3 Highlights The CII Business Confidence Index (CII-BCI) remained almost unchanged at 51.2 for April-June 2013 quarter as compared to the previous quarter. GDP growth is expected to lie in a range of per cent for by 47.8 per cent of the respondents, while 36 per cent of them expect GDP to decelerate below 6 per cent for the said year. Worryingly, as far as WPI inflation is concerned most of the respondents (40 per cent) expect it to lie above 7 per cent for the current fiscal. 60 per cent of respondents expect fiscal deficit to lie in a range of per cent of GDP in , while 51 per cent expect current account deficit in a range of per cent of GDP in the current fiscal. Most of the respondents expect gold prices to decline moderately in , while most of them expect crude oil prices to increase moderately. Most of the respondent firms expect both repo rate and CRR to be cut by 50 basis points during the current fiscal. Large number of respondents (45.2 per cent) expect their domestic investments to decline or show no change during the first quarter of the current fiscal, while 43.9 per cent expect them to increase during the quarter. In a sign of improving capacity utilization, most of the respondents (48.3 per cent) expect it to remain above 75 per cent in the first quarter of the current fiscal. The survey reveals that most of the respondents expect increase in their sales, new orders and value of production in the first quarter of , while inventory levels, credit availability and employment are expected to remain largely unchanged. Overall, expectations for pre-tax profits are encouraging for the 1QFY14 as there has been an increase in the proportion of respondents who expect it to augment from fourth quarter of FY13. 1
4 Over 56.8 per cent of the respondents experienced an increase in the electricity & fuel cost and wages & salaries during January-March 2013, while close to 70.0 per cent of the respondents reported no change in the cost of credit. With regards to raw material cost, majority of them (89.1 per cent) found it to be either unchanged or increased. Expectations for the April-June are found to be on similar lines except for the credit cost as relatively a larger proportion of respondents (18.7 per cent) expect it to decline as compared to the previous quarter. Export and new orders are expected to increase in 1QFY14 as reported by a higher proportion of respondents, due to positive developments in US and Asian market economies. Imports are also expected to surge in 1QFY14 due to robust domestic demand. Expected Exchange Rate to remain above Rs. 54 mark by end-march In the 83 rd Business Outlook Survey Domestic Economic/Political Instability, High Levels of Corruption and Infrastructure & Institutional Shortages emerged as the three topmost concerns of most firms. 2
5 I. Business Confidence Index CII Business Confidence Index (CII-BCI) remained almost unchanged at 51.2 for April-June 2013 as compared to the previous quarter. The reading for the January- March 2013 quarter had risen above the psychological 50-level mark to 51.3, after dipping to 49.9 in the October-December 2012 quarter. This status-quo in the index value mirrors the air of uncertainty still lingering over the India Inc regarding the present business prospects. Additionally, it also belies the hopes of an early turnaround as was expected by many economy watchers. The respondents in the survey were asked to provide a view on the performance of their firm, and the economy based on their perceptions for next quarter. The CII-BCI is then constructed as a weighted average of the Current Situations Index (CSI) and the Expectation Index (EI). The Expectation Index (EI) which reflects the expectations of the respondents for April-June 2013 quarter weakened by 0.9 points from the level in the previous quarter. 3

7 II. General Business Prospects Growth & Inflation GDP expected to recover to a range of per cent in , while WPI inflation to lie above 7 per cent Expected Economic Growth in % - 7.0% - 8.0%, %, 3.7 > 8.0%, % - 7.0%, 11.2 <6.0%, 36.0 Above 7.0%, 40.0 Expected WPI Inflation in <5.0%, % - 5.5%, %- 6.0%, 29.6 GDP growth is expected to lie in a range of per cent for by 47.8 per cent of the respondent firms, while 36 per cent of firms expect GDP to decelerate below 6 per cent for the said year. This is in line with CII expectations for GDP to lie between per cent for the current year. Worryingly, as far as WPI inflation is concerned most of the respondent firms (40 per cent) expect it to lie above 7 per cent for the current fiscal which is way higher than our forecast of per cent. Additionally, 33 per cent of respondent firms expect inflation to lie in a range of per cent for the current year. 6.0%- 6.5%, %, %- 6.5%,
8 The Twin Deficits- Fiscal & Current Account 60 per cent of respondents expect fiscal deficit to lie in a range of per cent of 5.0 per cent of GDP in the current fiscal Almost 60 per cent of the respondent firms expect fiscal deficit to lie in a range of per cent of GDP in as against the budgeted 4.8 per cent of GDP for the year per cent of respondents see the fiscal deficit lying above 5.5 per cent of GDP in the current fiscal. The upside risks to fiscal deficit are high this year given the fact that sluggish GDP output would adversely impact the tax collections and the ambitious disinvestment target would be at risk due to the not-so-favorable market conditions. The current account deficit (CAD) continues to remain a major problem for the policy makers. As per the survey, majority of the respondent firms (51 per cent) expect current account deficit to lie in a range of per cent of GDP, while 33.3 per cent expect it to exceed 5 per cent of GDP in the current fiscal. This is way higher than the per cent range deemed sustainable by RBI %, 12.6 Above 6.0%, %- 5.5%, 30.2 Expected Current Account Deficit in Expected Fiscal Deficit in <3.5%, 1.9 >5.5%, %-4.0%, 13.8 <4.0%, 1.9 GDP in , while 51 per cent expect current account deficit in a range of %- 4.5%, %- 5.0%, %-5.5%, %-5.0%, %-4.5%,
9 Commodity Price Movements- Oil & Gold Most of the respondents expect gold prices to decline moderately in , while most of them expect crude oil prices to increase moderately 38.8 per cent of the respondent firms expect gold prices to decline moderately in as compared to the last year s prices, while 28 per cent and 25 per cent expect the prices to remain same and increase moderately respectively over the same time period. On the other hand, most of the respondent firms (42.8 per cent) expect crude oil prices to increase moderately in the current fiscal. Gold Crude Oil 7
10 Monetary Policy Response Most of the respondent firms expect both repo rate and CRR to be cut by 50 basis points during the current fiscal Majority of the respondent firms (53.5 per cent) expect repo rate to be cut by 50 basis points (bps) during the current fiscal year, while most of the respondents (46.1 per cent) expect CRR to be cut by 50 bps per cent of respondent firms expect repo rate to be cut by 100 bps during the year, while only 14.2 per cent expect the cut to be more than 100 bps. 8
11 III. Business Prospects Capacity Expansion & Capacity Utilization Spending on capacity expansion by most of the respondents show no change in 1QFY14, while capacity utilization is expected to remain healthy Reflecting the sluggishness in the current economic situation, the respondent firms spending on capacity expansion has remained lukewarm. The survey revealed that most of the respondent firms (49.7 per cent) expect no change in their spending on capacity expansion in April-June 2013 quarter, while only 31.1 per cent of respondents expect it to increase during the said quarter. Encouragingly, most of the respondents (48.3 per cent) expect capacity utilization to lie in a range of per cent in the first quarter of , which is indeed an encouraging sign as it indicates that firms expect demand to recover in the months to come. 9

21 V. Export and Import Trends Volume of Exports and New Orders Export and new orders are expected to increase in 1QFY14 as reported by a higher proportion of respondents In the fourth quarter of , more than half (52.9 per cent) of the respondent firms recorded no change in export volumes, while 28.8 per cent recorded an increase and rest posted a decline. This shows that the respondent firms were largely able to maintain their exports volumes due to selling in new markets other than the traditional ones.

25 VII. Coverage & Methodology CII s 83 rd Business Outlook Survey is based on sample survey of firms covering all industry sectors, including micro, small, medium and large enterprises from different regions. The survey also enumerated responses across industry groups both in public and private sectors engaged in manufacturing and services sector. The survey was conducted from April-June Majority of the respondents (57.2 per cent) belonged to large-scale firms, while 9.9 per cent were from medium-scale firms and 27.3 per cent and 5.6 per cent each were from small-scale and micro firms respectively. Sectoral break up shows that 60.9 per cent of the respondents were from manufacturing sector while 36.6 per cent and 2.5 per cent were from services and primary sector respectively. CII-BCI is calculated as a weighted average of the Current Situation Index (CSI) and the Expectation Index (EI), with greater weight given to EI as compared to CSI. These indices are based on questions pertaining to performance of the economy and respondent s firm. Respondents are asked to rate the current and expected performance on a scale of 0 to 100. A score above 50 indicates positive confidence while a score above 75 would indicate strong positive confidence. On the contrary, a score of less than 50 indicates a weak confidence index. In the construction of the two sub-indices, the highest weight is given to the questions related to the performance of the individual firm, and the lowest weight is assigned to the questions on the economy. The weights are assigned on the basis of the premise that the average respondent would possess more detailed and accurate knowledge on the current and expected performance of his own firm than the economy as a whole. ****************** 23
