2 Will the budget focus on fiscal maths, election or inflation? The Finance Minister (FM) Arun Jaitley will present NDA s fourth budget under the current term on February 1, This year FM faces a unique dilemma of balancing growth and inflation amid rising crude oil prices and bond yield. We believe that the government is likely report a fiscal deficit target in the range of % of GDP, higher than budgeted target of 3.2%. However, the effect of the slew of tax reforms would be seen in the form of rising revenue from FY19 onwards. Overall we expect (1) push in infrastructure spending to revive capex cycle), (2) developmental schemes to push rural economy and (3) providing sops /relaxation in income tax slabs / tax rate to boost consumption. Amidst waning tailwinds, reforms likely to provide support The government has been enjoying the fortunate tailwinds like falling crude oil prices, bond yield and inflation in the last 2-3 years. As a result of these factors, fiscal deficit was coming down as % of GDP. However, with rising crude oil prices and bond yield, the government is now in a tougher spot to manage growth amid inflation. However, the array of reforms likes GST (stable GST rates likely to push collections from FY19 onwards); better tax compliance and digitization are likely to keep the government s kitty in a healthier position to fund development and growth. Also, disinvestment targets and RBI dividend may be upped in order to lower fiscal gap. Rural economy and affordable housing to remain the concurring theme The government would continue its focus on rural economy and infrastructure development with schemes like MNREGA, affordable housing, roads, irrigation, interest subvention, credit support for small businesses, etc. We expect more measures in the upcoming budget to remove distress from rural economy. However, these measures in the form of subsidies like food (expansion of MSP across categories), interest (affordable housing) and fuel (crude oil touching ~70$) are likely to put stress on the fiscal prudence. Major changes in taxation measures unlikely We believe that any major change in corporate taxation is unlikely (while various industrial bodies continue lobbying for various tax sops and rebates), as the government s focus will be to maintain fiscal discipline. In the personal taxation space, government may offer minor relief/ exemptions to boost consumption, especially from the bottom of the pyramid. Budget conviction picks With a focus on boosting rural and affordable housing space, we expect consumption sector would continue to be a direct beneficiary from this budget. We expect FMCG, consumer durables, retail and building material sectors to benefit going ahead. We prefer companies like ITC, HUL, Maruti, etc. in this space. We also expect the government s impetus on housing sector and companies like, GIC Housing and DHFL to remain our best play.
