Current A/c bal. (4QFY13): - US$18.2bn

Short-lived happiness

Capital A/c bal. (4QFY13): US$20.5bn

Higher growth in exports and contraction in imports caused a sharp

moderation in the current account deficit (CAD) in 4QFY13. Steady
inflows under remittances and software exports also contributed in
narrowing of CAD to 3.6% of GDP. However, capital account surplus
narrowed due to contraction in other banking capital. We expect the
rupee to remain under pressure in the next one year.

Trade deficit narrows. During the quarter, exports grew 5.9% yoy, while
imports declined 1%, leading to a sharp moderation in trade deficit to
US$45.6bn (US$58.4bn in 3QFY13). This was the single biggest contributor
to the sharp moderation in CAD in 4QFY13.
Worker remittances, software exports firm. Workers remittances in the
quarter, at US$15.8bn, remained steady versus US$15.7bn in 3QFY13. This
component has risen exponentially (~8x) in the past decade. Continuing its
momentum, software services exports in 4QFY13 increased to US$17.1bn,
the highest ever in a single quarter.
Capital a/c surplus narrows on fall in banking capital. On account of
contraction in other banking capital (-US$6.4bn), the capital account surplus
narrowed to US$20.5bn versus US$31.5bn inflows in 3QFY13. It would
have declined further, had there not been strong portfolio inflow of
US$11.3bn.
External borrowings pick up. External commercial borrowings (ECBs) in
a quarter rose to US$4.2bn versus US$2.8bn in 3QFY13. NRI deposits also
rose marginally to US$2.8bn in the quarter.

CAD at 3.6% of GDP. Indias CAD for 4QFY13 narrowed to US$18.2bn

from US$31.8bn in 3QFY13. It stood at 3.6% of GDP, the lowest in past
two years. During FY13, CAD has widened to US$87.9bn or 4.8% of GDP
compared with US$78bn (4.2% of GDP) in FY12.

Outlook. CAD is likely to pick up again in 1QFY14 due to high gold

imports during Apr-May13. Remittances and software exports could,
however, counterbalance the high merchandise trade deficit. A sharp
depreciation of the rupee may increase competitiveness of Indian exports.
This could reduce Indias CAD, if global activities pick up in next one-two
years. However, the capital account surplus may moderate in coming quarter
due to debt outflows; there could be some relief from gradual improvement
in FDI inflows and commercial borrowings. Though the rupee may
appreciate in next two-three months on some positive policy measures, we
expect it to reach ~61-62 per US dollar by end of Jun14 due to increasing
vulnerability on the capital account side.
