Inflation rising, MPC will have to tread a cautious path, says Upasna Bhardwaj of Kotak Mahindra Bank

2. August 2021 Sandeep Stock Market Research (0)

Beyond August, we expect the onset of gradual monetary policy normalization, with liquidity management tools at the fore to reset the floor rate slowly within the policy corridor. For sure, the RBI will need to be more agile in using a variety of tools to calibrate the policy.

The Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy committee's (MPC) dilemma has worsened since it last met in June, with the two inflation readings released after the meeting shooting past the central bank's upper tolerance band of 6 percent.

The high-frequency data continues to improve, signalling that the worst is behind us. MPC’s statement and the minutes both had highlighted the upside risks to inflation, with adequate reference to the need for the government to take measures on the supply-side inflation.

However, we haven’t seen much traction on that front, which continues to keep upside risks to inflation intact. The progress of the monsoon has been tepid, weighing on kharif sowing, which remains about 8.9 percent lower than the last year.

The rains in the coming two months will be crucial to buffer from further supply shocks. More importantly, even before the inflation overshot, some MPC members in the June minutes were cautious on inflation, with one member noting that “clear signs of generalization in CPI (consumer price index) inflation setting in could be a tipping point where growth-inflation dynamics could alter”.

The members also highlighted that the “scope for accommodation existed since CPI inflation remained within the tolerance band”.

While we believe that inflation may trend below 6 percent from the next reading but upside risks remain amid weak monsoons and elevated global commodity prices.

Against this backdrop, MPC will have to tread carefully in managing the forward guidance, both on the policy and liquidity front. We believe that RBI’s room to ignore the inflationary risks is becoming increasingly difficult and it will soon have to get into action, though gradually.

In response to the inflationary threats, several emerging central banks have started to either hike policy rates or are tilting towards it. A few central banks in developed economies have started tapering or ending their pandemic relief asset purchase programmes.

There is already a growing debate on the timing, scale and pace of the RBI’s process of policy normalisation. Any guidance on the durability of the accommodative policy would bring in some sanity in the market.

Although as a lead signal, RBI is slowly letting lose its hold on bond yields and allowing a gradual settling on higher levels.

While in the upcoming policy we expect a status quo on rates and stance, the focus will be on the underlying tone of the statement, given the increasing risks of inflation.

We expect the RBI to revise its inflation outlook trajectory by 30-50bps across quarters, while the growth forecast of 9.5 percent may be only marginally tweaked accounting for the upside to their Q1FY22 projections— the central bank’s recent bulletin provides an estimate for Q1FY22 GDP of 22.1 percent compared to 18.5 percent mentioned in the June policy.

While near-term growth-related uncertainties will hold back MPC from changing the monetary policy stance in the August policy, it will be interesting to see any split in the voting pattern, given the improving growth momentum amid increasing inflationary risks.

Beyond August, we expect the onset of gradual monetary policy normalization, with liquidity management tools at the fore to reset the floor rate slowly within the policy corridor. For sure, the RBI will need to be more agile in using a variety of tools to calibrate policy.

Tools like the overnight voluntary retention route (VRR), increase in quantum of 14-day VRR and allowing non-bank participation in the VRR could be the playbook before a reverse repo hike in December.

Break the stigma: Time to make mental health part of sick leaves

31. July 2021 Sandeep Stock Market Research (0)

http://sharetipsinfo.comJust get registered at Sharetipsinfo and earn positive returns

Employees are often forced to give excuses for taking time off for mental health. It is crucial that organizations make mental health leave a standard HR practice.

Polls are popular on social media lately . One such asked users about the justifications that they gave at workplaces to hunt day off for psychological state .

The answers range from headaches, indigestion , viral fever to even funerals of grandparents (who are dead).One thing is obvious . Employees are hesitant about admitting that they needed leaves for emotional health. And what option do they really have?

Sick leaves are restricted to about 10-12 days a year at the most companies unless there's hospitalization for a medical emergency. Amidst this, the concept of psychological state leaves is non-existent.

While it does appear to be psychological state awareness is rising at Indian workplaces, this is not true everywhere. invite a three-day psychological state leave from your employer and therefore the cold stares will follow.

"My company has psychological state awareness sessions often. But the truth is that the HR team itself isn't conscious of these issues. If you time interval off, they ask questions and even proof," said Megha Gonsalves, a technology professional from Mumbai.

The 'proof' that companies enforce refers to the doctors' certificate for sick leaves. But what about mental health? How will an employee be ready to produce such documents, unless he/she is hospitalised for further treatment?

Here, having a transparent policy for psychological state would help. as an example , why can't psychological state leaves be made a part of the regular sick leave? this is able to enable employees to require day off for anxiety/depression and allied issues without feeling guilty.

Companies could offer say upto five to seven days during a year as psychological state leaves. The key here is to trust the worker and not invite proof. No such proof exists except the medical bills for anti-depressants which isn't prescribed to everyone.

Corporate HR managers would say why have these leaves within the first place when individual employees can approach their team managers for specific time off? the solution here is stigma.

At a mean Indian workplace, psychological state issues would cause employees being termed 'unstable' and 'unreliable'.

Shaeeda Nigam, a 29-year-old human resource professional from Kolkata recounts how she was faraway from a key project overnight when she sought leave to ascertain a therapist.

"I are handling severe anxiety and panic attacks since 2019. I just needed two days leave to ascertain a psychologist and obtain some medical tests done. But this backfired and that i was faraway from a core project i used to be performing on ," says Nigam.

She has now switched jobs but remains not fully comfortable seeking leaves for psychological state . Nigam expains that while her team knows about her anxiety issues, there's still an inherent fear that her employer may consider her incapable.

"Often, I structure excuses of getting a fever. Because unfortunately fever is suitable but anxiety isn't ," admits Nigam.

While workplace stress is among the various reasons for deteriorating psychological state , having a conducive HR policy to permit psychological state leaves may be a must-have.

But, preconceived notions about employees 'faking it' continue at the workplaces. Also, what must be drilled down is that psychological state is simply like all other medical condition that's treatable with therapy and drugs .

Priyanuj Tyagi who heads talent management at an insurance broking firm in Hyderabad says that offering psychological state leaves may be a tricky situation because they would not want employees to misuse leaves.

When asked whether the organisation will take responsibility for a mental breakdown of a staffer within the office, he has no answers.

Corporates also got to realise that there's a transparent impact of psychological state on productivity. So if an employee turns up at work with a nasty psychological state , this might affect their daily tasks and eventually also cause financial losses.

The World Health Organization estimated that India will suffer economic losses amounting to a staggering 1.03 trillion dollars from psychological state conditions between 2012 and 2030.

Though India-specific information isn't available, data from the American Psychiatric Association showed that employees with unresolved depression experience a 35 percent reduction in productivity. this is able to contribute a whopping $210.5 billion loss a year in absenteeism, reduced productivity, and medical costs to the US economy.

The Indian economy and its corporations can certainly not afford these losses. the choice to supply psychological state sick leaves must be made soon; better late than never.

National Education Policy launches credit-based flexible courses for students, to reduce dropouts

30. July 2021 Sandeep Stock Market Research (0)

http://sharetipsinfo.comJust get registered at Sharetipsinfo and earn positive returns

After the first year of a UG degree, a certificate will be awarded. On completion of the second year, a diploma will be awarded while the three-year program completion will lead to a Bachelor's Degree.

Imagine this situation. A student realizes that he/she does not have the aptitude/interest in the engineering course they have enrolled into. Leaving midway would mean that they lose an entire year, including fees and academics. So, what is the alternative?

Rather than dropping out of the course, this student can now store credits earned in the year into an 'Academic Bank', and join any other program within seven years.

Lateral entry and exit from higher educational programs was a long-standing demand in India. As part of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the government has now allowed this formally.

The NEP 2020 completed one year on July 29. On this occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Academic Bank of Credit (ABC) that will facilitate multiple entry/exit into courses.

To enable this, the University Grants Commission (Establishment and Operation of Academic Bank Of Credits in Higher Education) Regulations, 2021, have been notified. These guidelines will govern the entry and exit into all universities (including the deemed-to-be category) and autonomous colleges.

This will be applicable from the academic year 2021-22. So credits earned from this year onwards can be stored digitally.

Here is a look at how the new ABC system will work:

What is the credit system in a college education?

The regulations state 'credit' means the standard methodology for calculating one hour of theory or one hour of tutorial or two hours of laboratory work per week for a semester (13-15 weeks).

This leads to the award of one credit by the educational institution. In addition, credits for the internship will be one per week of internship, subject to a maximum of six credits. These credits are stored digitally using DigiLocker.

Where will these credits be stored?

The credits will be stored in an ABC or Academic Bank Account. This is similar to a regular savings bank account which an individual student can operate.

Once this account is opened, all academic credits will be deposited into it. These credits will be required to award degrees, diplomas, or certificates on completion of an academic course. Each student can store these credits for a maximum of seven years.

If a student switches from one course to another within the recognized universities/colleges under UGC, the credits in the academic bank can be redeemed.

But remember that your university/college has to first get registered with the UGC for enrolling into ABC. Students shall be required to earn at least 50 percent credits from the parent institution, where he/she is enrolled for a program.

Are all students eligible to enroll in this academic bank?

No. Eligible institutes are universities and autonomous colleges accredited by either the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with minimum ‘A’ grade, or by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for at least three program (s) with a minimum score of 675 individually.

However, if the number of program (s) being run by the institution is less than three, 675 or more marks should be secured in each of the programs.

An alternative is that they should be among the top 100 National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF). Similarly, Indian Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs), appearing in the top 1,000 world ranking of Quacquarelli Symons (QS)/ Times Higher Education (THE), or are declared Institutions of Eminence (IoE), are also eligible.

How does the credit system work?

There are five levels -- Level 5 to Level 10. After the completion of each level, which is typically two semesters, a student is eligible to get either a certificate, diploma, or degree.

For entry into level 5, the eligibility is a school leaving certificate after the completion of Class 12. Over and above this are the entry requirements specific to each university/HEI.

Once a student completes the first year in college with 36-40 credits, he/she is awarded a certificate.

Credit

In case he/she decides to exit the program, the ABC will store these credits that can be redeemed for rejoining this course or an allied course within seven years.

If the student continues to the second year and completes it with 72-80 credits, a diploma is awarded. Similar to the first year, he/she can exit at this stage with a diploma and can rejoin within seven years after redeeming the credits.

Once a student completes the third year of a UG degree program, he/she will be awarded a Bachelor's Degree. Here, 108-120 credits are required.

When it comes to the Master's level, a student can exit after one year, with a one-year diploma. Completion of the full two-year program will lead to a Master's Degree.

Over and above this is the doctoral degree for which the course work and the thesis will determine its completion. The MPhil program has been done away with.

Can anyone enter courses laterally?

While the ABC will store credits for a maximum duration of seven years, he will have to frame rules for lateral entry. This means that the entry of students directly into the second/third year of a course will depend on the rules set by each HEI.

Here, students who have pursued allied courses will be allowed lateral entry. So if you are an English literature student who wants to switch to engineering in the second/third year, that wouldn't be possible.

Also, the UGC guidelines have stated that a student can only enter at odd semesters and exit at even semesters. This means that you cannot enter/exit a program in the middle of an academic year and should have completed at least two semesters.

A similar glide path will be followed for entry/exit in the vocational education field as well.

The overall gold demand during the second quarter of 2020 calendar year stood at 63.8 tonnes, according to the WGC's "Gold Demand Trends Q2 2021" report.

India's gold demand increased by 19.2 percent to 76.1 tonne during the April-June quarter this year, largely due to low base effect, owing to the nationwide lockdown that hit economic activity last year, the World Gold Council (WGC) said in a report.

The overall gold demand during the second quarter of the 2020 calendar year stood at 63.8 tonnes, according to the WGC's "Gold Demand Trends Q2 2021" report.

In value terms, India's gold demand witnessed 23 percent growth during the April-June quarter at Rs 32,810 crore, compared to Rs 26,600 crore during the corresponding period of 2020.

However, demand plunged 46 percent quarter-on-quarter as the second wave of COVID-19 hit the nation, according to the report.

"Demand in H1 totaled 157.6 tonnes, which was 46 percent below H1 2019, and 39 percent lower than the H1 average from 2015-2019," the WGC data stated.

"The second quarter of 2021 was marked by widespread regional lockdowns following a rise in COVID infections. Unlike the previous year when a national lockdown took businesses by surprise, this quarter was relatively better as businesses were more prepared.

"Demand in Q2 2021, showed a 19.2 percent year-on-year increase on a very low base of Q2' 2020, the impact was, however, severe as it muted demand during Akshaya Tritiya and wedding season in Q2," WGC Regional CEO, India, Somasundaram PR told PTI.

Total jewelry demand during the second quarter was up by 25 percent at 55.1 tonnes, compared to 44 tonnes in the same quarter last year, the report said.

In value terms, jewelry demand was up by 29 percent at Rs 23,750 crores compared to Rs 18,350 crore in the corresponding period last year.

Total investment demand during the second quarter increased by 6 percent in the country at 21 tonnes in comparison with 19.8 tonnes during April-June 2020.

Gold Investment demand in value terms went up by 10 percent at Rs 9,060 crore, against Rs 8,250 crore in the same quarter of 2020.

Total gold recycled in India during the second quarter was 19.7 tonnes compared to 13.8 tonnes in April-June 2020, an increase of 43 percent.

Gold imports in India surged to 120.4 tonnes during the April-June quarter, as compared to 10.9 tonnes in Q2 2020, according to the WGC data.

Somasundaram further noted that the digital solutions and pause in restrictions in some pockets helped the growth of 25 percent in jewelry demand, to 55.1 tonnes.

"Investment demand grew 6 percent to 21 tonnes as prices softened. Interestingly, imports surged to 120.4 tonnes in anticipation of pick up in fabrication. Overall, gold demand in India in H1 2021 was 216.1 tonnes, up 30 percent versus H1 2020," he added.

Though it is still a multi-year low, it reflects an underlying demand momentum that will likely support a sharp spike in demand once normalcy is restored on the COVID front, he opined.

Going forward, he said, demand is expected to come back in a big way, however, the consumer confidence and business response are subject to the impact of a looming threat of the third wave of COVID and the pace of economic recovery.

"One view, most comforting, is that given the pace of vaccination and the serosurvey results, as a society, we may learn to live with COVID and its variants, ensuring businesses and sales become more resilient," he pointed out.

Dhanteras and the upcoming season, which has more auspicious wedding days in Q4 2021, compared to the previous year appear positive for demand, said Somasundaram."For the gold investment segment, however, attractive equity markets and volatile gold prices are strong headwinds. Consumer behavior is linked to several economic and non-economic variables that pose great difficulty in making any forecast of full-year gold demand in India," he added.

30 Years Of Reforms | The gap between aspirations and reality

In 1991, Manmohan Singh spoke of the need to increase the efficiency and international competitiveness of industrial production of domestic entities, as did his successors, but there was little government support that was crucial for realizing this objective.

n his first Budget Speech on July 24, 1991, then Finance Minister Manmohan Singh effectively laid the foundations of India’s trade and investment liberalization agenda. Providing a strong rationale for the government’s decision to embrace an open-door policy, Singh argued, “time has come to expose Indian industry to competition from abroad in a phased manner”.

For the PV Narasimha Rao government, ushering in the policy of trade liberalization was clearly one of its priorities. Within a month of its taking over, the Finance Minister announced in Parliament that the government had “introduced changes in import-export policy, aimed at a reduction of import licensing, vigorous export promotion and optimal import compression”.

The pathway chosen by the government had its strong advocates. In an oft-quoted paper, Michael Lipton and Jeffrey Sachs had argued that free trade instantly brings to bear on domestic firms the competition of the rest of the world, which almost resonated with Singh’s arguments. Lipton-Sachs’ advice was for the adoption of open-door policies at one stroke, euphemistically called the ‘big bang approach. Strong support for such policies was also extended by the World Bank, which spoke of the merits of phasing out quantitative restrictions rapidly and reducing tariffs to reasonably low and uniform levels, such as a range of 15-25 percent. Further, the World Bank favored.

The Government of India undertook trade liberalization through steep reductions in tariffs. Thus, India’s simple average of import tariffs was reduced from nearly 82 percent in 1990 to 56 percent in 1992, while its trade-weighted tariffs came down from nearly 50 percent to 28 percent. The Tax Reforms Committee headed by Raja Chelliah established in 1991 to draw up a roadmap for reducing import tariffs, proposed that the trade-weighted import tariffs should be reduced to 25 percent by 1995-96, from nearly 50 percent in 1990, which was consistent with the World Bank target.

Interestingly, the government went beyond this target, reducing average trade-weighted tariffs to 23.6 percent in 1996, with the simple average of tariffs at 38.7 percent.

The process of reduction of import tariffs came to a near standstill in the second half of the 1990s. By 2000, the average of trade-weighted tariffs remained at the level of 1996, while the simple average tariffs declined marginally to 33.7 percent. In 1997, the then Finance Minister, P Chidambaram, tried to provide momentum to the trade liberalization agenda by announcing that by the turn of the millennium India’s average tariffs would be brought down to single digits tariffs, comparable to those adopted by the ASEAN members.

India’s average import tariffs did not decline to single digits immediately, but the United Front government did take an important step towards lowering tariffs. This it did by signing on to the Information Technology Agreement of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and agreeing to eliminate tariffs on a range of electronic products from the turn of the millennium.

India’s trade liberalization pathway was never a smooth affair as tariffs could not be lowered for several important manufacturing industries such as automobiles, and, of course, agriculture. In the Doha Round negotiations in the WTO, India adopted an agnostic view regarding trade liberalization.

Importantly, successive Union governments, irrespective of their political affiliations, have held this view in the multilateral trade negotiations. At the same time, however, they have engaged in negotiating free trade agreements (FTAs) in their efforts to forge strategic partnerships. But in recent years, the officialdom has questioned these agreements, suggesting that trade liberalization via FTAs has not favored India.

Why has India emerged as a reluctant liberalizer after its enthusiastic endorsement of trade liberalization three decades back?

The answer is the lack of competitiveness of Indian enterprises in the global markets. Singh spoke of the need to increase the efficiency and international competitiveness of industrial production of domestic entities, as did his successors, but there was little government support that was crucial for realizing this objective.

Thus, while India’s policymakers aspired to make the economy as open as those in the ASEAN region, they ignored the fact that proactive governments in these countries lent consistent support to a slew of efforts for strengthening their manufacturing sectors. Critical investments in both physical and human infrastructure and building vibrant innovation systems were among the more significant of these.

Under Singh’s prime ministership, attention was paid for the first time to find ways for improving the dismal state of India’s manufacturing. However, during the period since, strengthening the sinews of the manufacturing sector has not got the expected fillip.
