Infrastructure Push
There has been a clear thrust on infrastructure spending in the FY16 Budget. The main
focus areas of the government are roads and railways
100 smart cities
Other Reforms
Jan Dhan Yojana to provide basic banking accounts with a debit card to every
household in India
Digital India - To digitally connect all the villages in the country by 2018 with high
speed internet and provide most govt. services electronically; target net zero electronic
imports
Food Supply Management Actively liquidate excess food stocks to manage
volatility in food prices; muted hike in MSPs
Direct Benefit Transfer Direct cash transfer of LPG subsidies and move towards
direct cash transfer of food subsidy
For financial markets, the credibility of the Central bank is equally if not
In the last few years the RBIs credibility in managing a complex Indian
macro was challenged. Thats why INR was one of the worst performer
among EMs.
Dr Rajan is far more proactive than its predecessor. His past experience
helps him in better understanding of importance of markets to the
economy.
RBI under Rajan has ably supported the reforms process. There has been
clear communication of intent:
Restoring faith of foreign investors (To build war chest for future
headwinds)
Being a capital and oil deficit economy, Indias fortunes are far more closely linked to the
global macro-environment than what most people think. In fact, Indias merchandise tradeto-GDP is an overwhelming 53%!!
India has posted the second highest BoP surplus (USD60bn) in FY15 . This has helped the RBI
recoup much of the lost fx reserves and build a war chest against an impending Fed hike.
The fall in crude has significantly reduced fuel subsidies which in turn has provided much
needed fiscal space to the government to give infrastructure spending a major push
Fall in commodity prices have kept CAD in check despite strengthening non-oil non-gold
imports. We expect the CAD to remain benign in FY16 if oil prices remain supportive
Falling global commodity prices has also helped in reigning in inflation (in fact WPI is now in
outright deflation!!)
Net FDI inflows hit a record high of US$35bn
in FY15

There is a rising perception that Indian cyclical recovery is going to gain strength on
the back of capex recovery.
While the hopes are running high the prerequisites for sustainable capex recovery are
missing. Our assessment of 5 Cs which are essential for capex is as follows:
Capacity: The Capacity utilisation rates across sectors remains low. Asset
turnover ratio of Indian non financial corporates have seen deceleration in the
last two years.
Cost of capital: Remains high. Real interest rates are quite high while cost of
equity is high for those who are into asset creation businesses.
Confidence: Poor profitability has been a concern. The gap between RoEs and
Cost of capital remains quite narrow. Confidence has also likely been dented
owing to reduced visibility on medium term local and global growth
Capital availability: Financial slack in the system to fund the capex remains
limited. Impaired bank B/S is a prime concern. While foreign savings has
remained supportive, the more important variable i.e. domestic savings are slow
to recover.
The burden to kick start capex is on the government. Public sector capex will certainly
provide a near term bumpup. The push may come from Quasi Govt entities. That said,
states which are primarily responsible to do public capex have limited bandwidth
and resources to pursue meaningful capex.
That said, we acknowledge that in 2HCY15, there is going to be some pickup in capex 13
The absolute levels of monsoon do not matter. What really matters is:
Although rains have been very weak in July and there is no cumulative surplus left
as of yesterday, area under cultivation (especially of pulses and oilseeds) has
progressed very well up till now
MSP hikes for the Kharif marketing season has been muted

One of the most important data point to ascertain whether macro recovery will
take place is the growth in reserve money
Reserve money growth has been abysmal in the last 3 years, resulting in
extremely tight domestic liquidity, even at a time when investment demand has
been very subdued
However, going forward, we expect system liquidity to improve materially. This is
because, despite weak exports, we believe BoP is likely to post ~US$40bn worth
of surplus in the next 12 months
Given the large BoP surplus and the consequent forex reserve accretion, there is
a genuine case of adequate and better quality reserve money creation in the
next 12 months
Moreover, there are initial signs that financial
slack is being created in the

The process of high economic growth hinges critically on the generation of greater savings
and its channelization into productive investments
Indian households, who are traditionally the largest suppliers of capital to the economy, have
in recent years been using the capital to fund their own unproductive investments needs
rather than providing it to the corporate sector
This has been the primary cause of the sharp fall in Indias potential output and tight
domestic liquidity in the last few years
However, going forward, we believe that this aberration in household behaviour is likely to
reverse as financial assets become more attractive viz-a-viz gold and real estate
Although the headline savings-investment gap may not alter drastically, the composition is
likely to turn far more favourable
Moreover, while consumption is likely to be the primary driver of the economy for the next
12 months, this is likely to come on back of an improving household savings-investment
profile rather than a deteriorating profile as has been the case in the last few years.

Consumption will remain the prime growth driver at least for the next 12
months
Initial signs of terms of trade shifting from rural to urban are quite visible
Large BoP surplus and the consequent forex accretion will help system
Global:
Sharp rise in global interest rates leading to huge outflows
Firming up of global commodity prices (crude in particular)
Local:
Slower pace of reforms irrespective of the reasons
Very poor monsoon
Rural stress and State Elections (Bihar) forcing the government to turn populist,
thereby derailing the reforms process
No further rate cuts by the RBI
RBI and its stance on liquidity they do not seem to be in a mood to let
systematic liquidity to turn into surplus which could make monetary transmission
