Introduction

Since the Reserve Bank’s Second Quarter Review (SQR) of October 25, 2011, the
global economic outlook has worsened significantly. The recent European Union (EU)
summit agreement did not assuage negative market sentiments, thereby increasing the
likelihood of persistent financial turbulence as well as a recession in Europe. Both
factors pose threats to emerging market economies (EMEs), including India.
Significantly, despite these developments, crude oil prices remain elevated.

On the domestic front, growth is clearly decelerating. This reflects the combined impact
of several factors: the uncertain global environment, the cumulative impact of past
monetary policy tightening and domestic policy uncertainties.

Both inflation and inflation expectations are currently above the comfort level of the
Reserve Bank. However, reassuringly, inflationary pressures are expected to abate in
the coming months despite high crude oil prices and rupee depreciation. The growth
deceleration is contributing to a decline in inflation momentum, which is also being
helped by softening food inflation


Global Economy
The global economic situation continues to be fragile with no credible solution as yet to
the immediate euro area sovereign debt problem. At the EU summit on December 8-9,
the European leaders agreed on a new fiscal compact, involving stronger coordination
of economic policies to strengthen fiscal discipline. While the agreement is necessary
for medium and long-term sustainability of the euro area, its ability to resolve short-term
funding pressures was questioned by markets. Q3 euro area growth, at 0.8 per cent,
was anemic and 2012 growth is now expected to be weaker than earlier projected.




                                                                             www.capitalheight.com

                                                                            Phone- (0731)4295950



Reflecting these projections, the European Central Bank (ECB) cut its policy rate twice
in the last two months, and also implemented some non-standard measures. By
contrast, growth in the US in Q3 of 2011 was better than in Q2, although still
substantially below trend.

Growth in EMEs is also moderating on account of sluggish growth in advanced
economies and the impact of monetary tightening to contain inflation. In view of the
slowing down of their economies, Brazil, Indonesia, Israel and Thailand cut their policy
rates, while China cut its reserve requirements. EME currencies have also come under
varying degrees of downward pressure as a result of global risk aversion and financial
stress emanating from the euro area.


Domestic Economy
GDP growth moderated to 6.9 per cent in Q2 of 2011-12 from 7.7 per cent in Q1 and
8.8 per cent in the corresponding quarter a year ago. The deceleration in economic
activity in Q2 was mainly on account of a sharp moderation in industrial growth. On the
expenditure side, investment showed a significant slowdown. Overall, during the first
half (April-September) of 2011-12, GDP growth slowed down to 7.3 per cent from 8.6
per cent last year.

Industrial performance has further deteriorated as reflected in the decline of the index of
industrial production (IIP) by 5.1 per cent, y-o-y, in October 2011. This was mainly due
to contraction in manufacturing and mining activities.

The contraction was particularly sharp in capital goods with a y-o-y decline of 25.5 per
cent, reinforcing the investment decline story emerging from the GDP numbers.




                                                                             www.capitalheight.com
info@capitalheight.com
                                                                            Phone- (0731)4295950




Other indicators also suggest a similar tendency, though by no means as dramatic as
the IIP. The HSBC purchasing managers' index (PMI) for manufacturing suggested
further moderation in growth in November 2011. However, PMI-services index
recovered in November from contractionary levels in the preceding two months.
Corporate margins in Q2 of 2011-12 moderated significantly as compared with their
levels in Q1. The decline in margins was largely on account of higher input and interest
costs. Pricing power is evidently declining.

On the food front, the progress of sowing under major rabi crops so far has been
satisfactory, with area sown under food grains and pulses so far being broadly
comparable with that of last year.


Inflation
On a y-o-y basis, headline WPI inflation moderated to 9.1 per cent in November from
9.7 per cent in October, driven largely by decline in primary food articles inflation. Fuel
group inflation went up marginally. Notably, non-food manufactured products inflation
remains elevated, actually increasing to 7.9 per cent in November from 7.6 per cent in
October, reflecting rising input costs. The new combined (rural and urban) consumer
price index (base: 2010=100) rose further to 114.2 in October from 113.1 in September.
Inflation in terms of other consumer price indices was in the range of 9.4 to 9.7 per cent
in October 2011.

Reassuringly, headline momentum indicators, such as the seasonally adjusted month-
on-month and 3-month moving average rolling quarterly inflation rate, show continuing
signs of moderation.




                                                                             www.capitalheight.com
info@capitalheight.com
                                                                          Phone- (0731)4295950


Fiscal Situation
The central government’s key deficit indicators worsened during 2011-12 (April-
October), primarily on account of a decline in revenue receipts and increase in
expenditure, particularly subsidies. The fiscal deficit at 74.4 per cent of the budgeted
estimate in the first seven months of 2011-12 was significantly higher than 42.6 per cent
in the corresponding period last year (about 61.2 per cent if adjusted for more than
budgeted spectrum proceeds received last year).


Money, Credit and Liquidity Conditions
The y-o-y money supply (M3) growth moderated from 17.2 per cent at the beginning of
the financial year to 16.3 per cent on December 2, 2011, although still higher than the
projected trajectory of 15.5 per cent for the year. Y-o-y non-food credit growth at 17.5
per cent on December 02, 2011, however, was below the indicative projection of 18 per
cent. Consistent with the stance of monetary policy, liquidity conditions have remained
in deficit during this fiscal year. The Reserve Bank conducted open market operations
(OMOs) on three occasions in November-December 2011 for an amount aggregating
about 24,000 crore to ease liquidity conditions. However, further OMOs will be
conducted as and when seen to be appropriate.


Monetary Measures
On the basis of the current macroeconomic assessment, it has been decided to:

      Keep the cash reserve ratio (CRR) unchanged at 6 per cent; and
      Keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged
      at 8.5 per cent.




                                                                           www.capitalheight.com
info@capitalheight.com
                                                                           Phone- (0731)4295950




Consequently, the reverse repo rate under the LAF will remain unchanged at 7.5 per
cent and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate at 9.5 per cent


Outlook
Global growth for 2011 and 2012 is now expected to be lower than earlier anticipated.
Increased strains in financial markets on the back of growing concerns over euro area
sovereign debt, limited monetary and fiscal policy, high unemployment rates, weak
housing markets and elevated oil prices are all contributory factors. These factors have
also contributed to moderating growth in the EMEs. As a consequence of all-round
slower growth, inflation has also started declining, both in advanced countries and
EMEs. Industrial activity is moderating, driven by deceleration in investment, which is a
matter of serious concern. Consequently, the headline inflation projection at 7 per cent
for March 2012, as set out in the FQR, was retained in the SQR. With moderation in
food inflation in November 2011 and expected moderation in aggregate demand, the
inflation projection for March 2012 is retained at 7%. The Reserve Bank will make a
formal numerical assessment of its growth and inflation projections for 2011-12 in the
third quarter review of January 2012.


Guidance
While inflation remains on its projected trajectory, downside risks to growth have clearly
increased. The guidance given in the SQR was that, based on the projected inflation
trajectory, further rate hikes might not be warranted. In view of the moderating growth
momentum and higher downside risks to growth, this guidance is being reiterated. From
this point on, monetary policy actions are likely to reverse the cycle, responding to the
risks to growth. However, it must be emphasized that inflation risks remain high and



                                                                            www.capitalheight.com
info@capitalheight.com
                                                                                                           Phone- (0731)4295950




inflation could quickly recur as a result of both supply and demand forces. Also, the
rupee remains under stress. The timing and magnitude of further actions will depend on
a continuing assessment of how these factors shape up in the months ahead

RBI MONETARY POLICY REVIEW Special Report By www.capitalheight.com

  • 1. Mid – Quarter Monetary Policy Review www.capitalheight.com
  • 2. info@capitalheight.com Phone- (0731)4295950 CONTENTS Introduction Global economy Domestic economy Monetary measures Outlook Guidance www.capitalheight.com
  • 3. info@capitalheight.com Phone- (0731)4295950 Introduction Since the Reserve Bank’s Second Quarter Review (SQR) of October 25, 2011, the global economic outlook has worsened significantly. The recent European Union (EU) summit agreement did not assuage negative market sentiments, thereby increasing the likelihood of persistent financial turbulence as well as a recession in Europe. Both factors pose threats to emerging market economies (EMEs), including India. Significantly, despite these developments, crude oil prices remain elevated. On the domestic front, growth is clearly decelerating. This reflects the combined impact of several factors: the uncertain global environment, the cumulative impact of past monetary policy tightening and domestic policy uncertainties. Both inflation and inflation expectations are currently above the comfort level of the Reserve Bank. However, reassuringly, inflationary pressures are expected to abate in the coming months despite high crude oil prices and rupee depreciation. The growth deceleration is contributing to a decline in inflation momentum, which is also being helped by softening food inflation Global Economy The global economic situation continues to be fragile with no credible solution as yet to the immediate euro area sovereign debt problem. At the EU summit on December 8-9, the European leaders agreed on a new fiscal compact, involving stronger coordination of economic policies to strengthen fiscal discipline. While the agreement is necessary for medium and long-term sustainability of the euro area, its ability to resolve short-term funding pressures was questioned by markets. Q3 euro area growth, at 0.8 per cent, was anemic and 2012 growth is now expected to be weaker than earlier projected. www.capitalheight.com
  • 4. info@capitalheight.com Phone- (0731)4295950 Reflecting these projections, the European Central Bank (ECB) cut its policy rate twice in the last two months, and also implemented some non-standard measures. By contrast, growth in the US in Q3 of 2011 was better than in Q2, although still substantially below trend. Growth in EMEs is also moderating on account of sluggish growth in advanced economies and the impact of monetary tightening to contain inflation. In view of the slowing down of their economies, Brazil, Indonesia, Israel and Thailand cut their policy rates, while China cut its reserve requirements. EME currencies have also come under varying degrees of downward pressure as a result of global risk aversion and financial stress emanating from the euro area. Domestic Economy GDP growth moderated to 6.9 per cent in Q2 of 2011-12 from 7.7 per cent in Q1 and 8.8 per cent in the corresponding quarter a year ago. The deceleration in economic activity in Q2 was mainly on account of a sharp moderation in industrial growth. On the expenditure side, investment showed a significant slowdown. Overall, during the first half (April-September) of 2011-12, GDP growth slowed down to 7.3 per cent from 8.6 per cent last year. Industrial performance has further deteriorated as reflected in the decline of the index of industrial production (IIP) by 5.1 per cent, y-o-y, in October 2011. This was mainly due to contraction in manufacturing and mining activities. The contraction was particularly sharp in capital goods with a y-o-y decline of 25.5 per cent, reinforcing the investment decline story emerging from the GDP numbers. www.capitalheight.com
  • 5. info@capitalheight.com Phone- (0731)4295950 Other indicators also suggest a similar tendency, though by no means as dramatic as the IIP. The HSBC purchasing managers' index (PMI) for manufacturing suggested further moderation in growth in November 2011. However, PMI-services index recovered in November from contractionary levels in the preceding two months. Corporate margins in Q2 of 2011-12 moderated significantly as compared with their levels in Q1. The decline in margins was largely on account of higher input and interest costs. Pricing power is evidently declining. On the food front, the progress of sowing under major rabi crops so far has been satisfactory, with area sown under food grains and pulses so far being broadly comparable with that of last year. Inflation On a y-o-y basis, headline WPI inflation moderated to 9.1 per cent in November from 9.7 per cent in October, driven largely by decline in primary food articles inflation. Fuel group inflation went up marginally. Notably, non-food manufactured products inflation remains elevated, actually increasing to 7.9 per cent in November from 7.6 per cent in October, reflecting rising input costs. The new combined (rural and urban) consumer price index (base: 2010=100) rose further to 114.2 in October from 113.1 in September. Inflation in terms of other consumer price indices was in the range of 9.4 to 9.7 per cent in October 2011. Reassuringly, headline momentum indicators, such as the seasonally adjusted month- on-month and 3-month moving average rolling quarterly inflation rate, show continuing signs of moderation. www.capitalheight.com
  • 6. info@capitalheight.com Phone- (0731)4295950 Fiscal Situation The central government’s key deficit indicators worsened during 2011-12 (April- October), primarily on account of a decline in revenue receipts and increase in expenditure, particularly subsidies. The fiscal deficit at 74.4 per cent of the budgeted estimate in the first seven months of 2011-12 was significantly higher than 42.6 per cent in the corresponding period last year (about 61.2 per cent if adjusted for more than budgeted spectrum proceeds received last year). Money, Credit and Liquidity Conditions The y-o-y money supply (M3) growth moderated from 17.2 per cent at the beginning of the financial year to 16.3 per cent on December 2, 2011, although still higher than the projected trajectory of 15.5 per cent for the year. Y-o-y non-food credit growth at 17.5 per cent on December 02, 2011, however, was below the indicative projection of 18 per cent. Consistent with the stance of monetary policy, liquidity conditions have remained in deficit during this fiscal year. The Reserve Bank conducted open market operations (OMOs) on three occasions in November-December 2011 for an amount aggregating about 24,000 crore to ease liquidity conditions. However, further OMOs will be conducted as and when seen to be appropriate. Monetary Measures On the basis of the current macroeconomic assessment, it has been decided to: Keep the cash reserve ratio (CRR) unchanged at 6 per cent; and Keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 8.5 per cent. www.capitalheight.com
  • 7. info@capitalheight.com Phone- (0731)4295950 Consequently, the reverse repo rate under the LAF will remain unchanged at 7.5 per cent and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate at 9.5 per cent Outlook Global growth for 2011 and 2012 is now expected to be lower than earlier anticipated. Increased strains in financial markets on the back of growing concerns over euro area sovereign debt, limited monetary and fiscal policy, high unemployment rates, weak housing markets and elevated oil prices are all contributory factors. These factors have also contributed to moderating growth in the EMEs. As a consequence of all-round slower growth, inflation has also started declining, both in advanced countries and EMEs. Industrial activity is moderating, driven by deceleration in investment, which is a matter of serious concern. Consequently, the headline inflation projection at 7 per cent for March 2012, as set out in the FQR, was retained in the SQR. With moderation in food inflation in November 2011 and expected moderation in aggregate demand, the inflation projection for March 2012 is retained at 7%. The Reserve Bank will make a formal numerical assessment of its growth and inflation projections for 2011-12 in the third quarter review of January 2012. Guidance While inflation remains on its projected trajectory, downside risks to growth have clearly increased. The guidance given in the SQR was that, based on the projected inflation trajectory, further rate hikes might not be warranted. In view of the moderating growth momentum and higher downside risks to growth, this guidance is being reiterated. From this point on, monetary policy actions are likely to reverse the cycle, responding to the risks to growth. However, it must be emphasized that inflation risks remain high and www.capitalheight.com
  • 8. info@capitalheight.com Phone- (0731)4295950 inflation could quickly recur as a result of both supply and demand forces. Also, the rupee remains under stress.
