India advance estimate of FY2020 GDP expected at 5%

 

 

Indian Economic Update

 

  • The Government estimates have pegged Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth at 5.0% YoY for FY2020, expected to moderate sharply from the 6.8% YoY seen in FY2019, and in line with market expectations. A deceleration in consumption, investment and a decline in exports is expected to weigh on headline growth for this year.
  • Private consumption growth is expected to moderate to 5.8%. Gross fixed capital formation is expected to be anaemic at 1% YoY this fiscal. Exports are expected to show a minor contraction.
  • Gross Value Added (GVA) growth is also seen moderating to 4.9% YoY in FY2020 from 6.6% YoY in FY2019.
  • Core GVA growth (non-agriculture non-government spending growth) is expected to plunge to 4.6% YoY in FY2020 from a robust 7.0% last year, showing that much of the impetus to growth is being sustained by the Government’s expenditure push.
  • Industry growth is expected to take a sharp hit, decelerating to 2.5% YoY from 6.9% YoY in FY2019.
  • Services sector of the Indian economy is expected to lose some traction sequentially this fiscal, as slow consumption, a tedious financial sector clean up, and low offtake in real estate are expected to outweigh robust Government spending.
