Short term rates rose after the RBI implemented measures to tighten liquidity and curb currency volatility, including raising rates and reducing banks' liquidity adjustment facility borrowing limits. However, liquidity is expected to ease in the coming weeks as the credit growth slows, the currency in circulation decreases, and the government receives dividend payments from the RBI in mid-August, which it may use to fund spending and loosen liquidity conditions.

Retail inflation in India remains above the central bank's target due to high food prices. While industrial production is trending upward, it may not significantly boost overall output. The rupee strengthened after the central bank took steps to tighten inflation measures and increase dollar inflows.

Upcoming inflation and fiscal deficit numbers will influence monetary policy decisions and bond yields.

The document provides a summary of macroeconomic indicators and monetary policy developments in India for November 2013. It notes that retail inflation remains high at around 9% while GDP growth is forecast below 5% for fiscal year 2014.

1. International Business
Strategy Event
Inspiring Scottish Businesses to Internationalise
Thursday 3rd March 2011
Dalmahoy Hotel, Edinburgh
Enabling International Growth
Internationalisation represents the single biggest opportunity for growing Scottish companies and is one of the major
factors that could accelerate our economic recovery.
To maximise this opportunity we have to commit to developing an international mindset which raises our international
aspirations for Scottish businesses and industry.
We know success in global markets is not about the size of your company or how many languages you speak but it
is about having the right skills and being prepared. Many businesses tell us however that the perceived barriers to
internationalisation prevent them from making that initial step into new markets.
That’s why Scottish Enterprise and Scottish Development International are offering all aspiring Scottish companies the
chance to attend ‘Enabling International Growth’ - a one day event that focuses on the opportunities for overseas trade
and development and how companies can address the barriers they might face.
Delegates will have the opportunity to hear from speakers with first-hand experience in international growth, learn
from a wide range of business leaders and make those crucial face-to-face introductions. There will also be round
table discussions, supported by members of our GlobalScot network.
Venue Dalmahoy Hotel, Edinburgh
Date Thursday 3rd March 2011
Time 9.00am refreshments for 9.30am prompt start.
The event will be chaired by Alasdair Northrop of Scottish Business Insider.
Key speakers include;
• Anne MacColl – Chief Executive Scottish Development International
• Mike Keiller – Chief Executive Morrison Bowmore
• Nick Price – Managing Director Bright Purple Resourcing
• Chris van der Kuyl – Chief Executive BrightSolid and a Globalscot representative.
Mick McHugh, company growth support director, Scottish Enterprise, will also emphasise the key focus that Scottish
Enterprise is placing on internationalisation to address the challenges of accessing global markets.
