expect inflation to soften in the coming fiscal year – we forecast WPI and CPI to average 5.4% and around 7%, respectively, in FY 14-15 (FY 13-14 average so far – WPI: 5.9%, CPI: 9.6%).
• After its surprise January rate hike, we expect the Reserve bank of India (RBI) to stay on hold in April, while the new government’s economic policies and monsoon trends will likely have considerable influence on monetary policy in H2. Meanwhile, tight liquidity conditions have kept short-term interest rates high. Longer-term interest rates also stayed elevated and moved sideways (10y IGB: 8.8%).
