Easing inflation opens up options for the RBIModerating inflation levels in December have provided much-
needed comfort to the central bank. CPI at 9.9% vs. 11.2% in Nov
and WPI at 6.2% vs. 7.5% reflect a sharp drop in primary inflation,
which augurs well for the RBIs monetary stance, but core inflation
remains sticky. On rates, while we expect a pause on the 28th
, we
do not rule out one last repo hike this fiscal if core inflation does
not head south. Our chart-of-the-week illustrates the sharp
divergence in between investment rates of major economies that
sowed the seeds of sustainable long-term growth. We started out
well enough in the 2000s, but chronic inflation has taken its toll.
On the global front, World Bank has raised global growth forecastsfrom 2.4% in 2013 to 3.2% in 2014 as it believes growth in the US,
China and Japan will pick up but will be sensitive to potential
turbulence from the slowdown in China and US taper this year.
Dec inflation levels have eased considerably:WPI inflation at 6.16%
was a positive surprise (RCMLe: 7.3%, Cons: 7.1%, Nov: 7.5%), almost
entirely driven by lower primary inflation even as Mfg./Fuel remained
largely stable. Retail inflation tells the same storydown to 9.9% from
11.2% in Nov. Sticky core inflation apart, the sharp dip is good news
and we expect a sustained downward trajectory on inflation
important for rates to come off. We maintain our expectations of a
pause on the 28th, but do not rule out one last uptick on the repo thisfiscal if core inflation does not head south.
World Bank expects better growth going forward:The World Bank
has increased its global growth forecast from 2.4% in 2013 to 3.2% in
2014, as it believes that Europe, US and Japan will pick up but will be
sensitive to potential turbulence from the slowdown in China and US
tapering this year. India is expected to see a strong growth revival
from 4.8% in 2013 to 7.1% in 2016, which will depend on political,
economic, monetary and fiscal conditions. China and Japan are the
only major regions that will see falling growth due to structural
changes in their economic reforms amidst a US taper this year.
ECB issuance picks up marginally: ECB issuance in Nov13 stood at
$2.2bn, implying marginal 13%MoM growth, as the INR depreciated by
~1.6% in Nov against 1.8% appreciation in Oct. On a YoY basis, ECB
issuance was up 62% backed by overseas acquisitions and telecom
investments, but the total for Jan-Nov13 increased merely 3% YoY.
OECD indicator updatefor Nov:The OECD indicator for India has
fallen to 97.71 in Nov from 97.76, indicating that economic recovery
will be prolonged and growth will be slow for now, while China's
figures reflect improvement from 99.40 to 99.51 MoM. Despite the
rupee stabilising, the OECD indicator has dropped for India, suggesting
a macro turnaround has a long way to go (as the turning point in the
indicator tends to precede changes in economic activity by about
six months).

Macro estimates
Fig 1 - Key macroeconomic estimates
Year to 31 March FY13 FY14E FY15E Comments
Real Indicators
GDP growth (%) 5.0 4.7 5.3
Growth may have bottomed out but overall business activity remains weak andrecovery could stretch well into FY15. Economic growth is likely to remainbelow-potential on elevated cost of funds until structural issues (directed ruraltransfers, rent-seeking in agri, etc.) are addressed. Estimate FY14 growth at4.7% with some recovery to 5.3% in FY15.
Agriculture growth (%) 1.9 3.6 2.5Bumper southwest monsoon bodes well for agri production in FY14 with ourgrowth estimate at 3.6%. However, the sharp upside in agri sector is unlikely tocontinue into FY15.
Industry growth (%) 2.1 1.6 3.1Industrial growth in FY14 is expected to be the lowest in 22 years, thanks tomuch weaker domestic and global demand. A marginal demand revival and lowbase should help support growth in FY15.
Services growth (%) 7.1 6.4 6.9 A prolonged slowdown would now hurt the Services sector which has hithertobeen comparatively resilient, and it would likely report a sub-7% print in FY14after more than a decade, with meaningful turnaround unlikely in the near term.
External Sector (US$bn)
Trade deficit (196) (156) (172)Sustained hike in import duties and implementation of quantitative-basedrestrictions would result in a 20% decline in trade deficit in FY14. However, apick-up in demand would likely boost imports in FY15.
Current Account Deficit (88) (44) (55)Sharply falling trade deficit along with steady software earnings would likelyresult in much-needed relief on the current account deficit (CAD) in FY14.
% to GDP (4.8) (2.6) (2.8)
External Debt 400 450 470 ECBs (Commercial Borrowings) remain the biggest component of external debt
in India, accounting for ~30% of overall liabilities. Overall levels remaincomfortable vs. peers.% to GDP 21.7 26.2 24.0
Exchange Rate
US$/INR - year end 54.3 62.0 65.0 The INR stabilised towards the latter part of the year on a sharp decline inimports and huge inflows via the central banks forex swap window.Expectations of a strengthened dollar on a potential US recovery along withdomestic growth (imports) revival would keep the INR under pressure in FY15.% depreciation 19.5 1.9 17.9
Monetary Indicators (%YoY)
Money supply 12.4 13.0 13.0 Inflationary pressures are rising and while some near-term relief is expected asfood prices come off, structural problems need addressing to lower inflationbeyond seasonal shifts. Rates therefore are likely to be stronger for longer.Inflation - WPI (Avg.) 7.7 6.5 5.5
Fiscal Indicators (%GDP)
Center's fiscal deficit 4.9 4.8 4.4We expect the Govt. to meet its fiscal target of 4.8% for FY14 led by sharpexpenditure cuts and subsidy deferral, even as tax collections are expected tosurprise negatively. Growth implications to be evident.
State fiscal deficit 2.7 2.7 2.7 Fiscal balances remain a matter of concern given SEB worries.

Dec WPI/CPI at 6.2%/9.9% YoY
Food getting cheaper; core might follow
Dec WPI inflation at 6.16% was a positive surprise (RCMLe: 7.3%, Cons: 7.1%, Nov:
7.5%), almost entirely driven by lower primary inflation even as Manufacturing/Fuel
have remained largely stable. Retail inflation tells the same story (released on 13 Jan)
down to 9.9% from 11.2% in Nov. Sticky core inflation apart (flat MoM), the sharp
dip is good news, albeit expectedly so
Much as this points to an easing of rates, we expect otherwise and view a sustained
downward trajectory on inflation as important for rates to come-off. We maintain our
expectations of a pause on the 28th
, but do not rule out one last uptick on the repo this
fiscal if core inflation does not head south.
Dec WPI/CPI inflation at 6.2%/9.9%a big positive:Dec WPI inflation came in at6.2% led by sharp relief on Primary inflation, even as Mfg. and Fuel remained stable.
Component-wise: (1) Mfg. inflation (wt. 65%) at 2.64% was a tad lower than our est.
of 2.8% and stood flat MoM, even as core inflation inched up marginally from 2.6%
in Nov to 2.64% in Dec. (2) Fuel & Power (wt.14.9%) declined marginally to 11.0%
(from 11.1% in Nov), led by a drop in LPG prices YoY even as diesel/petrol prices
went up. (3) Primary inflation came in much below expectations, declining sharply
to 10.8% (vs. 15.9% in Nov), thanks to ~30% MoM decline in vegetable prices (onion
prices down 42.4% MoM). Fruit, fibre, minerals and eggs, meat & fish prices also fell
by 6.5%, 3.5%, 3.1% and 1.5% MoM respectively. CPI inflation, released on 13 Jan,
also dropped from 11.16% in Nov to 9.9% in Dec, again driven by vegetable prices.
but core remains sticky: Core inflation remained flat for both the WPI (2.65% vs.2.6% in Nov) as well as the CPI (8.05% vs. 7.97% in Nov), a sticky point in an
otherwise seamless downward trajectory.
Historical revisions continue: The Oct13 WPI figure has been revised up to 7.24%from 7.0% earlier, in line with the trend witnessed over the last few months, while
Nov13 CPI has been revised down to 11.16% from 11.24% earlier.
Falling inflation; falling rates?:We maintain our stancethat its the downwardtrajectory that is relevant going forward as inflationary expectations matter more
than the headline figures. While there could be a pause on the 28th
, we would not
rule out one last hike in rates this fiscal. The theme remains stronger for longer.

World Banks Global Economic Prospects
Rich countries to get richer in 2014
The World Bank has increased its global growth forecast from 2.4% in 2013 to 3.2% in
2014, as it believes growth in the US, China and Japan will pick up but will be sensitive
to potential turbulence from the slowdown in China and US taper this year.
High-income nations are expected to grow richer with the World Bank increasing itsgrowth forecast from 1.5% in 2013 to 2.2% in 2014. Developing countries are
expected to pick up from 4.8% in 2013 to 5.3% in 2014, but this is slower than
previously expected due to the cool-off effect from pre-crisis growth levels.
In Asia, growth levels will ease to 7.2% in 2013, due to slower growth in Malaysia,Indonesia and Thailand led by weak commodities and policy tightening. China,
specifically, is expected to remain flat at 7.7% in 2013-14, and grow slower at 7.5%
for the next two years as structural changes in its economy and global financial
conditions will weigh on its investment and export demand. India is expected to see
a major growth revival from 4.8% in 2013 to 6.2%/6.6%/7/1% in 2014/2015/2016, if
fiscal and policy reforms are on track, election uncertainty is ruled out, inflation
levels are contained, and capital inflows remain adequate amidst a US taper.
The growth in developing Europe and Central Asia is expected to strengthen to3.5%/3.7%/3.8% in 2014/2015/2016, as European economies will benefit from
stronger exports, but this will be partly offset by weaker domestic demand due to
ongoing banking sector restructuring, tighter international financial conditions, and
ongoing or planned fiscal consolidation in several countries.

ECB/FCCB approvals at $2.2bn in Nov13
up by a mere 3%YoY in 2013TD
ECB issuance picks up marginally:ECB issuance in Nov13 stood at $2.2bn,implying a marginal 13%MoM growth, as the INR depreciated by ~1.6% in Nov
against 1.8% appreciation in Oct. On a YoY basis, ECB issuance was up 62% backed
by overseas acquisitions and telecom investments, but the total for Jan-Nov13
increased merely 3% YoY.
ECB/FCCB maturity at $5.2bn over FY14: ECBs worth $5.2bn are maturing duringQ4FY14, and FY15 adds another $17bn. The macro slowdown and unrelenting
currency risk could significantly hurt refinancing/payback of these maturing ECBs.
RBI amends ECB norms:The RBI had issued guidelines for Infrastructure sectorliberalisation in 2011, in which it had permitted infrastructure companies in India to
utilise 25% of fresh ECBs for refinancing of rupee loans availed from the domestic
banking system under the Approval Route. The sectors for this purpose include:
1) Energy, 2) Communication, 3) Transportation, 4) Water and sanitation, 5) Mining,
and 6) Social and commercial infrastructure. The RBI decided early this year that
under Transportation, for the purpose of ECB, Maintenance, Repairs and Overhaul
(MRO) will be treated as a part of airport infrastructure.These liberalisation
measures will likely improve capital flows in India, and more such norms are
expected given heavy redemptions in the near term.

OECD Leading Indicator: Update
India remains the sole laggard
India and China:The OECD indicator for India has fallen to 97.71 in Nov from 97.76,indicating that economic recovery will be prolonged and growth will be slow for
now, while Chinasfigures reflect improvement from 99.40 to 99.51 MoM.
Europe:Euro economies continued to perform better economically, though themain contribution comes in from Germany, as France still suffers de-growth. The
OECD indicator for the Eurozone has moved up to 100.84 in Nov from 100.73 in Oct.
Developed nations:US economic conditions are expected to improve as the Fedannounces the start of its tapering program, and this is reflected from a rise in OECD
figures to 100.93 in Nov from 100.82 in Oct. The UK indicator has also improved
from 101.14 to 101.21 in Nov, a growth recovery that is reflected in recent GDP
upgrades by the IMF (0.9% to 1.4% for 2013).
India outlook:Even though inflationary pressures moderated in Dec, productionlevels are still declining, reflecting a continued slowdown in the economy. The
central bank has kept policy rates high to bring inflation to comfortable levels and
ensure adequate liquidity in the system. Despite the rupee stabilising, the OECD
indicator has dropped for India, suggesting a macro turnaround has a long way to go
(as the turning point in the indicator tends to precede changes in economic activity
by about six months).

Key macro indicators
Average daily LAF borrowing over the last week has risen slightly to Rs404bn. The RBI
has taken several steps to ease liquidity, which include: (1) conducting a 28-day term
repo of Rs100bn on Friday, 17 Jan; and (2) an OMO announcement of Rs100bn for
Wednesday, 22 Jan. The RBI has also deferred the auction of Govt. dated securities of
Rs150bn scheduled for 15 Jan, as its cash position and funding requirements are at
comfortable levels. On rates, our base case remains that of a 25bps hike in Q4, which
we believe would cap the rate cycle (repo at 8%, MSF at 9%). The surprise on rates
needs to be maintainedwe do not expect the central bank to remain restricted to
policy dates for its rate stance. On the 28th
, however, we expect a pause.
Call-money rates rose to 8.25% from 8.19% last week.
Credit-deposit ratio rose to 76.73 from 75.77 a fortnight ago.
Investment-deposit ratio fell to 29.52 from 29.71 a fortnight ago.
Cash-deposit ratio fell to 4.95 from 5.16 a fortnight ago.
FX reserves increased to $293.3bn from $293.1bn a week ago.
Average daily borrowing at LAF increased to Rs404bn from Rs355bn last week.

Markets
Markets across the globe were down last week as US bank earnings disappointed and
investors waited for Chinese economic data that came in today (GDP growth of 7.7% in
2013 vs. official target of 7.5%). EMs were up on firm global stocks that boosted
sentiments, even as disappointing US unemployment data raised investor hopes that
the Fed would not accelerate taper cutsa major source of liquidity in Asian markets.
Domestic indices were largely up last week as inflation eased, providing some comfort
on rates. Sector-wise, Cap Goods and Oil & Gas moved up on expectations of better
earnings, but Telecom was down ~5% after RILs surprise decision to join the bidding
for the upcoming telecom spectrum auction. The rupee continued to appreciate by
~0.6% last week on the back of higher capital flows into the country.
