Level of confidence of Indian companies declines in February: Markit survey

14 Mar 2017 Evaluate

The level of confidence of Indian companies declined in February from those recorded four months ago. According to the Markit Business Outlook survey, just 16 per cent of firms expect output to expand over the course of the next year, compared with 25 percent in October 2016, the lowest reading of the 12 countries for which composite outlook data were available. Besides, the expectations of weaker growth in new business inflows and job creation in India are expected to remain relatively muted.

The survey said that new business is anticipated to rise over the course of the next 12 months, though confidence is at its lowest mark since the global financial crisis. Indian enterprises foresee new projects in the pipeline, strong client demand and the possible introduction of the goods & services tax as potential growth drivers for the year ahead. On the other hand, it noted that competitive pressures, government policies, client defaults, and uncertainty in global markets are seen as threats to the outlook.

On the cost inflation front, the survey said that cost inflation expectations have been revised lower, in line with decisions by the central bank not to cut rates. Further, it added that goods producers are projected to face more intense rises in cost burdens than their services counterparts, though in both cases inflation anticipations are weaker than in October.
