ABSTRACT
When Uncle Sam sneezes, the world catches a cold
Starting with the sub-prime crisis in the United States in 2008 and recently with the
Greek crisis dominating the global economic scenario, the world economy is in turmoil.
During the housing bubble burst, India looked insulated from these events primarily
because India is a savings driven economy. But as the US recession is spreading to
other parts of the world with most of the euro-zone in crisis and with the worlds most
powerful economy Germany registering a growth rate of just 0.1 per cent in the
second quarter, India also looks to be in trouble.
Though completely out of line and even irresponsible, the first-in-history downgrade of
US Treasury bonds by Standard and Poor's did reflect the mood in the market. Thoughthe assessment was based on wrong numbers, the fact that the debt of world's most
powerful country that was home to its reserve currency was even considered to be of
suspect quality was telling.
Today, India is much more integrated with the world economy through both the current
and capital accounts. The most immediate effect of this global financial crisis on India is
an out flow of foreign institutional investment (FII) from the equity market. This
withdrawal by the FIIs led to a steep depreciation of the rupee. The banking and non-
banking financial institutions have been suffering losses. The recession generated by
the financial crisis in USA and other developed economies have adversely affected
Indias exports of software and IT services. What is more of an issue is the fate of the$274 billion of foreign currency assets held by India. While $127 billion of these are held
as deposits with central banks, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) and the IMF,
as much as $142.1 billion is invested in securities, consisting largely of government
securities. With the uncertainty surrounding the value and soundness of public debt, the
danger of the erosion of the value of those assets is now significant.

EFFECT OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN ON THE INDIAN ECONOMY
5 | P a g e
INTRODUCTIONAt the dawn of the new millennium, global financial markets entered a period that came to be defined by
low interest rates and below-average volatility. This period, sometimes referred to as "the great
moderation", was characterized by a global savings glut that saw emerging-market and oil-producing
countries supply the developed world with enormous amounts of capital. This capital helped keep interest
rates at historically low levels in much of the developed world and prompted investors to seek out new
investment opportunities in a search of higher yields than those available in traditional asset classes. This
search for yield eventually led to an increased willingness among some market participants to acceptgreater levels of risk for lower levels of compensation.
This increased willingness to accept risk combined with excessive leverage, a housing bull market and
widespread securitization would sow the seeds of the 2008 financial crisis. The remainder of this chapter
will take a closer look at this greater willingness to accept risk, as well as the increased use of leverage,
home price appreciation and securitization.
RISK
As the global savings glut contributed to extremely low interest rates in many traditional asset classes,
investors sought higher returns wherever they could find them. Asset classes such as emerging market
stocks, private equity, real estate and hedge funds became increasingly popular. In many instances,
investors also found above-average returns in staggeringly complex fixed-income securities.
This global search for yield was prompted not only by historically low interest rates, but also by very low
levels of volatility in many financial markets. These low levels of volatility made many risky asset classes
appear safer than they actually were. Computerized models used to price complicated fixed-income
securities assumed a continuing low-volatility environment and moderate price movements. This
mispricing of risk contributed to inflated asset values and much greater market exposures than originally
intended.
LEVERAGE
The use of leverage can enhance returns and does not appear to carry much additional risk during
periods of low volatility. The "great moderation" featured two forms of leverage. Investors usedderivatives, structured products and short-term borrowing to control far larger positions than their asset
bases would have otherwise allowed. At the same time, consumers made increasing use of leverage in
the form of easy credit to make possible a lifestyle that would have otherwise exceeded their means.
The early parts of the decade provided a near-perfect environment for this increasing use of leverage.
Low interest rates and minimal volatility allowed investors to employ leverage to magnify otherwise
subpar returns without exposure to excessive risk levels (or so it seemed). Consumers also found the

environment conducive for increasing their use of leverage. Low interest rates and lax lending standards
facilitated the expansion of a consumer credit bubble. In the U.S., the savings ratio (a good approximation
of how much use consumers are making of leverage) dropped from nearly 8% in the 1990s to less than
1% in the years leading up to the credit crisis.
As long as interest rates and volatility remained low and credit was easily available, there seemed to be
no end in sight to the era of leverage. But the increased use of leverage and increasing indebtedness
were placing consumers in a dangerous situation. At the same time, higher leverage ratios and an
increasing willingness to accept risk were creating a scenario in which investors had priced financial
markets for a near-perfect future.
SECURITIZATION
Securitization describes the process of pooling financial assets and turning them into tradable securities.
The first products to be securitized were home mortgages, and these were followed by commercial
mortgages, credit card receivables, auto loans, student loans and many other financial instruments.
Securitization provides several benefits to market participants and the economy including:
1. Providing financial institutions with a mechanism to remove assets from their balance sheets and
increasing the available pool of capital.2. Lowering interest rates on loans and mortgages.
3. Increasing liquidity in a variety of previously illiquid financial products by turning them into
tradable assets.
4. Spreading the ownership of risk and allowing for greater ability to diversify risk
In addition to its benefits, securitization has two drawbacks. The first is that it results in lenders that do not
hold the loans they make on their own balance sheets. This "originate to distribute" business model puts
less of an impetus on lenders to ensure that borrowers can eventually repay their debts and therefore
lowers credit standards. The second problem lies with securitization's distribution of risk among a wider
variety of investors. During normal cycles, this is one of securitization's benefits, but during times of crisis
the distribution of risk also results in more widespread losses than otherwise would have occurred. In theyears leading up to the credit crisis, investors searching for yield often focused on securitized products
that seemed to offer an attractive combination of high yields and low risk. As long as home prices stayed
relatively stable and home owners continued to pay their mortgages, there seemed to be little reason not
to purchase 'AAA'-rated securitized products.
WHAT CAUSED THE RECESSION?THE HOUSING BUBBLE
It is a widely held belief that home prices do not decline and it is this belief that led generations of
consumers to regard a home purchase as the foundation of their financial programs. More recently,
speculators have used this logic as part of their rationale for purchasing homes with the intention of
"flipping" them. As the rate of appreciation in home values dramatically increased during the early years
of the 21st century, many people began to believe that not only would home values not decline, but that
they would also continue to rise indefinitely.
The belief that home prices would not decline was also fundamental to the structuring and sale of

mortgage-backed securities. Therefore, the models that investment firms used to structure mortgage-
backed securities did not adequately account for the possibility that home prices could slide. Likewise, the
ratings agencies assigned their highest rating, 'AAA', to many mortgage-backed securities based partly on
the assumption that home prices would not fall. Investors then purchased these securities believing they
were safe and that principal and interest would be repaid in a timely fashion.
HOME PRICES DECLINEUnfortunately, in 2008, the belief that home prices do not decline turned out to be incorrect; home prices
began to slide in 2006 and by 2008, they had declined at rates not seen since the Great Depression.
According to Standard & Poor's, as of 2008, home prices were down 20% from their 2006 peaks, and in
some hard-hit areas, that number was even higher.
As prices began to decline, homeowners who had planned to sell for a profit found themselves unable to
do so. Other homeowners found that the outstanding balance on their mortgages was greater than the
market value of their homes. This condition, known as an "upside down" mortgage, reduced the incentive
for homeowners to continue to make their mortgage payments.
One particular corner of the housing sector that experienced a dramatic bubble and subsequent collapse
was the subprime mortgage market. Subprime mortgages are issued to households with below-average
credit or income histories and are generally considered more risky than traditional "prime" mortgages.
Although they constitute a minority of the overall market, subprime mortgages became increasingly
important over the years. Many people who took out subprime mortgages during the real estate boom did
so with the hope of "flipping" the house for a large gain; in fact, this tactic worked well when home prices
were soaring. Other subprime borrowers were lured into their mortgages by the initially low payments,
but when these "teaser" rates reset to current market rates, many homeowners could not afford the new,
much higher payments.The graph below displays home price values as measured by the S&P Home Price Index. As the graph demonstrates,
following a run-up in prices 1999-2006, prices dropped significantly.

TROUBLE IN THE MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES MARKET

to make their monthly mortgage payments. This situation eventually led to higher levels of mortgage
defaults. Many of these mortgages had been "securitized" and resold in the marketplace. This dispersion
of risk is generally a good thing, but in this instance it also meant that potential losses from defaults were
spread more widely than they otherwise might have been. Defaults had an inordinate impact on certain
bond issues. This is because in a typical mortgage-backed security deal, any mortgage defaults initially
affect only the lowest-rated tranches. This means that even if the overall default rate for the pool of
mortgages is relatively low, the loss for a particular tranche of mortgage-backed securities could be
substantial. When the investors that hold these tranches employ leverage, losses can be even greater.
As concerns about the housing decline grew, market participants began avoiding mortgage-related risks.
Investors became even more nervous after Bear Stearns was forced to close two hedge funds that had
suffered very large losses on mortgage-backedsecurities.
Financial firms had previously used actual market prices in order to value their holdings, but in the
absence of trading activity, firms were forced to use computerized models to approximate their holdings'
value. As the market continued its decline, investors began to question the accuracy of these models.
The implementation of new mark-to-market accounting rules exacerbated the situation by requiring
financial firms to continually report losses on securities, even if they did not intend to sell them. This well-
intentioned rule was implemented at precisely the wrong time and had the effect of adding fuel to a fire.The proximate cause of the current financial turbulence is attributed to the sub-prime mortgage sector in
the USA.
GLOBAL IMBALANCES
Global imbalances have been manifested through a substantial increase in the current account deficit of
the US mirrored by the substantial surplus in Asia, particularly in China, and in oil exporting countries in
the Middle East and Russia. These imbalances in the current account are often seen as the consequence
of the relative inflexibility of the currency regimes in China and some other EMEs. These saving-
investment imbalances and consequent huge cross-border financial flows put great stress on the financial
intermediation process.
The global imbalances interacted with the flaws in financial markets and instruments to generate the
specific features of the crisis. The role of monetary policy in the major advanced economies, particularly
that in the United States, over the same time period needs to be analyzed for a more balanced analysis.
Excessively loose monetary policy in the post dot com period boosted consumption and investment in the
US and, it was made with purposeful and careful consideration by monetary policy makers. As might be
expected, with such low nominal and real interest rates, asset prices also recorded strong gains,
particularly in housing and real estate, providing further impetus to consumption and investment through
wealth effects. Thus, aggregate demand consistently exceeded domestic output in the US and, given the
macroeconomic identity, this was mirrored in large and growing current account deficits in the US over the
period. The large domestic demand of the US was met by the rest of the world, especially China and
other East Asian economies, which provided goods and services at relatively low costs leading to growing
surpluses in these countries. Sustained current account surpluses in some of these EMEs also reflected
the lessons learnt from the Asian financial crisis.
Furthermore, the availability of relatively cheaper goods and services from China and other EMEs also
helped to maintain price stability in the US and elsewhere, which might have not been possible otherwise.
Thus measured inflation in the advanced economies remained low, contributing to the persistence of
accommodative monetary policy.

November 2011, the euro was even trading slightly higher against the bloc's major trading partners than
at the beginning of the crisis. The three countries most affected, Greece, Ireland and Portugal, collectively
account for six percent of the eurozone's gross domestic product (GDP).Credit Default Swaps (CDS)
provides a unique window of viewing the state of uncertainty in any country. The table below provides
information on the CDS for a set of countries at two points of time. It shows the severity in the crisis which
has eroded the creditworthiness of various countries as the euro crisis spread. The CDS spreads have
increased for countries which have now come in the forefront of the crisis like Italy, Hungary and Spain.
They have increased 4-fold in case of Greece and remained at higher levels for the others. This reflects
that the crisis is still some way from being resolved.
An important outcome of the developments in this area and the solution being worked out is that
European banks have to improve their capital ratios and would have to either: raise new equity, use
retained profits or shrink the balance sheet. Raising new capital is a challenge given the rising distrust
amongst investors continuously. Increasing profits is difficult as the outlook deteriorates as illustrated by
the CDS spread. Therefore, the banks appear to be left with little choice but to shrink their balance sheet.
This would lead to lowering credit which will further exacerbate the crisis.CAUSES OF THE CRISIS
a. Rising government debt levels
b. Trade imbalances
c. Monetary policy inflexibility
d. Loss of confidence
CONCERNS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES REMAIN
The rather unsatisfactory outlook of the advanced economies on account of:
1. Maintenance of interest rates at near-zero levels
2. Uncertainties over the euro region sovereign debt crisis
3. Rising US fiscal deficit problems and slowing economic growth
has had an impact on the developing countries.

ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC FACTORS
GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT
From a bare 1.4 % in 1991-92 the economy of India rose to 5.81 % during 2001-02 ( Planning
Commission , GOI) after the liberalization during the congress regime when Mr. Manmohan Singh was
the finance Minister of India . This long spell of growth carried on till 2007 as the worl economy grew as a
whole. India and China were two countries which were growing at breakneck speed as the whole world
watched. Before the recession, The economy grew at 9.6% GDP during 2006-07 ( PC, GOI) and in 2008-
09 when the US economy collapsed, the Indian economy was also hard hit and GDP fell to a miserly
6.8%The International Monetary Fund (IMF) had also projected the growth prospects for Indian economy
to 5.1 % in next year. And the RBI annual policy statement 2009 presented on July 28, 2009, projected
GDP growth at 6 % for 2009-10. This declining trend has affected adversely the industrial activity,
especially, in the manufacturing, infrastructure and in service sectors mainly in the construction, transportand communication, trade, hotels etc. as is shown in the APPENDIX I at the end.
Service export growth was also likely to slow as the recession deepens and financial services firms,
traditionally large users of out-sourcing services were restructured. The financial crisis in the advanced
economies and likely slow down in developing economies had an adverse impact on the services sector
which was mainly dependent on the businesses generated in these advanced economies. About 15 to 18
percent of the business coming to Indian out-sources includes projects from banking, insurance and the
financial services sector which was uncertain at that time. A financial crisis could cause workers earnings
to fall as jobs were lost in formal sector demand for services provided by the informal sector declined and
working hours and real wages were cut. When formal sector workers who have lost their jobs entered the
informal sector, they put additional pressure on informal LABOUR markets. During recession industrial
growth was also faltering. Agricultural and industrial growth also dropped to -0.1 and 4.4 (PC,GOI) from5.8% and 9.7% respectively.
As we see in the graph below, only china and India were relatively insulated from the ripples of the
shockwave that engulfed most of the major economies of the world. Finally the sharp drop in GDP of
India, Brazil and Germany show the impact of the recent Euro crisis and global slowdown in Europe.
Though India is primarily a domestic economy, Indias exports are positively linked to the global economic
growth. This is likely to adversely impact Indias export growth in the coming months. However, growth
will be only marginally affected by the slowdown in the euro region debt stricken countries as our
exposure is low.

INDEX OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIVITY
Indias industrial sector has suffered from the depressed demand conditions in its export markets, as well
as from suppressed domestic demand due to the slow generation of employment. As per the index of
industrial production (IIP) data released by CSO, the overall growth in 2008-2009 was 3.2 percent
compared to a growth of 8.7 percent in 2007-08.The recent crash in the Sensex was not simply an
indicator of the impact of international contagion. There have been warning signals and signs of fragility in
Indian finance during that time and those were likely to be compounded by trends in real economy.

OUTFLOW OF FII AND THE SENSEX
The most immediate effect of that crisis on India has been an outflow of foreign institutional investment
from the equity market. Foreign Institutional Investment (FIIs), which need to retrench assets in order to
cover losses in their home countries and were seeking havens of safety in an uncertain environment,
have become major sellers in Indian markets. As FIIs pull out their money from the stock market, the
large corporations were no doubt affected, the worst affected were likely to be the exports and small and
marginal enterprises that contribute significantly to employment generation. In 2007-08, net Foreign
Institutional Investments (FIIs).
Inflows into India amounted to $16040 million. But in April-November 2008 it was negative to $8857
million. Due to this, there was a collapse in stock prices. As a result, the Sensex fell from its closing peak
of 20873 on January 2008 to nearly 8000 in October-November 2008.Investors started to look for safer
investments and as we see UK was one of the most favoured destinations as the US was under crisis.
The outflow of FDIs from Indian markets showed that India was still considered a risky investm ent even
though India was more or less insulated from the crisis. But as of 2010, Indias FII were greater as

compared to even Chinas which only meant that due to Indias relatively good performance during the
recession, investors are again turning to India during the European crisis.
Due to this, there was a collapse in stock prices. As a result, the Sensex fell from its closing peak of
20873 on January 2008 to nearly 8000 in October-November 2008.
After the stock market crash of 2008-09 the stock market again fell to a low during 2011 and is yet to
recover to previous levels. The euro zone crisis has been blamed primarily for it for reducing the credit of
the country.

DEPRECIATION OF THE RUPEE
As FII withdrawal was increased, the demand for the dollar increased and that for the rupee decreased
leading to a depreciation in the value of the rupee. Between April 2008 and November 2008, the RBI
reference rate for the rupee fell by nearly 25 percent, rupees per unit dollar gone up from Rs.40.02 in
April 2008 to Rs.49.00 in November 2008. The currency depreciation may also affect consumer prices
and the higher cost of imported food hurt poor individuals and households that spend much of theirincome on food.
Due to global uncertainties, the Indian exchange rate has depreciated 17.4% against the US Dollar during
the current financial year. This has been higher than that observed in other markets like Euro and Pound
depreciated by around 5.3% each against the Dollar during the same period.
The depreciating rupee is likely to add further pressure on domestic inflation and Indias import bills.
The rupee depreciation will hit the business community very hard and many items like oil, imported coal,
metals and minerals would get affected. However, it is believed that the IT services sector, textile sector
and other such export-oriented industries in India are likely to benefit from the depreciating rupee as their
business is mainly export oriented.

a new high of 1$= Rs. 53 during 2011-12. This just shows that more and more people are selling off the
rupee in exchange of stronger currencies which are much safer investments.
INFLATION
According to the CSO, the rate of inflation has gone down to 8.98% in the last week of November 2008from the peak of 12.9 % in first week of August, 2008 and again rose to 10.88% in 2009. The faster than
expected reduction in inflation should be supported by consumption demand and reduced input costs for
corporate. From the external sector perspective, it is projected that imports will shrink more than exports
keeping the current account deficit modest. But the current account deficit is widening which caused the
inflation to rise further. Whilst the major economies were experiencing WPI inflation rates of around 2-4%
Indias inflation were skyrocketing nearly upto 10-12% touching a high of over 16.2% during 2009. The
RBI in an effort to control has raised lending rates nearly 5 times(175 basis points) in 2010-11 .
Global inflation (CPI) in 2011 increased to 4.2% from 3.3% seen for the same period in 2010. Inflation in
the advanced economies rose sharply from 1.6% in 2010 till Jul to 2.6% in 2011. Similarly, inflation in the
emerging economies increased to 6.5% in 2011 from 5.8% in 2010.
Since May 2011 with an exception in July 2011 international commodity prices and metal prices in
particular are moderating. Compared with Apr 2011 the international metal index showed a decline of
19.7% with copper declining by 22%, aluminium 18% and zinc 21%. Food inflation which had become a
major cause of concern has also started moderating.

Domestic inflation for the month of Oct 2011 stood at 9.7%, while the international commodity prices
where moderating. This implies that the moderation in the international commodity prices has not been
translated in to the domestic commodity prices. This just means that the Indian economy is again
relatively insulated from the major economies and a host of internal factors have led to such high inflation
rates.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKETS
The foreign exchange market came under pressure because of reversal of capital flows as part of the
global decelerating process. Foreign exchange reserves were depleting. It was $ 309.7 billion in 2007-08
and came down to $252.0 billion in 2008-09, which shows the direct impact of the financial crisis on
India's foreign exchange reserves.

EXPORTS AND BALANCE OF TRADE
The shrinking of aggregate in the world market as a consequence of the crisis has hurt the exporting
manufacturing industries in the country. In 2007-08, Indias export and import were $162904 million and
$251439 million respectively and balance of payment was $ -88535 million. And in 2008-09, export andimport were $185295 million and $303696 million respectively. The balance of payment was $ -118401
million. The growth rate of export and import also declined to 13.3 percent and 20.7 percent from 29.0
and 35.5 percent respectively during that period. In 2009-10 the export and import further declined very
much to $178751 million and $288373 million respectively. In 2009-10 the export growth rate was -3.5
percent and import growth rate was -5.0 percent.
The balance of payment was $ -109622. This shows that Indias exports are adversely affected by the
slowdown in global markets. This is already evident in certain industries like the garments industries
where there have been significant job losses with the onset of the crisis. This along with a squeeze in the
high-income service sectors like financial services, hospitality and tourism etc. led to a reduction in
consumption spending and overall demand with the domestic economy.
A direct consequence of this was a simultaneous loss of informal employment and lower generation of
new non-farm employment in the economy. The depreciation of rupee could not positively affect the
exports bill of India. The other direct impact of the global financial crisis has occurred in the area of credit
availability to the small-scale agriculture and other rural livelihoods. The impact of the crisis on the rural
sector, originated from the slowdown experienced by secondary and tertiary sectors. The fact that the
present crisis adversely affected the manufacturing and service sectors imply that occupational
diversification is more difficult to achieve.

The financial crisis, therefore threatens to intensify the income deflation that is already a feature of the
rural economy and simultaneously aggregate the alarming levels of hunger and malnutrition that currently
exist in India.
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT
FDI as a sector is relatively new in India and the sector is opening up with more avenues each passing
year. As compared to other developing countries in which FDI outflows occurs, FDI inflows have started
taking place in India. During the recessionary period FDI investment was the highest in India. This could
be because of a perceived notion of India as a safe investing option or India remains insulated from the
effects of the global economic slowdown.
FDI inflows in India during 2011-12 (Apr-Sept) increased by 74% to $19,136 mn from $11,005 mn for the
same period last year. FDI inflows peaked to $5,656 mn in Jun 2011 and declined thereafter. Mauritius
has been the top investing country in India through FDI in equity, with a historical share of around 41%.
Considering the share of euro zone in FDI equity inflows for cumulative period of Apr 2000 to Feb 2011
was 14.7% with share of Netherlands, Cyprus and Germany has been around 4.4% and 3.7% and 2.9%respectively. The share of the other euro zone countries has been marginal. Further, the share of the
euro countries in distress namely, Italy (0.7%), Spain (0.6%) and Greece (0%) together contribute a
marginal share of 1.3% to Indias FDI flows. Hence, it can be drawn that euro zone slowdown would not
have a significant impact on the India economy. The share of Indias FDI in the emerging and developing
markets is low at 5.2% in 2011. Therefore, the FDI flows have been less volatile to the global slowdown.

PUBLIC DEBT
Indias rising Public debt has become another major cause of concern for the country. Within a span of 19
years, the public debt has increased from $11 billion to over $34 billion and this debt has been increasinglinearly. With the recent downgrade of US from AAA to AA+ by Standard and Poors, Even Indias public
debt has come into focus. Even though Indias credit rating was improved by S&P in the wake of the crisis
prevailing in Europe as many other countries like Portugal, Spain and Italy have been downgraded to junk
status, the linear rise in public debt has become a major cause of concern. Even though there has been
no significant impact on the public debt, the euro crisis has made people sit up and notice the huge public
debt that is accumulating. Public debt in India increases mostly due to the active involvement of public
sector companies in government policies and also the huge amount of subsidies being provided by the
Government. But as a step forward, the government has started freeing up subsidies given in fertilizer
and also petroleum sector thus reducing government control over the markets.
Indias credit rating outlook was raised to stable from negative by Standard & Poors on the optimism
that faster growth in Asias third-largest economy will help the government cut its budget deficit while
maintaining the nations long-term local and foreign-currency rating at BBB-, the lowest investment grade.
Moodys Investors Service ranks Indias rupee-denominated debt at Ba2, two levels below investment
grade, while Fitch Ratings has a BBB- rating, the lowest investment grade. That puts India below its so-
called BRIC counterparts, which include China, Russia and Brazil. Both Moodys and Fitch have a
stable outlook on Indias debt rating.

Indian stocks and bonds rose on speculation the change in the outlook may attract overseas investors.
The change in rating outlook will raise global investors confidence in India. The benchmark Sensitive
Index rose 0.2 percent to 17,519.26, the highest in two months. The yield on the benchmark 10-year
government bond fell 6 basis points to 7.90 percent as of 5:30 p.m. close in Mumbai.
S&P expects Indias $1.2 trillion economy to expand 8 percent in the year starting April 1. Indias foreign -
exchange reserves, which stand at four-times the countrys short-term external debt, also boostconfidence in the economy.
The government plans to cut its debt to 68 percent of GDP by 2015 from about 80 percent of GDP
currently as recommended by the 13th Finance Commission. Indias rating is constrained by the high
government debt. Accelerating inflation may also derail the stable macroeconomic and interest rate
environment. Indias WPI rate rose to 9.89 % in February which was a 16-month high, driven by food
and manufactured- product prices. This just shows the reverse impact of the crisis in the Euro zone which
has contributed to high prices in the region.
Reserve Bank of India Governor D. Subbarao has kept the central banks benchmark reverse repurchase
rate unchanged at 3.25 percent since April, awaiting further evidence of a strengthening economy. In the
last policy statement in January, he opted to order banks to hold more assets in reserves, raising thecash reserve ratio to 5.75 percent from 5 percent.
MANUFACTURING SECTORThe Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) is an indicator of the economic health of the manufacturing sector
of any country. The PMI index is based on five major indicators namely, new orders, inventory levels,
production, supplier deliveries and the employment environment in a country. A PMI of more than 50
represents expansion of the manufacturing sector, compared with the previous month. If the PMI is below
50 then it represents a contraction, while a PMI at 50 indicates no change in the manufacturing sector.

The below table reveals that the PMI has been declining since April reflecting the effect of the slowdown
on the developing economies. However, the PMI has remained above the 50 mark for most of the
countries till Jun 2011. In Aug 2011, when the PMI for all the 5 countries in the table illustrated a
contraction in the manufacturing sector, India continued to be over the 50 mark .

Manufacturing, value added (% of GDP)( Worldbank)
In the above graph we see how Indias and Chinas manufa cturing sector is relatively insulated from the
impact of the global market as compared to Germany, USA and UK who see a dip in the manufacturing
sector. But in 2009-10 as compared to other countries, India had to face a dip in the manufacturing sector
as a result of reduced exports to the European countries who were embroiled in the credit default crisis in
Europe.
SERVICE SECTORThe service Industry employs nearly 12.62%(CSO) of the Indian population in the unorganized sector.
Also, more than 20% of the FDI inflows to India occur in the services sector amounting to ober 15500
crores.Also it is the single largest positive contributor to the Balance of payments of the economy. As
such this industry is very closely related to the world economy and accordingly should be adversely
impacted in case the world economy goes into a recession.
Indias earnings from the software sector have been increasing steadily over the years at a CAGR of
27.7%. In FY09, the world economic growth slowed to -0.7% but software services continued to increase,
albeit at a slower rate. Net software earnings growth rate declined from 28.8% in 2007-08 to 14.9% in2008-09 and further to 7.4% in 2009-10.
In the first eight months of 2011, the rupee had been stable in the range of Rs. 44-45 per Dollar. A
depreciating trend became stark since Aug 2011. The rupee has depreciated by 18% against the Dollar
and by around 9% against the euro since Aug 2011. This trend is likely to improve the competitiveness of
this sector. The negative impact, if any, will be marginal.
AGRICULTURE SECTORThe agriculture sector is the life blood of the Indian economy and is one of the largest contributors to the
GDP at nearly 20%.The agricultural sector has been growing steadily from 0.1% of GDP in 2004-05 to
5.8% during 2006-07. But during recession the sector was moderately affected and the GDP dropped to a-0.1% of GDP. The primary reason was because of reduced exports to developing countries by the
agricultural sector. A key reason for this resilience, despite the turmoil in global markets, has been the
well-timed and mass-based initiatives like the National Food Security Mission, Rashtriya Krishi Vikas
Yojana, expansion of agricultural credit, agricultural farm loan waiver scheme and enhanced allocation
towards subsidies on fertilizers and electricity has ensured a steady growth for Indian agriculture and
would continue to do the same even if the global crisis lingers on for long.

EFFECT OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN ON THE INDIAN ECONOMY
23 | P a g e
CONCLUSIONIndias growing integration into the world markets has made the impact of the current recession very
visible to the whole world. The strategy to counter these effects of the global crisis on the Indian economy
and prevent the latter from any further collapse would require an effective departure from the dominant
economic philosophy of the neo-liberalism. The first such departure should be a return to Food-First
policy, not only to ensure food security of the large population but also due to the fact that food production
will be more profitable given the current signs of a shrinking market for export oriented commercial crops
and shrinking manufacturing sector. The other important initiative that needs to be adopted is the building
of institutions based on the principle of cooperation that will provide an alternative frame work of livelihood
generation in the rural economy as opposed to the dominant logic of markets under capitalism.
Institutions like cooperative markets and credit cooperatives can go a long way in addressing the lack of
economically viable producer prices and loaning credit availability for economic activities in the primary
sector.
These alternative policies ask for increased government expenditure. We see that governments
engagement generally arrives very late to solve the financial crisis by which time many financial firms are
near insolvency. This generates larger cost for the economy and exchequer. Our key goal today should
be to avoid these costs through rapid action. The need of today is not just the pumping of liquidity in tothe Indian economy but also in addition the injection of demand. The recent depreciation of the rupee has
shown the adverse consequences of pumping in cash purely due to political and not economical reasons.
In India, larger government expenditure has to be oriented towards agriculture, rural development, health,
human resources and infrastructure to make inclusive and balanced growth. The biggest challenges
before India are to ensure monetary and fiscal stimuli work, returning to fiscal consolidation, supporting
drivers of growth and managing policy in globalizing world. There is also need to study the viability of
fiscal stimulus in India and economic policy makers should shift their attention from crisis management to
providing the basis for a return to fast growth. Over the next year, sources of growth should shift to
manufacturing and possibly a recovering agriculture.
India has come back to high growth but this new growth but this has been driven by increased
expenditure by the government. The pumping of excess cash alongwith speculation going around the
world markets has caused the economy to react to the euro crisis in a negative way.
Also with the service sector growing very strongly, it has become Ind ias core competency alongwith
agriculture. This should give the government impetus to help these sectors so that they go on to
contribute to the GDP in a big way in the future instead of getting diverted to other developing countries.
India being a unique country, the best bet we have against the world is agriculture. The new paradigm
must entail infrastructure and food grain-led growth strategy on the basis of peasant agriculture which can
simultaneously sustain the growth and remove the food crisis in India.
