High fiscal and current account deficits impacting market confidence: IMF

02 Sep 2013 Evaluate

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that India's large fiscal and current account deficits (CAD) have impacted market confidence. In the previous fiscal, India’s CAD widened to a record high of 4.8 percent of GDP, while, fiscal deficit stood at 4.89 percent of the country’s GDP.

IMF said that high and persistent inflation, sizable un-hedged corporate foreign borrowing and reliance on portfolio inflows are longstanding vulnerabilities that have now been elevated as global liquidity conditions tighten, and thus clearly affecting the investors’ confidence. Overseas investors have pulled out nearly $2.5 billion from the Indian capital markets in August. Meanwhile, in June, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) had pulled out a record $ 7.5 billion from the Indian capital markets.

By adding further, IMF said that Indian economy is also battling with depreciating rupee, which has dropped over 23 percent since April and had recently touched a low of 68.80 to a dollar. The current economic situation of the country presents a challenge to the government, but also reflects an opportunity for it to continue with its policy efforts on a variety of fronts, it added. In the April to June quarter of current fiscal, the country’s economic growth slowed down to 4.4 percent, lowest in four years.
