GLOBAL MACROECONOMIC SCENARIO

The world economy proved more resilient than expected in 2023, despite significant monetary tightening and lingering policy uncertainties globally. Economic expansion in the latter half of 2023 exceeded expectations in the United States and several major emerging markets, driven by higher-than- anticipated government spending and retail consumption. Stability in employment and income levels was enhanced by an unexpected surge in labor force participation. Despite considerable central bank rate increases aimed at price stability, the economy showed resilience, supported by households in advanced economies utilizing savings accumulated during the pandemic.

The IMF reports global economic growth of 3.2% for 2023. Developed economies grew by 1.6%, while emerging and developing economies achieved a 4.3% growth rate, thereby averting a global recession. Inflation decreased gradually across most regions due to interest rate hikes.

Meanwhile, economic expansion remains modest by historical standards, constrained by high borrowing costs, reduced fiscal support, and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions. These factors have led to limited productivity growth and increased geo-economic fragmentation. [Source: IMF Report (April 2024)]

OUTLOOK

According to International Monetary Fund (IMF), the growth outlook for emerging economies is projected at 4.2% in 2024 and in 2025. In contrast, advanced economies are anticipated to expand by 1.7% and 1.8% in 2024 and 2025, respectively. While the world economy averted the worst-case scenario of a recession in 2023, a prolonged period of low growth looms large. Growth prospects for many developing countries, especially vulnerable and low-income countries, remain weak, making a full recovery of pandemic losses even more elusive.

New price pressures triggered by geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing tensions in Ukraine and conflicts in Gaza and Israel, could elevate interest rate forecasts and depress asset values, particularly where labor markets remain constrained and core inflation persists. Variations in the pace of disinflation across major economies may also provoke currency fluctuations that strain financial sectors. Monetary policy continues to focus on adjusting inflation to meet targets, setting the stage for sustainable growth over the medium term. Growth disappointments could also result from the real estate industrys worsening problems in China or, globally, from a disruptive shift to tax increases and spending cuts.

Source: IMF Report (April), UN Report INDIAN ECONOMY

Amidst a complex global economic environment and evolving geopolitical circumstances, Indias economic resilience continues to be a source of optimism. As the worlds fifth- largest economy, India is projected to retain its position as the fastest-growing major economy. During FY2023-24, Indias GDP growth remained relatively high at 7.8%, fueled by strong domestic demand, moderate inflation, a stable interest rate regime, and sufficient foreign exchange reserves. Furthermore, a strategic acceleration of economic reforms and increased capital expenditures facilitated construction activity and fostered significant employment opportunities within the country.

India effectively navigated inflationary pressures in FY2023- 24, which remain a significant challenge for many developed economies. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate exhibited a slight decline, reaching 5.69% (provisional) in December 2023 compared to 5.72% in December 2022. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) played a pivotal role by maintaining the policy repo rate at 6.50%, striving to achieve a balance between supporting economic growth and managing inflation. Additionally, Indias per capita Net National Income (NNI) at constant (2011-12) prices had an increase of 6.08%, rising from Rs 98,374 in FY2022-23 to Rs 1,04,550 in FY2023- 24. This growth in disposable income has resulted in a surge in household consumption across both urban and rural areas, thereby stimulating demand across various sectors.

On the supply side, industrial activity, particularly within the manufacturing sector, maintained its momentum. The Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for manufacturing remained robust in February-March, achieving a 16-year high in March. The services sector also exhibited robust growth across all categories, with the PMI for services consistently exceeding 60 during the same period, indicating sustained and substantial expansion.

OUTLOOK

In 2024, India is well-positioned to retain its status as the worlds fastest-growing major economy. Leveraging the advantages of its favorable demographic profile and advancements in both physical and digital infrastructure, India boasts a promising future outlook. Strategic increases in capital expenditures, coupled with proactive government policy initiatives such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes, are poised to generate further economic growth. The IMF projects a consistent expansion of the Indian economy at 6.8% in 2024. Indias robust economic prospects establish a strong foundation for further acceleration in the years to come.

RISKS & CONCERNS:

Global Economic Uncertainty:

Fluctuations in global markets, spurred by geopolitical unrest such as the conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, and Israel, possess the potential to cause sudden spikes in prices and tighten labor markets, leading to increased interest rates and diminished asset values. Variations in the rate of disinflation across major economies might trigger destabilizing currency fluctuations, placing stress on financial markets. Additionally, rising raw material costs and higher interest rates render capital expenditures more burdensome. As a global entity in capitalintensive industries, Dynamatic Technologies faces significant risks from these uncertainties, which could adversely affect its operational performance.

Intense Competitive Landscape:
