World and Indian Economy Overview
With the COVID-19 outbreak and Russias invasion of Ukraine, among other negative
shocks that have affected the world economy over the previous three years, the situation
is once again quite unclear. Financial markets have been shaken by the unexpected global
economic failures of two specialized regional banks in the United States in mid-March 2023
and the loss of confidence in Credit Suisse, a major international bank. Depositors and
investors have reconsidered the security of their holdings and have moved away from
institutions and investments that they perceive to be vulnerable.
According to the IMFs most recent assessment of the "World Economic
Outlook," growth will drop from 3.4% in 2022 to 2.8% in 2023 before leveling off at
3% in 2024. A particularly strong economic deceleration, from 2.7% in 2022 to 1.3% in
2023, is predicted for advanced economies. In a conceivable alternate scenario, the
financial system continues to be stressed, resulting in a reduction in advanced economies
growth below 1% and a worldwide growth rate of roughly 2.5% in 2023. On the back of
decreasing commodity prices, global headline inflation in the baseline is predicted to
decline from 8.7% in 2022 to 7% in 2023; however, underlying (core) inflation is predicted
to decline more slowly. In most circumstances, the restoration of inflation to target is
unlikely to occur until 2025. In spite of quick monetary tightening, inflation is proving
to be persistent in many important economies, especially due to the robustness of labor
markets in the face of a critical labor shortage. As a result, the majority of 2023 is
likely to see monetary policy stay restrictive. This will slow down economic growth and
probably raise unemployment rates across the board, but especially in the US and Europe.
Retail inflation in India, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, reached an
eight-year high in April 2022 and persistently above the RBIs upper tolerance limit of
6.0% throughout a sizable portion of the year. The RBIs Monetary Policy Committee (MPC)
unanimously decided to raise the repo rate by 40 basis points at an offcycle meeting in
May 2022. Additional rate increases followed, leading to the sixth continuous rate
increase since May 2022. During the fiscal year 2023 as a whole, the repo rate increased
by 250 basis points, reaching a level of 6.5%. The reverse repo rate, meanwhile, stayed
the same at 3.35%. As a result, in March 2023, retail inflation reached a 15-month low of
5.66%. The MPC reaffirmed its commitment to a gradual reduction of accommodating measures
in April 2023 while maintaining the repo rate at 6.5 percent. The base effect contributed
in part to the double-digit rise of 13.1% in Indias GDP during Q1FY2023. Due to rising
inflation and poor demand, growth slowed down in Q2FY2023 and Q3FY2023, hitting 6.2% and
4.5%, respectively. Growth returned to 6.1% in Q4FY2023, raising the overall growth rate
for the fiscal year to 7.2%. In FY2023, India will still be among the top economies with
the strongest growth rates worldwide. Due to slowdown in domestic consumption and other
external challenges, Indias GDP forecast for FY2024 was reduced by the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) from 6.1% to 5.9%.
Indias growth estimate for FY2025 was also lowered by the IMF by 50 basis points to
6.3%. India will continue to be one of the worlds fastest-growing major economies
notwithstanding these negative revisions. Due to solid macroeconomic fundamentals, the
Indian economy has shown extraordinary resilience in the face of the worsening global
scenario. India has become a desirable location for foreign investors thanks to measures
to encourage ease of doing business, skilled labor, and the abundance of natural
resources, as well as open FDI rules, a sizable domestic market, and expectations for
robust GDP development. India is therefore anticipated to experience relatively faster
growth in the future.
Financial Services Industry
India has a diversified financial sector undergoing rapid expansion, both in terms of
strong growth of existing financial services firms and new entities entering the market.
The sector comprises:
1. Commercial banks 2. Insurance companies
3. Non-banking financial companies 4. Co-operatives, pension funds 5. Mutual funds and
6. Other smaller financial entities
The Government has initiated various policies and schemes that are favorable for the
growth of the financial service sector. The Government and RBI combined have launched the
Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for MSMEs by issuing guideline to banks regarding collateral
requirements. It also introduced measures for setting up a Micro Units Development and
Refinance Agency (MUDRA).
The financial services sector has proven over the last two years that it is capable of
navigating unheard-of levels of instability. Financial services companies all around the
world, from real estate to insurance to investment management to banking and capital
markets, confronted the pandemic with amazing endurance and adaptability, assisting
individuals, groups, and governments in getting back on their feet.
But the ascent continues to be upward. The Ukrainian conflict, inflation, supply-chain
disruptions, and the potential for a regional or global recession are all recent
geopolitical and economic challenges. However, 2023 also promises to be a year in which
more regulations and requirements around transparency become market realities.
Non-Banking Financial Industry
According to a recent research from CRISIL, NBFCs are anticipated to see their AUM
increase 11 12% this fiscal year, reaching a four-year high of Rs 13 lakh crore. It is
also encouraging to note that the RBI and policymakers acknowledge the role that NBFCs
play in fostering genuine economic activity and satisfying credit demand, particularly for
the unbanked. Another encouraging development for the sector is the latest RBI Scale-based
regulations, which will boost NBFCs standing to parity with other public sector NBFCs. We
anticipate gaining additional operational flexibility under these new regulations to
accommodate the rising credit demand and support Indias economic expansion.
In 2023, non-bank lenders will concentrate on restoring growth by improving asset
quality supported by rising retail demand and liquidity, according to a recent analysis by
ICRA. The MSME sector and other growing sectors will see more participation from NBFCs as
part of the same. Additionally, more NBFCs will start investigating AI and machine
learning for services or full-fledged applications when 5G services are introduced in the
nation.
Its critical to overcome the major difficulties the NBFC sector is currently
experiencing if development is to continue in 2023. The recent change of the RBIs
securitization regulations, which say that loans with residual maturities of fewer than
365 days cannot be securitized, is one of these difficulties. Due to the shorter period of
gold loans and MFI loans, we do believe that this may have an effect on the amount of
securitization.
