CAD likely to be around 4.2% level in 2012-13: Rangarajan

03 Jan 2013 Evaluate

As per the Prime Minister's Economic Advisor Council Chairman C Rangarajan, current account deficit is likely to be around the last year's level of 4.2 percent of the GDP for 2012-13 financial year. Expressing view on the contraction of current account deficit in second half of current fiscal, Rangarajan said, 'the export sector will be much better in the second half of this fiscal than the first half'.

Further, Rangarajan believes for the year as whole capital inflows will be adequate to cover CAD of the current fiscal year. In the past capital inflows though FDI, FII, external commercial borrowings or NRI deposits have been adequate to cover the current account deficit. On the rupee movement, he said that the mismatch between capital flows and current account deficit added pressure on the currency and so far this fiscal, capital inflow has remained adequate therefore, the downward pressure on the rupee is unlikely.

India’s current account deficit (CAD) hit an all time high of 5.4% of gross domestic product or $22.3 billion in the July-September period of 2012, mainly on the back of declining exports. The CAD represents the difference between exports and imports after considering cash remittances and payment. CAD was $18.9 billion in the same period a year ago and $16.4 in the first quarter of 2012.
