India’s CAD likely to be around 5% this fiscal: Rangarajan

26 Mar 2013 Evaluate

India’s current account deficit (CAD) for 2012-13 is expected to be around 5% of the GDP, as per the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) Chairman C Rangarajan. He expressed his hopes that on the back of improvement seen in exports in the last few months, CAD will likely come down in the fourth quarter of the current financial year, ending March 31, though third quarter data will be higher, which is due to be released at month-end.

Trade deficit for the month February has also fallen to 10-month low of $14.9 billion, mainly on improving exports and a sharp drop in imports. CAD, the difference between inflows and outflows of foreign currency, had touched a record high of 5.4% of GDP in the July-September quarter.

Further, expressing hope that the capital flows would be adequate to cover the CAD, Rangarajan said ‘there could be periods of mismatches in capital flows. But for the year as a whole, capital flows would be adequate. I do believe that the capital flows next year would be adequate to cover the current account deficit.’
