heavy purchases of Indian stocks on Friday, 30 May 2014. Gains in European and Asian stocks also

• Markit Economics today, 2 June 2014, said that the HSBC India Manufacturing PMI for May 2014
indicated that production volumes at Indian manufacturers continued to rise. Growth of both total
new orders and new export business accelerated over the month, leading to further job creation across
the sector, Markit Economics said. Up marginally from 51.3 in April to 51.4 in May, the seasonally
adjusted HSBC India Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) pointed to a slight improvement in
operating conditions and one that was weaker than the series average, Markit Economics said. Output
rose for the seventh consecutive month in May. That said, the rate of expansion was unchanged from
the modest pace registered in April. Panellists highlighted stronger increases in new orders, although
there were mentions that growth was stymied by power cuts and the elections. The latest rise in
production was broad-based by sector, with the sharpest expansion signalled by consumer goods
producers.

2. • May data highlighted further rises in incoming new work, marking a seven-month sequence of
expansion. Moreover, the pace of increase accelerated to the quickest since February. Those survey
respondents reporting higher new orders commented on the signing of new contracts and improved
demand from both domestic and foreign clients. Growth of order book volumes was registered
across the three broad areas of the manufacturing economy, led by consumer goods producers.
• New orders from abroad also increased during May, thereby stretching the current period of
expansion to eight months. New export business rose at a solid rate that was quicker than in April.
Surveyed firms reported having benefited from favourable exchange rates. Overseas demand
improved in two of the three sub-categories, the exception being investment goods.
• Staffing levels were raised in May, amid evidence of increased production requirements.
Employment growth has maintained a broadly steady trend pace in the current eight-month
expansionary sequence. All three monitored sub-sectors registered higher workforce numbers.
• Indian manufacturers indicated that purchasing activity increased further in May. Where input
buying rose, this was associated with new order growth. Nonetheless, the rate of expansion was only
slight and moderated since the previous month. Growth of quantity of purchases was noted across
the three market groups.
• Input costs continued to rise in May, albeit at the weakest rate in one year. There were reports of
higher prices paid for some raw materials, although a number of panellists reported successful price
negotiations with suppliers. Concurrently, output charges increased further. The rate of charge
inflation was, however, marginal and weaker than the series average.
• While stocks of purchases were broadly unchanged, post -production inventories increased in May.
Meanwhile, outstanding business rose further during the latest month, with monitored firms
reporting power outages.

3. • Commenting on the India Manufacturing PMI survey, Frederic Neumann, Co-Head of Asian Economic Research at
HSBC said: "The momentum in the manufacturing sector improved at the margin, thanks to higher domestic and
export order flows. However, output growth held steady as frequent power cuts forced firms to accumulate backlogs
at a faster pace. Encouragingly, input price pressures eased further, but with output prices still rising the RBI cannot
take down its inflation guards".
• India's gross domestic product (GDP) rose at steady pace of 4.6% in Q4 March 2014 same as in the previous
quarter. The GDP growth rose to 4.7% in the fiscal year ended 31 March 2014 (FY 2014) from 4.5% in FY 2013,
but remained below the advances estimate of 4.9% released in February 2014. The 'agriculture, forestry and fishing'
sector has shown a growth rate of 4.7% in FY 2014, as against the growth rate of 4.6% in the Advance Estimates.
• Fiscal deficit has declined to 4.5% of GDP in FY 2014 against 4.8% of budget estimates in February 2014 and 4.6%
of revised estimates in February 2014. The fiscal deficit has also declined from 4.9% of GDP in FY 2013.
• The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Saturday, 31 May 2014, announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has
decided to abolish all the existing nine Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoMs) and twenty-one Groups of
Ministers (GoMs). This would expedite the process of decision making and usher in greater accountability in the
system, the PMO said in a statement. The Ministries and Departments will now process the issues pending before
the EGoMs and GoMs and take appropriate decisions at the level of Ministries and Departments itself, the PMO
said. Wherever the Ministries face any difficulties, the Cabinet Secretariat and the Prime Minister's Office will
facilitate the decision making process, the PMO said.
• Finance minister Arun Jaitley vowed on Sunday, 1 June 2014, to uphold fiscal discipline, despite pressure on public
finances from figures showing the economy grew by less than 5% in the fiscal year just ended. In a post on his
Facebook page, Jaitley said pulling India out of its current economic malaise would involve fiscal rectitude as a
combination of monetary and fiscal policy. Slower GDP growth will imply lower tax buoyancy and a higher fiscal
deficit, Jaitley said. "We must move towards an era of fiscal discipline where we can reduce the fiscal deficit,
contain inflation and improve upon our growth rates", Jaitley said. Jaitley did not name any deficit numbers, but
said he would target fiscal discipline in the near term so as to maximise India's growth potential over the longer run.
"We must commit ourselves to this discipline. Short term disciplining till we reverse the present trend will give us
long term benefits," he wrote.

4. • The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is widely expected to keep its main lending rate viz. the repo rate
unchanged at 8% after a monetary policy review tomorrow, 3 June 2014, as the central bank waits for
further proof that inflation is under control. While high inflation rates have come down in recent months,
the central bank is waiting to see if they will flare up again. The RBI has said it wants the consumer price
index inflation rate to cool to 8% by January and further to 6% a year after that. The central bank will want
to see if the crucial monsoon rains this year will exacerbate or ease food price inflation. The RBI left the
repo rate unchanged at 8% after a monetary policy review on 1 April 2014 as consumer-price inflation
eased to a two-year low and as the rupee firmed up against the dollar.
• Jaitley is expected to table Union Budget for 2014-15 in Lok Sabha by July 2014. An interim budget was
presented by P. Chidambaram in February this year. Essentially, in the nature of a vote on account, the
interim budget was intended to get Parliament approval for expenditure to be incurred during the first few
months of fiscal year 2014-15 due to Lok Sabha elections.
