India’s current account surplus moderates to $15.5 billion in Q2: RBI

31 Dec 2020 Evaluate

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its latest report ‘Developments in India’s Balance of Payments during the Second Quarter (July-September) of 2020-21’ has showed that India’s current account surplus moderated to $15.5 billion (2.4 per cent of GDP) in Q2 of 2020-21 from  $19.2 billion (3.8 per cent of GDP) in Q1 of 2020-21; a deficit of $ 7.6 billion (1.1 per cent of GDP) was recorded a year ago (i.e. Q2 of 2019-20).

According to the RBI, the narrowing of the current account surplus in Q2 of 2020-21 was on account of a rise in the merchandise trade deficit to $ 14.8 billion from $ 10.8 billion in the preceding quarter. Besides, it said that net services receipts increased both sequentially and on a year-on-year basis, primarily on the back of higher net earnings from computer services.

The report further noted that private transfer receipts, mainly representing remittances by Indians employed overseas, declined on a y-o-y basis but improved sequentially by 12 per cent to $20.4 billion in Q2 2020-21. Besides, net outgo from the primary income account, primarily reflecting net overseas investment income payments, increased to $9.3 billion from $8.8 billion a year ago.
