OVERVIEW OF ECONOMY

The Indian economy has emerged as a bright spot in the world economy, becoming one of the fastest growing large economies in the world. The 7.6 per cent growth in the GDP at constant market prices in 2015-16, according to the advanced estimates of the Central Statistics Office, compares favourably with growth in the previous three years; 7.2 per cent in 2014-15, 6.6 per cent in 2013-14 and 5.6 per cent in 2012-13. It is noteworthy that this growth is estimated to be achieved despite subdued global demand that dampened India’s exports significantly, and two consecutive below-normal monsoons that impacted farm output and productivity.

The macroeconomic stability has improved substantially with the continuance of fiscal prudence, lower inflation, lower current account deficit, and robust foreign exchange reserves. The year 2015-16 witnessed the government doing a fine balancing act, i.e. meeting the requirements of higher untied devolution to states and Union Territories as per the recommendations of the Fourteenth Finance Commission, and, keeping fiscal prudence while also stepping up capital expenditure. The current year also experienced moderation in general price level, with significant decline in the price of Indian basket of crude oil and commodity prices, coupled with astute food supply management policy of the Government. Low levels of current account deficit coupled with moderate rise in capital inflows resulted in accretion in foreign exchange reserves by US$ 10.6 billion in the first half of 2015-16. India’s foreign exchange reserves were at US$ 351.5 billion as on February 5, 2016. All this shows that the Indian economy has effectively weathered the global challenges, and the near term growth prospects appear bright
