For 2018, IMF estimated the growth of the Indian economy at 7.3% and projected the growth rate to go up to 7.7% in IMF is of the view that low global crude oil prices, slower pace of monetary tightening and fall in domestic inflationary pressures will provide support to the growth prospects of the Indian economy. An interim finance minister got appointed for second time in the absence of the incumbent finance minister. The interim minister will present the upcoming Budget This has happened as the incumbent finance minister is said to be in the U.S. for the treatment of an illness.

It said a sustained recovery of private investment is crucial to lift medium-term growth. India has started bilateral talks on the modalities of tariff concessions with China. India is under pressure to reduce duties on at least 80% of its imports from China under a mega trade agreement Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) that covers 16 countries. 3

8 Regulatory Updates in India The Union cabinet approved setting up of the national bench of the appellate tribunal for disputes under the Goods and Services Tax (GST). The body (GSTAT) will be the first common forum of dispute resolution between the Centre and states. Also, it will be an adjudication authority on distinct orders passed by different state-level appellate authorities on the same issue of law. GSTAT bench will be located in Delhi and presided by the president along with two technical member one each from the Centre and state. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) made amendments to Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) regulations wherein now foreign companies in defence, telecom, information & broadcasting, and private security sectors will not require the central bank s approval to open branch offices. These entities need to have an approval of the regulator and the ministry concerned. RBI proposed to relax rules for entry of new players in the retail payment systems. RBI is doing this to give a boost to innovation and competition. RBI grants authorisation to nonbanks for setting up and operating payment systems. By the end of 2018, there were 89 authorised non-bank Payment System Operators (PSOs). Exporters could get incentives based on criteria such as research and development, product-specific clusters and production pattern under a five-year foreign trade policy (FTP). The FTP will be released later in 2019, according to media reports. 8
9 Regulatory Updates in India (contd..) A committee on special economic zones (SEZ) suggested that certain sectors such as electronics are showing high domestic demand and should have a plan for import substitution. For SEZs focussed on services including information technology, medical tourism and financial services, the panel said the government may not have to completely change the existing policies but design measures to make them more attractive for investors. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is tightening the rules for developers to bid for road projects under the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) mode. This is being done in an effort to disqualify weak, non-performing and incapable developers from winning projects. NHAI has already imposed certain filters like missing at least two construction milestones in past projects, physical progress not commensurate with the funds released, and failure to maintain a highway in spite of two rectification notices. 9
10 Global News/Economy According to a report from the National Association of Realtors, U.S. existing home sales fell 6.4% to an annual rate of 4.99 million in Dec 2018 as against a gain of 2.1% to a revised rate of 5.33 million (5.32 million originally reported) in Nov This marked the lowest level since Nov European Central Bank left its key interest rates and forward guidance unchanged in its latest policy meeting. The main refinance rate is currently at a record low of 0% and the deposit rate at -0.40%. The marginal lending facility rate is at 0.25%. The interest rates were last raised in Jul 2011 by 25 basis points. The central bank stated that the interest rates are likely to remain at their present levels at least through the summer of The same may extend as long as it is necessary to ensure the continued sustained convergence of inflation to levels that are below, but close to 2%, over the medium term. The National Bureau of Statistics showed China's economy expanded at the weakest pace in around three decades in The trade war with the U.S. has hurt business activity and sentiment. Full-year growth slowed to 6.6% in 2018, which is the weakest pace of expansion since 1990, but in line with expectations. On a quarterly basis, gross domestic product grew 6.4% YoY in the fourth quarter of 2018, which is slower than 6.5% expansion in the previous three months and the weakest since the global financial crisis in The Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept its monetary policy unchanged and maintained interest rate at -0.1% on current accounts that financial institutions maintain at the bank. Also, BoJ asserted that interest rates will remain at ultra low levels for an extended period of time. 10

However, U.S. government s partial shutdown and weak global growth forecast by the International Monetary Fund eroded much of the gains. European markets mostly gained on expectations of positive outcome from U.S.-China trade talks scheduled for next week. However, concerns over Brexit and economic growth limited the upside. While International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered its forecast for global growth in the current year; the ECB President expressed concerns about the euro zone economy. Asia Asian markets mostly closed in the green as positive developments occurred in the U.S.- China trade relations. Investors also became optimist after the Chinese Finance Minister indicated that the Chinese government would raise its fiscal spending to support economic growth. Bank of Japan also mentioned that it would continue with its ultra-easy monetary policy. This has raised investors confidence in economic growth.
12 Global Debt (U.S.) US 10-Year Treasury Yield Movement Jan 23-Jan 24-Jan 25-Jan Source: Thomson Reuters Eikon Yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasuries fell 3 bps to close at 2.75% from the previous close of 2.78%. U.S. Treasury prices grew prompted by worries over slowing global growth and trade tensions between China and the U.S. A record-long U.S. government shutdown and comments from the European Central Bank President indicating rise in eurozone s economic risks added to the gains. Gains were extended after U.S. home resales fell to the lowest level since Nov However, gains in U.S. equity markets and decline in U.S. initial jobless claims in the week ended Jan 19, 2019 to the lowest level since 1969 limited the upside. 12

Weak global economic data also raised concerns over global growth slowdown. Safe haven appeal of the bullion increased after the IMF trimmed its global growth forecast. Brent Crude Brent crude prices traded lower after the IMF cautioned of sluggish global economic growth. The economic slowdown in China, indicated by the weakest GDP growth in three decades in 2018, raised concerns over fuel demand. Baltic Dry Index The Baltic Dry Index fell on the back of lower capesize and panamax activities. 13
