Takeaways from Numbers • Clear intent to tax consumption and reduce subsidies • Use of balance sheet (disinvestment) and income (taxes) to reduce fiscal deficit to 5.5% • Increasing disposable income by lower taxes to raise consumption which has remained the bulwark of Indian economy. • This is a continuing theme and we could see a regime of lower income taxes, but more goods and services being taxed. The intent is clear- consumption is being encouraged • Additional surprise possible should oil and commodity prices fall sharply • Divided house on ability of government to deliver fiscal consolidation Budget 2010-11
Policy Intent and Impact • Government willing to use its majority to pass through cost increases such as fertilizer and fuel to the consumer • Inflationary ripples likely on account of higher fuel prices and taxes may make RBI to tighten/raise rates • Overall liquidity remains easy and velocity of money is still falling. Therefore, growth can pickup in private consumption and capex sharply. • Overall, a pro-growth laissez-faire budget • Upside risks to inflation post some of the measures may complicate monetary policy outlook • 10 year bond yield may move up to the 8-8.25% range in April/May • FII limits in G sec investments may be enhanced Budget 2010-11
Risks • Risks remain on ability to manage growth and have higher taxes • Disinvestment and 3G targets need to be achieved for fiscal consolidation • Assumption is that monsoons would be normal and inflation remains under check • Consensus based politics may delay some of the proposals Budget 2010-11
Implication for markets • More money in the hands of 60% of taxpayers – Will they save or spend? Spend perhaps • Large disinvestment plan will cap market performance (Rs40,000cr) • Will be a period of consolidation for markets as international scenario is still fragile • Overall, a pro growth budget, with higher indirect taxes • Coporate confidence has to remerge for the next phase of capital expenditure to sustain growth. Stimulus from the government is difficult. • Inflationary pressures may impact confidence and force a tighter monetary regime, impacting Indian markets • Indian markets may offer international investors an attractive sustainable long term growth story in an increasingly difficult environment Budget 2010-11
