Economy Review
The Finance Minister presented an interim budget with a revised fiscal deficit estimate of 4.6% of GDP, lower
than the budgeted estimate of 4.8%. Excise duty cuts were also announced for select cyclical sectors - capital
goods pertaining to the machinery and the electrical equipment sector, mobile handsets as well as two
wheelers, cars and SUVs. The two key underlying themes in the vote on account were that of fiscal
consolidation and industrial revival.
The macros are showing signs of improving. 3Q FY14 GDP growth of 4.7% was largely in-line with consensus
expectations. Industrial production growth for December declined 0.6%. Though GDP growth in FY14 is
expected to be below 5%, FY 15 should see growth improving to between 5% - 5.5%. We seem to have seen
the worst in the industrial downturn and manufacturing growth should return as the investment cycle revives.
Both the manufacturing PMI as well as services PMI increased in February 2014. The Manufacturing PMI
moved up to 52.5 from last month's 51.4 and the Services PMI moved up from 48.3 to 48.8.
Inflation prints – CPI at 8.8% and WPI at 5.1% respectively, were significantly lower than consensus
expectations. Vegetable prices have corrected sharply and were the primary driver behind lower inflation
prints. Core inflation remains sticky though, at 8.2%, and RBI remains concerned on this account. RBI is
expected to be extremely cautious as far as monetary easing is concerned and though CPI itself may trend
towards 8%, RBI may postpone any reduction in rates for the present.
The current account deficit (CAD) situation, which was alarming a few months back, has corrected
significantly. The CAD as a percentage of GDP for Q3 FY14 fell to 0.9% and is now expected at less 2% for FY
14. The improved CAD has been because of a shrinking trade deficit on account of lower oil and gold imports
and a pick-up in exports. Government's fiscal finances remain under pressure with lower than expected tax
collection and higher expenditure. The fiscal deficit for the period Apr 2013 -January 2014 stood at 101% of
the budgeted target.
On the whole the macro environment has begun to improve.

Outlook for equities
Indian equities gained about 3% in February on the back of better macros and improved corporate
performance. The third quarter BSE Sensex earning has been better than consensus estimates. While the
14% sales growth has been in line with expectation, EBIDT growth was significantly higher at 18%. At a sector
level, healthcare, autos and technology showed positive growth. Cement, infrastructure and capital goods
related sectors saw a drop in margins. There were also negative surprises from the PSU Banks, as
deteriorating asset quality impacted them. FIIs buying in February was moderate at USD$ 229 million. Though
domestic mutual funds were sellers to the extent of USD$ 194 million, Insurance funds were net buyers to the
extent of USD$ 240 million.
Market trends in March will be mainly determined by the underlying political narrative. The markets will also
watch to see if the improving trend in macros persists. Equity markets could see a pre election rally. We are
now positive on the long term prospects of equity markets, especially as the prospects of a stable
government at the centre have increased.
Outlook for debt
Bond markets were lackluster and broadly range bound in February and the benchmark security yields moved
in the range of 8.78% to 9.04%, indicating that there was a lot of speculative trading activity. The government
borrowing program for next year has been estimated at Rs 5,97,000 crores, with redemptions estimated at Rs
1,39,679 crores and debt switches estimated at Rs 50,000 crores. In spite of falling inflation the bond markets
remained cautious on account of this large borrowing program. Corporate bond spreads were at 65 bps.
As RBI continues to be concerned about the continuing high inflationary environment, we do not expect RBI
to ease rates in their April policy. We expect the 10 year government bond to trade in the range of 8.75% to
8.95% in the near term. Corporate bond spreads are expected to remain tight at 65 basis points as fresh
issuances are not expected.
