Finance Ministry to remain watchful for CAD, rupee

28 May 2014 Evaluate

Finance Ministry has emphasized that despite some improvement on macro-economic front, it will still remain watchful for the Current Account Deficit (CAD) as well as the rupee because global markets are still volatile.

India’s Current Account Deficit (CAD) narrowed sharply to $1.2 billion, or 0.2 percent of GDP in the January-March quarter of FY14 as compared to $18.1 billion, or 3.6 percent of GDP in the same quarter of previous fiscal. The contraction in CAD was mainly driven by significantly narrowing in trade deficit, coupled with a rise in net invisibles' receipts. While, Indian rupee appreciated to around Rs 58 per dollar due to high foreign capital inflows and improvement in CAD.

Furthermore, newly appointed Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has also hinted at some big decisions in the next two months that will revive investor confidence. Finance Minister said that restoring the pace of growth, containing inflation and fiscal consolidation will remain the key focus area for Finance Ministry.  On the inflation versus growth debate, Finance Minister replied that there should be balancing act between inflation and growth.

The Reserve Bank has raised lending rate three times since September’13 in order to tame price rise through cooling demand. Although tight monetary stance helped to crush some prices pressure, the apex bank’s move is adversely impacting the country’s economic growth. The investment and demand is not showing any sign of recovering owing to the prevailing high interest rates in the economy. Indian economy’s growth is likely to remain at sub-5% level in FY14.
