INDIA

The RBI has released the results of its forward looking surveys. Highlights below:

  • Households' median inflation perception moderated marginally by 10 basis points (bps) from the previous survey round to 8.3 per cent.
  • Inflation expectations for the three months and one-year horizons increased by 20 bps and 10 bps to 9.3 per cent and 10.2 per cent, respectively.
  • Consumer confidence for the current period marginally declined owing to somewhat tempered sentiments across the survey parameters except price level; the current situation index (CSI) moderated by 0.3 point to 93.7 in January 2025.
  • Manufacturing companies reported marginally better demand conditions in Q3:2024-25 vis-à-vis the previous quarter, as reflected in their assessment for production, employment, capacity utilisation, exports and order books.
  • Bankers expect some moderation on overall loan demand conditions during Q4:2024-25; the high optimism on demand for retail/personal loans tempered even as it improved or remained at previous quarter’s level for other sectors.
