CII’s flagship monthly publication Economy Watch has been now revamped and rechristened as ‘Economy Matters’. Apart from encompassing all the key features of the old version, the new issue also carries a new section on Corporate Profitability to keep readers abreast about the latest trends in corporate performance. The ‘Economy Matters’ brought out by CII Research seeks to provide an in-depth update on current trends in the domestic and international economy and helps in tracking policy developments and understanding industry dynamics.
2020 ends with a world economic contraction above 4%, the biggest GDP decrease since World War 2. Among developed nations, growth comes to a standstill after the renewal of activity in Q3 as a result of the surge in cases and the movement restrictions. Services, especially those related to the hotel and leisure industry, experience the biggest losses. On the other hand, industry is advancing at a steady rhythm as international trade is reactivated.
In the US, the perspectives appear to indicate that the economy will register positive growth in Q4 2020, in spite of the recent surge in Covid-19 cases. In this context, the Fed has improved its growth forecasts and has announced that it will maintain its stimulus policy until there are improvements in employment and inflation reaches the target levels in the medium- to long-term (most likely at the end of 2022).
In the Eurozone, where restrictions have been tighter, a new contraction in GDP in Q4 is expected. Also, the outlook for Q1 2021 indicates that economic activity will not experience any significant growth, in spite of the vaccination campaigns in place by a variety of governments in member states.
In emerging economies, although a slight recovery is expected due to the reactivation of trade and the increase in prices for raw materials, different levels of performance can be observed. China, with the spread of the virus under control, is the country with the best economic data among the main powers. Other Asian economies such as Taiwan or Vietnam forecast annual growth rates close to 2% for 2020. On the other hand, India’s economy has slumped, with a decrease of -7.4%. In South America, the lack of control caused by the pandemic has added to several structural issues that are dragging down some economies (high levels of debt and unemployment), all of which is conditioning future recovery.
Export nations need to ensure that supply chains remain as intact as possible. This means that when and where credit insurers are withdrawing from covering international trade during this crisis, the government exceptionally steps in. Otherwise there is a risk a collapse of finely woven supply chains.”

Global economic situation
The world economys recovery continues although its sustainability isn tassured in a context of pandemic outbreaks and uncertainty about its future evolution, disruptions in supply chains and inflationary pressures on raw materials and energy. The differing vaccination rates and the support policies applied in each country to lessen the pandemic s impact have deepened divergences in growth, mainly between advanced economies and low income countries.
A positive performance is expected in all world regions in 2021, although growth in sub Saharan Africa and the Middle East will be lower than in the rest of the regions. Inadequate access to vaccines and regional political instability are two of the causes of this worse performance.

Economy and equity markets: are they disconnected?Markets Beyond
Equity markets are not disconnected from the real economy and there no reason, under the current circumstances, to fear a market collapse. The S&P 500 is however no longer cheap.
Highlights
• 6.1% growth in 2009-10Q1, drought restricts potential ahead
• Construction and services power growth while manufacturing picks up
• Need to target rabi crop as monsoon deficit stands currently at 25%
• Growth estimated at 6.6% this fiscal, inflation bigger worry
• While food price pressure will ease by winter, commodities set to rise e.g steel
India: Kal, aaj aur kal
Throughout the gloom of last year, we have been optimistic about the growth in India, our estimates of more than 6% growth this year were amongst the highest while finance whizzes were busy forecasting dire numbers in the range of 4-6%. In our January newsletter we had said that by the second half of this year, there would be an overall improvement. We had also cautioned that a deflationary situation that was being discussed was of little import here where inflation would be the prime worry. As the months passed and the revival became more apparent, estimates were rapidly revised upwards, both of growth and inflation. Though some find this surprising, we maintain, that this was all predictable, as was the downturn, and as is the inflationary environment in coming months.
As we go ahead, growth will show ‘surprising’ levels, e.g. the IIP numbers can get close to 10% - on the back of low base of last year, electricity and mining are doing better this year, vehicle sales are soaring with domestic festival demand etc. We see no reason to cheer though. The past year has taken a heavy toll on the finances of the government and investment plans in the private sector, consumer confidence has also been hit hard, while inflation has eaten gaping holes in the common man’s wallet. Moreover, the true impact of the poor monsoon will be known only by the year end. The financial sector types meanwhile are having a field day once more, rapidly pushing up spirits and stock markets. Some are even getting into debates on whether this slowdown would take the shape of a V, U, W, or the Riemann’s zeta function, as Bloomberg columnist Moynihan quipped.
It is important to remember though that the ‘green shoots’ which are growing tall now have sprung up in response to fiscal stimuli and rate cuts worldwide, not through any change in fundamental factors. Work is on towards changing standards of regulation and supervision internationally, but these will take time to be implemented. In the meanwhile, we have to point out that we are now tired of stressing on one issue - that such high levels of expenditures, in India and abroad, are inflationary whatever way one tries to handle it. Expectedly, the rational components of financial markets recognize this problem and we are seeing significant upward pressure on interest rates. This is a natural outcome of government over-spending.
There is a possibility that to get around this problem this government may try to borrow from abroad. And if that happens on a large enough scale, the final degree of freedom that the government will have, would have been used up. We therefore do not support such an initiative, despite its short term advantages of keeping upward interest rate pressures under check. Note that India has done something similar in the past (during the Rajiv Gandhi years) when it borrowed internationally and spent on unproductive activities. For a few years things looked very good, but pressures were building. The ruling conglomeration in the post Rajiv Gandhi years just did not have the ability to handle the pressures so generated. We all know the final outcome.
At the end of the day we cannot spend this much without paying for it one way or another. And it is better to pay by way of lower investment, higher interest and prices, rather than macro-economic instability. But the first best solution remains the same - don’t spend on unproductive activities please.

Swiss Re sigma 3/2019: World insurance: the great pivot east continuesΔρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Global insurance premium volumes passed a new benchmark high of USD 5 trillion in 2018. Global life premium growth was weak, but there was solid performance in non-life in 2018.
The central narrative of this year's annual world insurance sigma is the continued rise of the emerging markets, mostly emerging Asia and China in particular, as the main drivers of industry growth. From 11% in 2018, China's share of global premiums will rise to 20% by 2029. China remains on course to become the world's biggest insurance market by mid-2030s. The whole of Asia-Pacific will account for 42% of the global premiums by 2029.
Swiss Re Institute forecasts close to 3% global premium growth in real terms per annum in 2019/20, against a slowing but still positive economic backdrop. Advanced market premiums will grow by 1.5%, and emerging markets by 7.9%. China will be the largest contributor, in both life and non-life. Overall, however, the advanced markets will still provide almost half of additional premiums in absolute terms in the next two years.

India : Kal, aaj aur kal
As we have been emphasising in the past few newsletters, despite the negative WPI inflation numbers, all is not calm on the inflation front. Right now attention has focused on inflation in food articles and manufactured food products, standing provisionally at 9.7% and 8.5% for the week ending July 25th. Consumer price indices for June are also registering higher inflation than previous months, CPI AL for instance stands at 11.52% inflation; this is on top of the 8.77% rate in June 2008. Clearly, the government’s ‘touchy feely’ talk on being the saviour of the poor has been negated by inflation. Could the government have done anything different? We believe it could have and should have. By preferring to reduce emphasis on the consequences of a high fiscal deficit on inflation, the government has done a great disservice to the country.

The Saturday Economist, UK Economic Outlook June 2016John Ashcroft
Growth in 2015 was 2.3% down from 2.9% in 2014. We now expect growth of 2.2% in 2016 … following the disappointing performance of manufacturing and construction in the first quarter.
The inflation outlook is still muted, with the fall in world oil, energy, food and commodity prices continuing to dominate headline inflation.
The UK economy grew by 2.0% in the first quarter, revisions to construction and manufacturing growth pulling total output lower. The service sector continues to drive growth.
In this June economics update we forecast world growth of 3.2% in 2016 up from 3.1% in 2015. UK Inflation will average just 0.3%, CPI basis, over the balance of the year 2016. Unemployment will continue to fall, government borrowing will also fall. The service sector will lead the recovery as manufacturing and construction output falls slightly.
We are forecasting a modest fall in manufacturing of around 0.2% in 2016 with a 0.9% fall in construction activity based on the latest data. The trade figures will continue to disappoint, offset by a further £2 billion oil dividend, despite a moderate oil price recovery. The challenge to the current account following the drop in overseas investment income continues and will present a significant problem to the outlook for sterling over the medium term.
Our forecast is based on a "remain" referendum outcome! .

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
