However, food inflation expected to come down in the 2 nd Half (H2) of the Year.

The Trade deficit for April-September was estimated at US$ 80.1 billion (`464, crore) which was lower than the deficit of 91.8 billion (`501, crore) during April-September With some visible improvement in the trade balance, Current Account Deficit is likely to show a significant correction.

Prospects for the Economy World Bank s latest India Development Updates, a twice yearly report on the Indian economy and its prospects states that India s growth potential remains high but its macroeconomic vulnerabilities high headline inflation, an elevated current account deficit, and rising pressure on fiscal balances from the depreciation of the rupee could impact the speed of economic recovery. Although output growth in the first quarter of the current fiscal year fell to 4.4 per cent, growth is expected to rebound strongly in the second half of FY2014 with core inflation trending down, a bumper crop expected in agriculture (where a 5 per cent increase in area sown is expected to raise agricultural growth to 3.4 per cent from 1.9 per cent a year ago), and exports likely to benefit substantially from the rupee s depreciation. Growth is expected to improve further in the medium term as strengthening exports support a recovery in industrial activity and new investment projects come on stream. The report expects real GDP to expand by 4.7 per cent this fiscal year (FY2014) before accelerating to 6.2 per cent in FY op.cit., RBI, Micro-economic and Monetary Developments, p India, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Fact Sheet on FDI 22 RBI Weekly Statistical Supplement, World Bank s, India Development Updates, October, 2013
