Developments in India’s Balance of Payments during First Quarter (April-June) of 2012-13
Date : Nov 12, 2012

Developments in India’s Balance of Payments during First Quarter (April-June) of 2012-13*

The data on India’s Balance of Payments (BoP) are compiled and published by the Reserve Bank on a quarterly basis with a lag of one quarter. This article covers the analysis of major developments in India’s BoP during the first quarter of 2012-13 on the basis of new format of BoP1.

In addition, the disaggregated data on invisibles for April-June 2012 (Q1) along with quarterly data for 2011-12 and annual data for the preceding two years are also being published as a part of this article (Attachment I & II).

Highlights of BoP during Q1 of 2012-13

During Q1 of 2012-13, a moderation in trade deficit due to sharper decline in imports growth as compared with exports growth coupled with improvements in secondary income,led to decline in current account deficit (CAD) in absolute terms as compared with Q1 of the previous year. However, as a proportion of GDP it rose to 3.9 per cent vis-à-vis 3.8 per cent in Q1 of the previous year. The latter has, inter-alia, been on account of slowdown in GDP growth and depreciation of Rupee, y-o-y, during the quarter.

  • On a BoP basis, growth in merchandise exports (y-o-y) recorded a decline of 2.6 per cent during Q1 of 2012-13 from 42.7 per cent during the corresponding quarter of 2011-12.

  • Imports growth also witnessed deceleration and declined by 3.6 per cent during Q1 of 2012-13 as against a growth of 41.8 per cent in the corresponding quarter of the preceding year.

  • With decline in imports growth sharper than decline in exports growth, the trade deficit narrowed down to US$ 42.5 billion in Q1 of 2012- 13 as compared with US$ 44.9 billion in Q1 of 2011-12. However, as a percentage of GDP, trade deficit widened to 10.0 per cent during the quarter as compared with 9.8 per cent in Q1 of previous year.

  • Net exports of services witnessed a decline of 13.0 per cent during Q1 of 2012-13 over Q1 of 2011-12 mainly due to lower growth in receipts led by ‘transport’, ‘travel’, ‘construction’, ‘insurance & pension services’ and ‘other services’.

  • Continued depreciation of exchange rate seems to have induced a pick-up in net secondary income (private transfers) receipts which rose by 13.8 per cent (y-o-y) to US$ 16.8 billion in Q1 of 2012-13 as compared with US$ 14.8 billion in Q1 of 2011-12.

  • The primary income account (mainly investment income) showed a net outflow of US$ 4.9 billion in Q1 of 2012-13, which was 35.2 per cent higher than the outflows recorded during the corresponding period of the previous year.

  • Consequently, the CAD at US$ 16.4 billion was lower in Q1 of 2012-13 than the corresponding quarter of the previous year (US$ 17.4 billion). However, as a proportion to GDP, CAD stood at 3.9 per cent as compared with 3.8 per cent (revised) in the corresponding quarter of previous year.

  • Net inflows under capital and financial account witnessed a decline primarily on account of moderation in foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and loans availed by banks and non-banks.

  • There was a net accretion to foreign exchange reserves of US$ 0.5 billion during Q1 of 2012-13 (excluding valuation) as compared with an increase of US$ 5.4 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2011-12, essentially reflecting deterioration in the capital and financial account.

1. Balance of Payments during Q1of 2012-13

India’s export performance which had lost momentum in the second half of 2011-12 continued to be subdued in 2012-13. There has been absolute decline in exports as the economic slowdown in developed countries further worsened particularly in EU countries with spill over impact on other emerging market economies. Slowdown in domestic economic growth coupled with sluggish exports prospects led to the contraction in imports growth during Q1 of 2012-13. Notably, import of gold and silver declined sharply during the quarter.

Inflows under capital and financial account during April-June 2012 witnessed a volatile trend and stood lower than the corresponding quarter of preceding year reflecting the uncertainty in the global financial market, disturbances from Euro Area crisis and downside risks of domestic economy. Net financial flows during the quarter were also impacted due to uncertainty about proposals relating to retrospective taxation on capital gains, imposition of General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR) to curb the use of shelters from tax evasion and taxation of short-term capital gains of foreign portfolio equity inflows. However, deregulation of interest rates on NRI rupee deposits and increase in ceilings on foreign currency deposits along with requirements of exporters to repatriate 50 per cent of their exports earning in rupee account led to improvement in capital flows particularly under banking capital.

Capital flows, which were insufficient to finance CAD in the previous two quarters i.e., Oct-Dec 2011 and Jan-Mar 2012, picked up in Q1 of 2012-13 to cover the current account gap besides adding marginally to the foreign exchange reserves. The developments in the major items of the BoP for Q1 of 2012-13 are set out below in Table 1.

Goods Trade

Merchandise Exports

  • On a BoP basis, growth in merchandise exports (y-o-y), declined by 2.6 per cent during Q1 of 2012- 13 as against a growth of 42.7 per cent in the same quarter of previous year.

  • Disaggregated exports data show that the manufacturing and POL product which together account for around 80 per cent of total exports declined by 3.3 per cent and 21.4 per cent respectively, during the quarter as against a robust growth of 36.1 per cent and 77.3 per cent in Q1 of previous year. Decline in manufacturing sector growth was led by decline in growth of Engineering Goods (Transport Equipments and Iron & Steel), Textile and textile products (Readymade garments) and Gems & jewellery.

  • In terms of destination, exports to European Union registered a sharp decline of 15.8 per cent. Exports to developing countries which could offset the lower demand from advanced countries in the previous year also recorded a fall of 4.9 per cent, during Q1 of 2012-13. Among the Asian countries, fall in exports was more prominent in case of Singapore (-42.7 per cent) and South Korea (-28.5 per cent). Decline in exports was also discernible in case of most of the African and Latin American countries.

Merchandise Imports

  • The slowdown in domestic economic activity and weakening exports prospects seem to have led to moderate decline in growth of merchandise imports. Merchandise imports on BoP basis declined by 3.6 per cent as against a rise of 41.8 per cent in Q1 of 2011-12 as imports of precious metal recorded absolute decline. There has also been moderation in the non-oil non-gold imports and that of POL stayed at the level as last year. Gold and silver imports declined sharply by 47.6 per cent as against a growth of 124.9 per cent in the corresponding quarter of last year. Non-oil non-gold imports moderated to around 2 per cent over the corresponding quarter of previous year. Oil imports accounted for 34.2 per cent of total imports during Q1 of 2012-13 (32.1 per cent in Q1 of 2011-12) (Chart 1).
c1
  • While the moderation in oil imports was largely a reflection of decline in international prices, decline in case of gold has been due to decline in the quantity imported. The price of Indian basket of crude oil at US$ 106.8 per bbl has been around 6 per cent lower than that in the same period in the preceding year (Chart 1). On the other hand, international gold prices on average remained above US$ 1,600 per troy ounce as compared with the level of around US$ 1,500 per troy ounce during the same period previous year.

  • Significant decline in gold imports during April- June 2012 over the corresponding quarter of the previous year is possibly a reflection of the impact of a rise in customs duty, the policy to restrain gold loans by NBFCs and rupee depreciation. It may be noted that despite increase in custom duty, spread of gold prices in India over the international price is about `1,000 per 10 gram which works out to around 3.8 per cent of the international price. In 1991-92, when sizeable quantity of precious metal was being brought in through illegal means, the spread of domestic price and international prices was about `1,450 that was more than 50 per cent of the international price of gold (Chart 2).
c2
  • At disaggregated level, within non-oil non-gold component of merchandise imports, slowdown was prominent in case of capital goods (machinery and electronic goods) and exports oriented items like ‘pearls, precious & semi precious stones’.

Trade Deficit

  • With sharper decline in imports growth than in exports growth, the trade deficit moderated to US$ 42.5 billion in Q1 of 2012-13 as compared with US$ 44.9 billion in Q1 of 2011-12, showing an improvement of 5.4 per cent on y-o-y basis (Chart 3). However in terms of GDP, trade deficit rose by 20 basis points (y-o-y) to 10.0 per cent in Q1 of 2012-13.
c3

Services

During the quarter, decline in growth of services exports along with rise in growth in services imports resulted in deterioration in net service balances during the quarter under review (Table 2).

  • During the quarter, while growth in services receipts on y-o-y basis, moderated to 2.0 per cent (27.4 per cent in Q1 of 2011-12), services payments witnessed a higher growth of 15.9 per cent largely on account of surge in other services. consequently, net services exports during the quarter declined by 13.0 per cent to US$ 14.2 billion (US$ 16.3 billion in Q1 of 2011-12). Decline in net services receipts was mainly on account of construction, financial services, telecommunication, information and other services.

Income

While net outflow on account of primary income widened, there has been an increase in net secondary income in Q1 of 2012-13 (Table 2). The significant rise under secondary income account may be attributed to weakening of Indian rupee which induced higher workers’ remittances for family maintenance.

Primary Income

  • Net outflow on account of primary income in Q1 of 2012-13 at US$ 4.9 billion was significantly higher than the level recorded in Q1 of 2011-12 (US$ 3.6 billion). Compensation of employees continued to record surpluses, albeit marginal, in Q1 of 2012-13 for the fifth successive quarter.

  • During Q1 of 2012-13, payments on account of investment income including other income rose by 14.5 per cent as against a decline of 1.8 per cent during the same period a year ago driven by higher interest payments under ECBs, short-term credits and NRI deposits as India has increasingly resorted to debt flows to finance its current account deficit.

  • In contrast, receipts on account of investment income including other primary income, largely representing earning on foreign currency assets, at US$ 1.4 billion recorded a decline of 24.6 per cent as compared to a decline of 27.5 per cent in the corresponding quarter mainly due to persistence of lower interest rate abroad.

Secondary Income

  • Secondary income (on a net basis), reflecting mainly the remittances from overseas Indians, at US$ 16.8 billion remained buoyant and recorded a growth of 13.8 per cent in Q1 of 2012-13 as compared with 12.7 per cent in Q1 of 2011-12.

  • NRI deposits, when withdrawn domestically, form part of personal transfers because once withdrawn for local use these become unilateral transfers and do not have any quid pro quo. During Q1 of 2012-13, the share of local withdrawals in total
    outflows from NRI deposits at 63.4 per cent was lower compared to that in the same period of previous year (Table 3).

  • Under personal transfers, the inward remittances for family maintenance accounted for 49.0 per cent of the total personal transfer receipts, while local withdrawals accounted for 46.4 per cent during Q1 of 2012-13 (Table 4).

Current Account

During the period, despite worsening of primary income account and net services, lower trade deficit coupled with improvement in the secondary income led to moderation in absolute size of current account deficit. In spite of moderation in CAD in absolute terms, CAD as a percentage of GDP stood higher at 3.9 per cent of GDP in Q1 of 2012-13 as compared with 3.8 per cent during the corresponding quarter previous year mainly due to lower GDP level in US$ term. As per our estimates CAD-GDP ratio in the range of 2.4-2.8 per cent is sustainable when economy is growing at the rate of 6-8 per cent, Thus, the current level of CAD-GDP ratio (3.9 per cent) is above the sustainable level.

  • CAD stood at US$ 16.4 billion in Q1 of 2012-13 as compared to US$ 21.7 billion during preceding quarter and US$ 17.4 in Q1 of 2011-12 (Chart 4).

Capital & Financial Account

Higher level of vulnerability in global financial markets led by Euro crisis and subdued domestic economic activities continued to impact the financial flows to India in Q1 of 2012-13. However, flows under NRI deposits revived during the quarter, following the policy relaxation governing such flows.

Net inflows under capital and financial account (excluding change in foreign exchange reserves) stood at US$ 16.8 billion in Q1 of 2012-13 as compared with US$ 23.8 billion during Q1 of 2011-12 (Table 5).

Capital Account

The capital account, which includes part of official transfers, purchase/sale of intangible assets like patents, copyrights, trademarks and other capital transfers recorded a marginal deficit of US$ 0.2 billion during Q1 of 2012-13 mainly on account of deficits in capital transfers on Government account

Financial Account

With a slowdown in the net FDI to India (inward FDI minus outward FDI), outflows under portfolio investment and decline in ‘loans to India’ by deposit taking corporations (Non-NRI Banking Capital) and by other sectors (ECBs), the net inflows under the financial account excluding change in reserves during April-June 2012 recorded a significant decline over the same period of previous year (Table 5). Net financial inflows declined to US$ 17.0 billion during Q1 of 2012-13 (US$ 24.1 billion during Q1 in previous year).

  • The gross financial inflows, excluding reserve changes, in Q1 declined significantly to US$ 111.5 billion during Q1 of 2012-13 (US$ 128.7 billion a year ago) and similarly gross financial outflows during the period were also lower at US$ 94.5 billion (US$ 104.6 billion a year ago).

  • On net basis, overall financial account (excluding changes in reserves) in Q1 of 2012-13 recorded a steep decline mainly on account of net outflows under portfolio investment and lower inflows under most of the items under capital account (Table 5).

  • Despite decline in FDI by India during the quarter as compared with the outflows recorded during the same period previous year, net FDI inflows witnessed a significant decline and amounted to US$ 6.2 billion as compared with US$ 12.4 billion in Q1 of 2011-12 primarily on account of decline in fresh FDI inflows to India.

  • Sector wise, the decline in gross FDI to India (i.e., inward FDI) during April-June 2012 was on account of lower FDI inflows almost in all sectors led by manufacturing, financial services, business services and communication services (Table 6).

  • Country wise, investment routed through Mauritius remained the largest component of gross FDI inflows to India in the first quarter of 2012-13, followed by the Netherlands and UK (Table 7).

  • Gross outward FDI flows moderated during Q1 of 2012-13 mainly on account of lower outflows under other capital (inter-company borrowing). In terms of sectors, there has been significant moderation in outward FDI was observed in ‘agriculture, hunting, forestry & fishing’, ‘financial insurance, real estate & business services’, ‘manufacturing’ and ‘wholesale, retail trade, restaurants & hotels’. Furthermore, sectors, viz. ‘financial, insurance, real estate & business services’ and manufacturing continued to account for more than 50 percent of total outward FDI during 2012-13 (Table 6).

  • Direction wise (i.e., in terms of recipient countries), investment going to the Singapore constituted the largest component of gross outward FDI during the period, followed by the Netherlands and the USA (Table 7).

  • During April-June 2012, the actual outward FDI in joint ventures (JVs) and wholly owned subsidiaries (WOSs) stood at US$ 2.2 billion, which was about 73 per cent of the investment made during the same period of previous year. During Q1 of 2012- 13, investment financed through equity improved to 45.3 per cent whereas the loan component registered a marginal decline over the corresponding period a year ago. Accordingly, the share of equity in total outward FDI increased to 45.3 per cent as compared to 43.3 per cent in the preceding year (Table 8).

  • Volatile trend of portfolio investment witnessed during last year continued during 2012-13. On a net basis, portfolio investment turned negative and amounted to (-) US$ 2.0 billion during the quarter as against the inflows of US$ 13.9 billion in Q4 of 2011-12 and inflows of US$ 2.3 billion during the corresponding quarter previous year.

  • Net loans during the quarter availed by banks were significantly lower at US$ 3.0 billion as compared to US$ 11.5 billion in Q1 of 2011-12 mainly due to lower drawdown of their foreign currency assets held abroad as well repayments of overseas borrowings.

  • Net loans availed by non-Government and nonbanking sectors (net ECBs) stood significantly lower at US$ 1.0 billion as compared with US$ 3.1 billion in Q1 of 2011-12 probably reflecting growing risk aversion in the wake of volatile exchange rates. Net inflows under short-term trade credit, however, witnessed improvement and stood at US$ 5.4 billion in Q1 of 2012-13 as compared to US$ 3.1 billion in Q1 of 2011-12.

  • Similarly, there has been a marked increase in inflows under currency and deposits of commercial banks, i.e., NRI deposits to US$ 6.5 billion in Q1 of 2012-13 as compared to inflow of US$ 1.2 billion during the same period previous year, inter alia, reflecting the impact of deregulation of interest rates on NRI rupee deposits.

  • ‘Other receivables/payables’ that includes leads and lags in exports, SDR allocation, net funds held abroad, advances received pending issue of shares under FDI and other capital not included elsewhere recorded a lower net outflow of US$ 0.4 billion during April-June 2012 as compared with a net outflow of US$ 6.8 billion in the preceding year (Table 9). ‘Lead & lag in exports’ also include trade credit extended by Indian exporters to non-residents.

Reserve Variation

There was net accretion of foreign exchange reserves to the extent of US$ 0.5 billion during April- June 2012 (Chart 5). In nominal terms (i.e., including valuation changes), foreign exchange reserves declined by US$ 4.7 billion during the quarter reflecting appreciation of US$ against the major international currencies. At the end of June 2012, the level of foreign exchange reserves stood at US$ 289.7 billion.

Difference between DGCI&S and Balance of Payments Imports

  • The data on imports based on DGCI&S (customs statistics) and the BoP (banking channel data) are given in Table 10. The difference between two sets of data are likely to get reduced when both the data sets would be later revised (Table 10).
