The government folks were relieved that a declining trend of four consecutive quarters of growth had finally been reversed.<br /> <br /> The forecasters and economists were relieved that the announced data had mostly conformed to their expectations. Industry and business people were now hopeful that this was the first instance of a sustained upward trajectory of growth. GDP growth came at 6.3% for the quarter ending September, higher than 5.7% in the previous quarter, but still lower than 7.5% a year ago. The Finance Minister said that the effects of the demonetisation and initial rollout of the goods and services tax (GST) were behind us. (In saying so, he implicitly endorsed the view that indeed demonetisation and the GST rollout had been negative for the GDP, at least in the short run. But this is not the occasion for such minor nitpicking!)<br /> <br /> <em>Devil&rsquo;s in the detail<br /> </em><br /> All these responses of being assured that we had turned a corner are justified if we see some of the positive details from the GDP data. For instance, industrial growth accelerated from 1.6% during the June quarter to 5.8% in this September quarter. Its subcomponent, manufacturing, too grew faster at 7% compared to only 1.2% during the previous quarter. This data is a bit puzzling since it seems inconsistent with the data on the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), whose growth is only 2.2% during this quarter. The services component of trade, hotels, transport and communications also grew smartly at 10.5% for the half year, as compared to 8.3% a year ago.

For instance, industrial growth accelerated from 1.6% during the June quarter to 5.8% in this September quarter. Its subcomponent, manufacturing, too grew faster at 7% compared to only 1.2% during the previous quarter. This data is a bit puzzling since it seems inconsistent with the data on the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), whose growth is only 2.2% during this quarter.

The next few quarters call for focus on consumption, private investment, agriculture and exports There was a collective sigh of relief when the second quarter GDP data were released officially by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The government folks were relieved that a declining trend of four consecutive quarters of growth had finally been reversed. The forecasters and economists were relieved that the announced data had mostly conformed to their expectations.

But this is not the occasion for such minor nitpicking!) Devil’s in the detail All these responses of being assured that we had turned a corner are justified if we see some of the positive details from the GDP data. For instance, industrial growth accelerated from 1.6% during the June quarter to 5.8% in this September quarter.
