FM sails without rocking the boat
The first full budget of the incumbent NDA government reinforces the trend
seen in past three years. The focus continues on gradual simplification in the
tax laws and procedures, withdrawing the fiscal stimulus, and building rural
infrastructure. "Incrementalism" against "Big bang" has been the strategy and
continues to be so.
The question "whether FM could have done more?" is unfructuous in our view.
Market economists dominate - Financial markets get a cause to cheer
In a material departure from the past, the Union Budget, much like Railway
Budget, has a distinct mark of the dominance of market economists.
Historically the budget had been dominated by development economists.
Financial markets should find a cause to cheer in this.
Vision 2022 - all encompassing development, execution to improve
The vision 2022 of the PM Modi finds some feet on the ground with this
budget. The budget presents firm indications of execution strategy and plan
for the vision to effect a wholesome improvement in the life of
underprivileged (housing, water, power, health, education, access). "Plug
and play" could be a game changer for infrastructure sector investments.
Accelerated globalization - focus shifts on "enablement" from "provision"
The budget seeks to accelerate the move towards globalization of fiscal
practices and development policies. For example, consider the follwoing:
(a) Social security for all.
(b) Shades of Obamacare in health insurance, ESI to mediclaim etc.
(c) 401K makes an appearance in the form of 80CCD
(d) Platform for creating multiple layers of leverage
(e) Cashless society living on plastic money
(f) Foreign assets and income to strictly monitored & taxed just like US.
Policy focus is conspicuously shifting on enablement of youth through skilling,
inclusion and access rather than just providing through subsidies and doles.

Fiscal roadmap
Assumptions
 The Gross tax revenue has been estimated at 10.3 per cent of GDP in
Budget 2015-16, with a growth of 15.8 per cent over RE 2014-15.
Projections for 2015-16 have been made taking into account a realistic
economic recovery and continuation of set of tax measures announced
in the budget for 2014-15. It is also expected that reforms in the
administrative machinery oriented towards strict implementation will yield
result.
 For the budget of 2015-16, receipts from disinvestment have been
estimated at Rs41,000 crore. However, as additional resource mobilization
to meet the revenue shortfall following 14th Finance Commission, ` 28,500
crores have been estimated to flow from strategic disinvestments. These
include sale of government holdings in non-government commercial
entities, SUUTI, BALCO, HZL etc. Over the medium term frame work, an
amount of Rs55,000cr and Rs50,000cr has been estimated for the years
2016-17 and 2017-18 respectively.
 Total borrowings requirement for 2015-16 has been budgeted at
Rs5,55,649cr.
 Interest payment is projected at 49.6% of net tax to Centre, which is
marked increase over the last year despite fiscal consolidation underway.
 Major subsidies have been budgeted in 2015-16 at 1.6 per cent of GDP as
against 2.0 per cent in BE 2014-15.
 the GDP at current market prices expected to achieve a growth of 11.5
per cent in 2015-16 (real growth of 8.5 per cent and an implied inflation of
2.8 per cent) to attain a level of Rs14108945cr (US$2.28trn with USD= Rs62).

Based on Economic
Survey for 2014-15
Background of the Union Budget for FY16
The Union Budget for the fiscal year 2015-16 presented today is the first full
scale budget of the incumbent government. Having given an overwhelming
political mandate for faster, inclusive and sustainable development to the
Prime Minister, all stakeholders have been looking forward to this budget with
great anticipation of delivery on promises.
The government has delivered in right earnest inasmuch as administrative
corrections are concerned. However, the economic reforms remain a work in
progress and standing at this juncture in time, the road does not look smooth.
The economic survey for the year 2014-15, presented in the Parliament
yesterday succinctly highlights the bumps in the road ahead and the strategy
to move forward. The Budget should be interpreted in juxtaposition with this
background to arrive at appropriate conclusion.
Highlights of the Economic Survey 2014-15
• Real GDP Growth Rate for FY2015 pegged at 7.4%.
• Average CPI to stand at 6.2% in FY2015. A further deceleration is
expected opening up the space for further monetary policy easing
• Assuming a further moderation in average annual price of crude oil the
current account deficit is estimated at less than 1.0% of GDP in FY2016
• Risks from a shift in US monetary policy and turmoil in the Eurozone need
to be watched but could remain within control
• India’s services sector has grown rapidly in last decade with almost 72.4%
of the growth in India’s coming from this sector which is growing in 2 digits
• India’s e-commerce market is expected to grow by more than 50 per
cent in the next five years
• Proposals for the next five years, in renewable energy, are likely to
generate business opportunities of the order of US$ 160 billion
• With contained inflation and fiscal deficit, Liquidity conditions are likely to
remain benign in FY2016.
• To remain strong at external front, India should target foreign exchange
reserves of $750Bn - $1 Tn over the long term
• Expenditure control and expenditure switching, from consumption to
investment, both in the short and medium term will be key for maintaining
fiscal discipline
• Raising economy-wide skills must complement efforts to improve the
conditions for manufacturing
• Skill India objective should be accorded high priority along with, and
indeed in order to realize, ‘‘Make in India’’
• Infrastructure growth in terms of eight core industries has been higher
than industrial growth since 2011-12 and this trend is expected to
continue

Creative incrementalism with selected boldness
The policy stance of government so far has been incremental changes in
status quo rather than any "big bang" departure from the past. This stance is
likely to be maintained in the coming years also.
"Equally though, the mandate received by the government affords a
unique window of political opportunity which should not be foregone.
India needs to follow what might be called “a persistent, encompassing,
and creative incrementalism” but with bold steps in a few areas that
signal a decisive departure from the past and that are aimed at
addressing key problems such as ramping up investment, rationalizing
subsidies, creating a competitive, predictable, and clean tax policy
environment, and accelerating disinvestment.
Thus, Weber’s wisdom cannot be a licence for inaction or
procrastination. Boldness in areas where policy levers can be more easily
pulled by the center combined with that incrementalism in other areas is
a combination that can cumulate over time to Big Bang reforms. That is
the appropriate standard against which future reforms must be
assessed."
Lagging employment growth a worry
Unemployment is emerging to be the single most critical challenge for the
policymakers. The challenge is even more severe in case of urban skilled
workers who have been at the core of the India's urbanization so far. Given
the current demographics of the country, a year's delay in finding a suitable
job could jeopardize the whole professional career of a person.
Moreover, in past few years the rural wages have declined steadily thus
impacting the very fulcrum of the India's consumption story.
"Regardless of which data source is used, it seems clear that
employment growth is lagging behind growth in the labour force. For
example, according to the Census, between 2001 and 2011, labor force
growth was 2.23 percent (male and female combined). This is lower than
most estimates of employment growth in this decade of closer to 1.4
percent. Creating more rapid employment opportunities is clearly a
major policy challenge."

Dramatic macro improvement warrant caution
Helped by some prudent policy measures by the government, RBI, lower
global commodity prices and some improvement in business conditions, the
matrix of India's macro parameters has improved materially in past 4-6 qtrs.
However given the speed and nature of the improvement some caution is in
order and jumping to bold decisions may prove counterproductive at this
stage.
"India’s macroeconomic improvement has been nothing short of
dramatic—inflation has been cut in half to about 5 percent today,
underlying rural wage growth has declined from over 20 percent to
below 5 percent, and the current account deficit has shrivelled from
over 6.7 percent of GDP (in Q 3, 2012-13) to an estimated 1.0 percent in
the coming fiscal year.
That said, there is hardly room for fiscal complacency. To understand
why, to realize where India needs to go, it is important to understand
where it has been, and to draw lessons from this experience. The similarity
between India’s situation today and in the early 2000s makes this
exercise especially important."
Corporate balance sheets stressed, execution to remain challenged
The revival of investment cycle and improvement in project execution is also
contingent upon strong corporate balance sheets. The data shows that the
stress in corporate balance sheets has risen materially in past five years.
"India needs to tread the path of investment-driven growth. Can the
private sector be expected to rise to the occasion? Highly leveraged
corporate balance sheets, and a banking system under severe stress
suggest that this will prove challenging."
"The biggest lesson from stalled projects and the associated credit aided
infrastructure bubble is that perhaps more than a run up problem (over
exuberant and misdirected private investment), we face a clean-up
problem (bankruptcy laws, asset restructuring, etc.). Creative solutions
are necessary for distributing pain equally amongst the stakeholders from
past deals gone sour.
An idea to fix the clean-up problem is setting up of a high powered
Independent Renegotiation Committee. In the presence of a market
and regulatory failure, perhaps a creative step would be to involve
external experts for a quick and independent resolution of the problems."
"Many infrastructure projects are today financially stressed, accounting
for almost a third of stressed assets in banks. New projects cannot attract
sponsors, as in recent NHAI bids, and banks are unwilling to lend. Given
its riskiness, pension and insurance funds have sensibly limited their
exposure to these projects. This current state of the public private
partnership (PPP) model is due to poorly designed frameworks, which
need restructuring."
As per a research study by Credit Suisse, almost one third of the companies
are not earning enough to meet their interest liability.

(ICR = Interest Coverage Ratio)
Banking sector repressed and stressed
The challenges in the Indian banking system fall into two categories: policy
and structure.
"The policy challenge relates to financial repression. The Indian banking
system is afflicted by what might be called “double financial repression”.
Financial repression on the asset side of the balance sheet is created by
the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) requirement that forces banks to hold
government securities, and priority sector lending (PSL) that forces
resource deployment in lessthan-fully efficient ways.
Financial repression on the liability side has arisen from high inflation since
2007, leading to negative real interest rates, and a sharp reduction in
households’ financial savings. As India exits from liability-side repression
with declining inflation, the time may be appropriate for addressing its
asset-side counterparts."
The structural problems relate to competition and ownership. First, there
appears to be a lack of competition, reflected in the private sector
banks’ inability to increase their presence.
Indeed, one of the paradoxes of recent banking history is that the share
of the private sector in overall banking aggregates barely increased at a
time when the country witnessed its most rapid growth and one that was
fuelled by the private sector.
It was an anomalous case of private sector growth without private sector
bank financing. Even allowing for the irrational exuberance of the Public
Sector Banks (PSBs) that financed this growth phase, the reticence of the
private sector was striking.
Finally, even within the public sector banks there is sufficient variation in
performance. Viewing public sector banks as one homogenous block
would be a mistake."

Need for public investment, Railways selected to engine the growth
Since the new government assumed office, a slew of economic reforms has
led to a partial revival of investor sentiment. But increasing financial flows are
yet to translate into a durable pick-up of real investment, especially in the
private sector. This owes to a number of interrelated factors that stem from
what has been identified as the “balance sheet syndrome with Indian
characteristics.” If the weakness of private investment offers one negative or
indirect rationale for increased public investment, there are also more
affirmative rationales.
"The two biggest challenges facing increased public investment in India
are financial resources and implementation capacity. the trick is to find
sectors with maximum positive spillovers and institutions with a modicum
of proven capacity for investing quickly and efficiently. Two prime
candidates are rural roads and railways."
Conceptually, there is a strong case for channeling resources to
transport infrastructure in India given the widely known spillover effects of
transport networks to link markets, reduce a variety of costs, boost
agglomeration economies, and improve the competitiveness of the
economy, especially manufacturing which tends to be logistics-intensive.
However, resources need to be prioritized among sectors based on
assessments of risks, rewards, and capacity for efficient implementation."

Union budget 2015 16

  • 1. Union Budget 2015-16 Continuity, simplification & incrementalism Saturday, 28 February 2015 OPINION This report is not intended to provide personal investment advice and it does not take into account the specific investment objectives, financial situation and the particular needs of any specific person. Readers should seek financial advice regarding the appropriateness of investing in financial instruments and implementing investment strategies discussed or recommended in this report and should understand that statements regarding future prospects may not be realized. InvesTrekk Global Research (P) Limited does not provide portfolio management, stock broking or any other fund based service. The model portfolios mentioned in this report are merely to illustrate the investment style and strategy recommended in the present times. Please refer to the important disclosures at the end of this report. © Copyright 2012 InvesTrekk Global Research (P) Limited. All rights reserved. InvesTrekk – Trekking the path less travelled and InvesTrekk are trademarks of InvesTrekk Global Research (P) Limited. FM sails without rocking the boat The first full budget of the incumbent NDA government reinforces the trend seen in past three years. The focus continues on gradual simplification in the tax laws and procedures, withdrawing the fiscal stimulus, and building rural infrastructure. "Incrementalism" against "Big bang" has been the strategy and continues to be so. The question "whether FM could have done more?" is unfructuous in our view. Market economists dominate - Financial markets get a cause to cheer In a material departure from the past, the Union Budget, much like Railway Budget, has a distinct mark of the dominance of market economists. Historically the budget had been dominated by development economists. Financial markets should find a cause to cheer in this. Vision 2022 - all encompassing development, execution to improve The vision 2022 of the PM Modi finds some feet on the ground with this budget. The budget presents firm indications of execution strategy and plan for the vision to effect a wholesome improvement in the life of underprivileged (housing, water, power, health, education, access). "Plug and play" could be a game changer for infrastructure sector investments. Accelerated globalization - focus shifts on "enablement" from "provision" The budget seeks to accelerate the move towards globalization of fiscal practices and development policies. For example, consider the follwoing: (a) Social security for all. (b) Shades of Obamacare in health insurance, ESI to mediclaim etc. (c) 401K makes an appearance in the form of 80CCD (d) Platform for creating multiple layers of leverage (e) Cashless society living on plastic money (f) Foreign assets and income to strictly monitored & taxed just like US. Policy focus is conspicuously shifting on enablement of youth through skilling, inclusion and access rather than just providing through subsidies and doles. Team InvesTrekk investrekk@gmail.com

  • 9. 28 February 2015 9 Fiscal roadmap Assumptions  The Gross tax revenue has been estimated at 10.3 per cent of GDP in Budget 2015-16, with a growth of 15.8 per cent over RE 2014-15. Projections for 2015-16 have been made taking into account a realistic economic recovery and continuation of set of tax measures announced in the budget for 2014-15. It is also expected that reforms in the administrative machinery oriented towards strict implementation will yield result.  For the budget of 2015-16, receipts from disinvestment have been estimated at Rs41,000 crore.

These include sale of government holdings in non-government commercial entities, SUUTI, BALCO, HZL etc. Over the medium term frame work, an amount of Rs55,000cr and Rs50,000cr has been estimated for the years 2016-17 and 2017-18 respectively.  Total borrowings requirement for 2015-16 has been budgeted at Rs5,55,649cr.  Interest payment is projected at 49.6% of net tax to Centre, which is marked increase over the last year despite fiscal consolidation underway.  Major subsidies have been budgeted in 2015-16 at 1.6 per cent of GDP as against 2.0 per cent in BE 2014-15.  the GDP at current market prices expected to achieve a growth of 11.5 per cent in 2015-16 (real growth of 8.5 per cent and an implied inflation of 2.8 per cent) to attain a level of Rs14108945cr (US$2.28trn with USD= Rs62).
  • 10. 28 February 2015 10 Based on Economic Survey for 2014-15 Background of the Union Budget for FY16 The Union Budget for the fiscal year 2015-16 presented today is the first full scale budget of the incumbent government. Having given an overwhelming political mandate for faster, inclusive and sustainable development to the Prime Minister, all stakeholders have been looking forward to this budget with great anticipation of delivery on promises. The government has delivered in right earnest inasmuch as administrative corrections are concerned. However, the economic reforms remain a work in progress and standing at this juncture in time, the road does not look smooth. The economic survey for the year 2014-15, presented in the Parliament yesterday succinctly highlights the bumps in the road ahead and the strategy to move forward. The Budget should be interpreted in juxtaposition with this background to arrive at appropriate conclusion. Highlights of the Economic Survey 2014-15 • Real GDP Growth Rate for FY2015 pegged at 7.4%. • Average CPI to stand at 6.2% in FY2015. A further deceleration is expected opening up the space for further monetary policy easing • Assuming a further moderation in average annual price of crude oil the current account deficit is estimated at less than 1.0% of GDP in FY2016 • Risks from a shift in US monetary policy and turmoil in the Eurozone need to be watched but could remain within control • India’s services sector has grown rapidly in last decade with almost 72.4% of the growth in India’s coming from this sector which is growing in 2 digits • India’s e-commerce market is expected to grow by more than 50 per cent in the next five years • Proposals for the next five years, in renewable energy, are likely to generate business opportunities of the order of US$ 160 billion • With contained inflation and fiscal deficit, Liquidity conditions are likely to remain benign in FY2016. • To remain strong at external front, India should target foreign exchange reserves of $750Bn - $1 Tn over the long term • Expenditure control and expenditure switching, from consumption to investment, both in the short and medium term will be key for maintaining fiscal discipline • Raising economy-wide skills must complement efforts to improve the conditions for manufacturing • Skill India objective should be accorded high priority along with, and indeed in order to realize, ‘‘Make in India’’ • Infrastructure growth in terms of eight core industries has been higher than industrial growth since 2011-12 and this trend is expected to continue
  • 11. 28 February 2015 11 Creative incrementalism with selected boldness The policy stance of government so far has been incremental changes in status quo rather than any "big bang" departure from the past. This stance is likely to be maintained in the coming years also. "Equally though, the mandate received by the government affords a unique window of political opportunity which should not be foregone. India needs to follow what might be called “a persistent, encompassing, and creative incrementalism” but with bold steps in a few areas that signal a decisive departure from the past and that are aimed at addressing key problems such as ramping up investment, rationalizing subsidies, creating a competitive, predictable, and clean tax policy environment, and accelerating disinvestment. Thus, Weber’s wisdom cannot be a licence for inaction or procrastination. Boldness in areas where policy levers can be more easily pulled by the center combined with that incrementalism in other areas is a combination that can cumulate over time to Big Bang reforms. That is the appropriate standard against which future reforms must be assessed." Lagging employment growth a worry Unemployment is emerging to be the single most critical challenge for the policymakers. The challenge is even more severe in case of urban skilled workers who have been at the core of the India's urbanization so far. Given the current demographics of the country, a year's delay in finding a suitable job could jeopardize the whole professional career of a person. Moreover, in past few years the rural wages have declined steadily thus impacting the very fulcrum of the India's consumption story. "Regardless of which data source is used, it seems clear that employment growth is lagging behind growth in the labour force. For example, according to the Census, between 2001 and 2011, labor force growth was 2.23 percent (male and female combined). This is lower than most estimates of employment growth in this decade of closer to 1.4 percent. Creating more rapid employment opportunities is clearly a major policy challenge."
  • 12. 28 February 2015 12 Dramatic macro improvement warrant caution Helped by some prudent policy measures by the government, RBI, lower global commodity prices and some improvement in business conditions, the matrix of India's macro parameters has improved materially in past 4-6 qtrs. However given the speed and nature of the improvement some caution is in order and jumping to bold decisions may prove counterproductive at this stage. "India’s macroeconomic improvement has been nothing short of dramatic—inflation has been cut in half to about 5 percent today, underlying rural wage growth has declined from over 20 percent to below 5 percent, and the current account deficit has shrivelled from over 6.7 percent of GDP (in Q 3, 2012-13) to an estimated 1.0 percent in the coming fiscal year. That said, there is hardly room for fiscal complacency. To understand why, to realize where India needs to go, it is important to understand where it has been, and to draw lessons from this experience. The similarity between India’s situation today and in the early 2000s makes this exercise especially important." Corporate balance sheets stressed, execution to remain challenged The revival of investment cycle and improvement in project execution is also contingent upon strong corporate balance sheets. The data shows that the stress in corporate balance sheets has risen materially in past five years. "India needs to tread the path of investment-driven growth. Can the private sector be expected to rise to the occasion? Highly leveraged corporate balance sheets, and a banking system under severe stress suggest that this will prove challenging." "The biggest lesson from stalled projects and the associated credit aided infrastructure bubble is that perhaps more than a run up problem (over exuberant and misdirected private investment), we face a clean-up problem (bankruptcy laws, asset restructuring, etc.). Creative solutions are necessary for distributing pain equally amongst the stakeholders from past deals gone sour. An idea to fix the clean-up problem is setting up of a high powered Independent Renegotiation Committee. In the presence of a market and regulatory failure, perhaps a creative step would be to involve external experts for a quick and independent resolution of the problems." "Many infrastructure projects are today financially stressed, accounting for almost a third of stressed assets in banks. New projects cannot attract sponsors, as in recent NHAI bids, and banks are unwilling to lend. Given its riskiness, pension and insurance funds have sensibly limited their exposure to these projects. This current state of the public private partnership (PPP) model is due to poorly designed frameworks, which need restructuring." As per a research study by Credit Suisse, almost one third of the companies are not earning enough to meet their interest liability.
  • 13. 28 February 2015 13 (ICR = Interest Coverage Ratio) Banking sector repressed and stressed The challenges in the Indian banking system fall into two categories: policy and structure. "The policy challenge relates to financial repression. The Indian banking system is afflicted by what might be called “double financial repression”. Financial repression on the asset side of the balance sheet is created by the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) requirement that forces banks to hold government securities, and priority sector lending (PSL) that forces resource deployment in lessthan-fully efficient ways. Financial repression on the liability side has arisen from high inflation since 2007, leading to negative real interest rates, and a sharp reduction in households’ financial savings. As India exits from liability-side repression with declining inflation, the time may be appropriate for addressing its asset-side counterparts." The structural problems relate to competition and ownership. First, there appears to be a lack of competition, reflected in the private sector banks’ inability to increase their presence. Indeed, one of the paradoxes of recent banking history is that the share of the private sector in overall banking aggregates barely increased at a time when the country witnessed its most rapid growth and one that was fuelled by the private sector. It was an anomalous case of private sector growth without private sector bank financing. Even allowing for the irrational exuberance of the Public Sector Banks (PSBs) that financed this growth phase, the reticence of the private sector was striking. Finally, even within the public sector banks there is sufficient variation in performance. Viewing public sector banks as one homogenous block would be a mistake."
  • 14. 28 February 2015 14 Need for public investment, Railways selected to engine the growth Since the new government assumed office, a slew of economic reforms has led to a partial revival of investor sentiment. But increasing financial flows are yet to translate into a durable pick-up of real investment, especially in the private sector. This owes to a number of interrelated factors that stem from what has been identified as the “balance sheet syndrome with Indian characteristics.” If the weakness of private investment offers one negative or indirect rationale for increased public investment, there are also more affirmative rationales. "The two biggest challenges facing increased public investment in India are financial resources and implementation capacity. the trick is to find sectors with maximum positive spillovers and institutions with a modicum of proven capacity for investing quickly and efficiently. Two prime candidates are rural roads and railways." Conceptually, there is a strong case for channeling resources to transport infrastructure in India given the widely known spillover effects of transport networks to link markets, reduce a variety of costs, boost agglomeration economies, and improve the competitiveness of the economy, especially manufacturing which tends to be logistics-intensive. However, resources need to be prioritized among sectors based on assessments of risks, rewards, and capacity for efficient implementation."
