आज रिज़र्व बैंक ने अक्तूबर-दिसंबर 2018 में औद्योगिक आउटलुक सर्वेक्षण (आइओएस) के 84वें चक्र के परिणाण जारी किए। इस सर्वेक्षण में क्यू3-2018-19 के लिए भारत के विनिर्माण क्षेत्र में कंपनियों द्वारा कारोबारी परिदृश्य के गुणात्मक मूल्यांकन और क्यू4-2018-191 के लिए उनकी प्रत्याशाओं को कैपचर किया गया है। सर्वेक्षण के इस चक्र में 1,267 कंपनियों से प्रत्युत्तर प्राप्त किए गए।
विशेष:
-
क्यू3:2018*19 में मांग स्थितियों की मिश्रित तस्वीर देखने को मिली-2018-19 की तुलना में उत्पादन और ऑर्डर बुक्स में शिथिलता के लक्षण दिखाई दिए;क्षमता उपयोग में प्रत्युत्तरों का स्तर उतना ही रहा जितना पिछली तिमाही में था; निर्यात के संबंध में उत्तरदाताओं की सोच सकारात्मक थी।
-
समग्र वित्तीय स्थिति के संबंध में उत्तरदाताओं की भावनाएं थोड़ी अस्पष्ट थीं, जो आंतरिक निधियों और बाहर के स्त्रोतों से मिलनेवाले वित्त की उपलब्धता को लेकर उनकी चिंता को दर्शाता था।
-
भले ही आंतरिक लागत का दबाव (कच्ची सामग्री और वेतन पर व्यय) कम हुआ हो लेकिन मूल्य निर्धारण शक्ति की अनुपस्थिति के कारण सर्वेक्षण के पिछले चक्र की तुलना में लाभ मार्जिन घट गटा था।
-
भारतीय विनिर्माण क्षेत्र में समग्र कारोबारी भावनाओं में कमी पाई गई, जैसा कि कारोबार मूल्यांकन सूचकांक (बीएएफ)2 में दर्शाया गया है, जो क्यू3:2018-19 में 110.0 से घटकर 107.1 पर आ गया है।
-
क्यू4;2018-19 के लिए प्रत्याशाओं का जहाँ तक संबंध है, उत्तरदाताओं में मांग की स्थितियों के परिदृश्य को लेकर आशावादिता पाई गई.
-
वित्त की सहज उपलब्धता की प्रत्याशाओं को लेकर समग्र वित्त स्थिति की भावनाओं में सुधार दिखा.
-
बिक्री कीमतों को लेकर परिदृश्य में आशावादिता भले ही कम हुई थी परंतु सामग्री की लागत घट जाने के कारण (वित्त, कच्ची सामग्री और वेतन व्यय) लाभ मार्जिन में सुधार की गुंजाइश है.
-
क्यू4; 2018-19 में कारोबार प्रत्याशा सूचकांक, जो क्यू3;2018-19 में 115.0 पर था, बढ़कर 116.2 हो गया था.
