...ativeBudget Analysis: The present Budget of Bangladesh for the year FY14-15 has been presented at a time when the Bangladeshi economy is heading towards a high growth trajectory, albeit certain challenges such as elevated inflation, high Current Account Deficit (CAD), and moderating growth of industrial production, lack of capital investment, poor level of power & energy, low level of liquidity, etc. At the current juncture, what was required from the Budget was to address the issue of inflation and support growth momentum, while maintaining the focus on fiscal consolidation and continuing ahead on the reform agenda. Increased allocation of planned resources towards infrastructure projects along with the proposals to direct foreign funds and private saving towards infrastructure sector will unlock much of the growth potential of the sector. Although the continued force on infrastructure along with power & energy, agriculture and education sectors is expected to provide significant impetus to economic growth in the medium-term, measures to control inflation in the immediate future were missing in the budget announcements. On the fiscal deficit front, the budgeted fiscal deficit is 5% of GDP for FY14-15. This indicates government will face lot of trouble in near future. This can be reduced through increasing Tax revenue, reduce debt service liability and etc. Budgeted Expenditure for FY14-15 For FY14-15, total expenditure is budgeted to increase by 15.9% to 250,506...

...Monetary Policy Statement (July-December 2012: H1FY13) Executive Summary This issue of the Bangladesh Bank (BB) half yearly Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) outlines the monetary policy stance that BB will pursue in H1 FY13 (July-December 2012), based on an assessment of global and domestic macro-economic conditions and outlook. BB’s monetary policy has two major objectives: (i) maintaining inflation at moderate levels and (ii) supporting inclusive growth objectives of the Government. This MPS was preceded by productive consultations with a range of key stakeholders and web-based comments were also received. In FY10 and FY11 the global economy continued languishing in the aftermath of the 2009 global financial crisis and BB eased monetary policy in order to limit the impact on the Bangladesh economy. Due to this and other pro-active measures, the Bangladesh economy emerged largely unscathed from this global crisis, averaging over 6% growth between FY09 and FY11. In FY12 the economy faced a different set of challenges related to rising inflation and balance of payments pressures. In order to address these challenges BB’s monetary stance was more restrained than earlier years and yet able to accommodate a private sector credit growth rate which was more than sufficient to meet the initial GDP growth target. The monetary growth targets set in January 2012 were met and the key outcomes – falling inflation and containment of external sector pressures – were achieved...

...claim to have read the manuscript Of Changes and Transformations: Bangladesh Bank [July 2009-June 2013] highlighting changes the central bank has gone through in the past four years, but certainly had a cursory look at it. The publication of the book is of great significance at a time when the present government has just completed its four years in office. I welcome this initiative by Bangladesh Bank. I would like to thank Governor Dr. Atiur Rahman and others concerned with the project. The effort put in by the editors and their team of script writers to enrich the volume is certainly praiseworthy. I am extremely delighted to have the opportunity to write few words upon the book. Here I would like to touch upon the key aspects of the revolutionary changes that I have witnessed in Bangladesh Bank during the past four years. Firstly, digitization has taken place rapidly in the central bank and the whole banking sector was quick to follow suit. Secondly, mobile banking has been introduced and expanded significantly. This process will come its fruition with the introduction of PayPal payment system. Thirdly, revolutionary changes have taken place in CSR. Fourthly, Bangladesh Bank has achieved commendable success in financial inclusion program. Bangladesh Bank's role in involving the mass people into financial activities is undeniable. Finally, the establishment of Currency Museum is a great initiative of Bangladesh Bank. I would now like to say a few words on the economic condition...

...27 March 2012 India Tractors The growth story continues continues…. Mayur Milak (+91 22 ) 4096 9749 mayurm@dolatcapital.com mayurm@dolatcapital com 1 Executive summary Why did we do a follow-up report on tractors NOW ? The tractor industry has grown at a CAGR of ~12% during last five years. After a splendid performance, during the last two to three years, the Indian tractor industry is believed to head for a slow-down , we believe otherwise and hence our stance to b buy i into tractor at this j hi juncture. Our takeaways: There is an increasing lack of cheap farm labour due to migration to urban areas, leading to more mechanisation. Further, f F h farm i income h has grown at a CAGR of 12 8% d i f 12.8% during l last fi five years. W expect this growth to sustain going We hi h i i forward, which will continue to boost tractor sales. Contrary to popular belief, rainfall does not affect tractor sales directly. Other factors such as higher farm income, availability of water (irrigation facilities), cheaper and more easily available finance, successful implementation of government schemes (NREGA) and higher MSP are the key drivers for growth in tractor sales. We expect tractor demand to grow by 11-12%, going forward. All key drivers are in place and adequate availability of water is expected with a forecast of regular and timely rainfall. Our top-pick: M&M top pick: M&M has always been a leader in the farm equipment sector. After acquiring Punjab Tractors Limited (PTL), it...

...Insurance Industry – Road Ahead Path for sustainable growth momentum and increasing profitability kpmg.com/in Foreword The Insurance industry in India has undergone transformational changes over the last 12 years. Liberalization has led to the entry of the largest insurance companies in the world, who have taken a strategic view on India being one of the top priority emerging markets. The industry has witnessed phases of rapid growth along with spans of growth moderation, intensifying competition with both life and general insurance segments having more than 20 competing companies, and significant expansion of the customer base. There have also been number of product innovations and operational innovations necessitated by increased competition among the players. Changes in the regulatory environment had path-breaking impact on the development of the industry. While the life insurance industry got affected by the introduction of cap in charges, the general insurance industry got impacted by price detariffication and Motor third party risk pooling arrangements. While the insurance industry still struggles to move out of the shadows cast by the challenges and uncertainties of the last few years, the strong fundamentals of the industry augur well for a roadmap to be drawn for sustainable long-term growth. The available headroom for development, sustainable external growth drivers, and competitive strategies would continue to drive growth in the gross written premiums. However...
