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 India’s 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 company’s prospects.

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 India’s 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 economy’s performance of the first few months of this fiscal corroborates to early recovery.
