NITI Aayog vice chairman Arvind Panagariya said the government's move to demonetise the economy will help check inflation and there will be a surge in bank deposits. 22
4 Indian Economy The IMF supported India's efforts to fight corruption through the currency control measures, but stressed taking care to minimise disruptions in the economy. The CMIE estimated the cost of withdrawing high-denomination currency notes to wipe out black money from the country at about `1.28 lakh crore during the 50-day window till December 30. S&P retained India's rating at 'BBB-' with a stable outlook and ruled out any upgrade in two years, citing weak public finances. Moody's affirmed India's sovereign rating at 'Baa3' with a positive outlook as it expects policymakers to continue reforms to achieve balanced growth and reduce the government's debt load. Fitch re-affirmed its "negative" outlook for India's banking sector, saying the financial standing remained "fragile" without bigger capital injections and that the government's action on banknotes could end up having a mixed impact. Fitch Ratings lowered India's GDP growth forecast for this fiscal to 6.90% from 7.40% per cent, saying there will be "temporary disruptions" to economic activity post demonetisation. Moody's said demonetisation is beneficial for the Indian government and banks but implementation challenges of this unprecedented move will disrupt economic activity and weigh on GDP growth for a few quarters. The World Bank advised India to reduce subsidies and import duties to improve competitiveness and become an export powerhouse. RBI announced following measures to manage surplus liquidity conditions due to surge in deposits by applying an incremental cash reserve ratio (CRR) as a purely temporary measure, as under: o The CRR remains unchanged at 4% of outstanding net demand and time liabilities (NDTL); o On the increase in NDTL between September 16, 2016 and November 11, 2016, scheduled banks shall maintain an incremental CRR of 100%, effective the fortnight beginning November 26, As the incremental CRR is intended to be a temporary measure to drain excess liquidity in the system, it shall be reviewed on December 9, 2016 or even earlier. 23
5 o RBI has separately revived the Guarantee Scheme to enable deposit of withdrawn bank notes balances with it or at currency chests and get immediate value. This measure should also facilitate banks' compliance with the incremental CRR. Banks reported to RBI that exchange/deposits of old notes effected between November 10-27, 2016 amounted to `8,44,982 crore (exchange amounted to `33,948 crore and deposits amounted to `8,11,033 crore) while the public withdrew `2,16,617 crore from their accounts.
