NSE - WEEKLY NEWS LETTERS ✍ TOP NEWS OF THE WEEK Economics for Everyone: Purchasing Managers' Index - The Purchasing Managers' Index is an indicator of the economic health of the manufacturing sector. The PMI is based on five major indicators: new orders, inventory levels, production, supplier deliveries and the employment environment. The purpose of the PMI is to provide information about current business conditions to company decision makers, analysts and purchasing managers. Purchasing Managers Indexes are economic indicators derived from monthly surveys of private sector companies. The data for the index are collected through a survey of 400 purchasing managers in the manufacturing sector on different fields, namely, production level, new orders from customers, speed of supplier deliveries, inventories, order backlogs and employment level. Respondents can report better, same or worse conditions than previous months. For all these fields the percentage of respondents that reported better conditions than the previous months is calculated. The percentages are multiplied by a weighing factor and are added.

FDI flows into India to rise to 2.5% of GDP in 5 years: UBS - : FDI inflows into the country is likely to rise to 2.5 per cent of GDP over the next five years, helped by economic growth and ongoing structural reforms, said a report by UBS Securities India. The foreign direct investments into India have nearly doubled over the past decade to USD 42 billion, which was 1.9 per cent of GDP in 2016-17. "Post 2014 general election, FDI inflows saw a compound annual growth rate of 11 per cent versus a dip of 6 per cent seen over the previous 5 years," UBS said. "We expect FDI inflows to India to rise further to 2.5 per cent of GDP over the next 5 years," added the foreign brokerage. UBS noted that unlike China, where the government has phased out FDI-favoured policies, India will be increasingly recognised as a favoured destination by overseas investors "if growth is accompanied with continuous structural reforms". Interestingly, the report said that over the last couple of years, India has recorded a pickup in FDI inflows to the manufacturing sector.

Historically such investments have been more towards the service sector.

Fiscal deficit touches 92.4 per cent of budget estimates at July-end - India’s fiscal deficit in July end came at Rs 5.05 lakh crore or 92.4% of the budgetary estimates for 2017-18 as against 73.7% in the corresponding period last fiscal. For this fiscal, the government has set a target of 3.2% of the GDP. The fiscal deficit is the gap between expenditure and revenue, which for the whole fiscal has been pegged at Rs 5.46 lakh crore. Experts point out that the increase in government’s expenditure is mostly due to the early presentation of the budget and subsequent front-loading.The government’s capital expenditure rose by a robust 33% in the first four months of this fiscal. Moreover, major subsidies are estimated to have grown by 30% in the same time

period,� said Aditi Nayar, Principal Economist, ICRA Ltd. The government's revenue receipts improved at Rs 2.91 lakh crore during April-July period, which works out to be 19.2% of the target of Rs 15.15 lakh crore for the whole year. In the comparable period last fiscal, revenue receipts comprising taxes and other items were 18.6 % of the target.

FDI jumps 37% to $10.4 billion during April-June 2017 - Foreign direct investment into the country grew by 37 per cent to USD 10.4 billion during the first quarter of the current fiscal, DIPP said today. According to the figures of the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, India had received USD 7.59 billion FDI during April-June 2016-17. The main sectors which attracted the highest foreign inflows include services, telecom, trading, computer hardware and software and automobile. Bulk of the FDI came in from Singapore, Mauritius, the Netherlands and Japan. The government has announced several steps to attract foreign inflows. The measures include liberalisation of FDI policy and improvement in business climate. Foreign investments are considered crucial for India, which needs around USD 1 trillion for overhauling its infrastructure sector such as ports, airports and highways to boost growth. A strong inflow of foreign investments will help improve the country s balance of payments situation and strengthen the rupee value against other global currencies, especially the US dollar. The DIPP through its 'Make in India' twitter handle also stated that FDI equity inflow in manufacturing sector grew by 31 per cent to USD 4.19 billion during April-June this fiscal.

Tepid credit growth: RBI data missing non-bank, debt markets - Though there's no denying that credit growth continues to decline, the RBI data on sectoral credit growth shows only one side of the story as credit per se has been expanding through non-banking channels, primarily in the debt market, said a report. During the week to August 4, there was an incremental credit degrowth of Rs 1.1 trillion, according to the RBI data. This comes after a record low full year credit growth in FY17 when credit growth slipped to the lowest in the past six decades at 5.1 per cent.

This was the lowest since fiscal 1953 when it grew a tepid 1.8 per cent. "Sectors reporting decline in loan funds in listed corporates may contradict with increase exhibited in RBI sectoral credit deployment, but this only shows that credit has flown to unlisted MSMEs. Overall, this augurs well for banks who are de-risking and reworking their model for a better tomorrow," said the report.

Quarterly headline inflation in first half to be between 2-3.5%: RBI - The Reserve Bank of India, in its second bi-monthly Monetary Policy Committee meeting, has projected quarterly average headline inflation in the range of 2-3.5 per cent in the first half of the year and 3.5-4.5 per cent in the second half. In its outlook, the central bank said the actual outcome for the first quarter has tracked projections. Looking ahead, as base effects fade, the evolving momentum of inflation would be determined by the impact on the CPI of the implementation of house rent allowances under the 7th central pay commission; the impact of the price revisions withheld ahead of the GST and the disentangling of the structural and transitory factors shaping food inflation," said the minutes of the meeting -- held on August 1-2 -- which were published on Wednesday. The inflation trajectory has been updated taking into account all these factors and incorporates the first round impact of the implementation of the HRA award by the Centre, RBI said. ✍ TOP ECONOMY NEWS
