Is China’s pain India’s gain, Modi asks India Inc
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called bankers and industrialists to his residence on Tuesday to brainstorm on how India can manage global economic turbulence, including opportunities for Asia’s third-largest economy in China’s market and growth woes.
The morning meeting in New Delhi was attended by tycoons including industrialist Mukesh Ambani, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, RBI governor Raghuram Rajan, economists and state and private bank chiefs.
At the gathering, industry chamber ASSOCHAM told Mr. Modi policy makers needed to act fast to "bullet proof" India from global jitters — calling for a deep cut in interest rates and new duties to stop dumping of Chinese products such as steel.
The nation’s macroeconomic situation has improved considerably since the "taper tantrum" of 2013, not least thanks to lower prices for the commodities it imports. Then, inflation, for example, was at double digits - it has since halved.
The International Monetary Fund considers India’s economy a rare bright spot among emerging markets and Mr. Modi sees a chance to attract more foreign investment as money flows out of China.
But it will not be easy to turn China’s pain into India’s gain. Investors and corporates increasingly worry that Mr. Modi has not moved fast enough since taking office. Annual growth slowed to 7 per cent in the June quarter.
"Mr. Modi ran a successful State. He campaigned for 2 years saying he knew what to do. He has been there 15 months with the largest majority since independence yet little has happened," U.S. investor Jim Rogers told Reuters Trading India on Tuesday.
Mr. Rogers recently announced he had sold his India investments.
After farmer protests forced the government to drop a major land reform and opposition parties delayed a growth-boosting tax overhaul, expectations are growing that Mr. Modi will soon unveil new measures to make it easier for foreign money to enter India.
The government predicts India’s economy will grow at 8 per cent or more in 2015/16, prodded by government spending. Yet private investment has been slow to pick up, with banks and businesses hobbled by bad debts and high lending rates.
In the real economy, there are few signs of an major economic recovery. In the construction and diamond polishing industries, for example, there have been large layoffs.
ASSOCHAM called on Mr. Rajan to slash interest rates by up to 1.25 percentage points by March to help revive investment and growth.
