Current State of the Indian Economy
The current scenario of Indian economy has been characterised by optimistic growth and strong macro-economic fundamentals, particularly with tangible progress towards fiscal consolidation and a strong balance of payments position. Gross Domestic Product (GDP), at current market prices, is projected at Rs. 46,93,602 crore in 2007-08 by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) in its advance estimates (AE) of GDP. While, the GDP at factor cost, at constant 1999-2000 prices, is projected to grow at 8.7 per cent in 2007-08.
The industrial sector has witnessed a moderate slowdown in the growth during the first eight months of the current fiscal, till November 2007. The growth achieved, during April-November 2007, by the industrial sectors has been 9.2 per cent. The capital goods have grown at an accelerated pace, over a high base attained in the previous years, which augurs well for the required industrial capacity addition. While, the consumer durables showed a negative growth during the period, thereby forcing a visible decline in the growth of the total consumer goods basket, despite reasonable growth in the non-durables.
India's telecom sector has been one of the biggest success stories of market oriented reforms. With more than 270 million connections, India's telecommunication network is the third largest in the world and the second largest among the emerging economies of Asia. The total number of telephones has increased from 76.53 million on March 31, 2004 to 272.88 million on December 31, 2007. While 63.8 million telephone connections were added during the 12 months of 2006-07, more than 7 million telephone connections are being added every month during the current year. The tele-density has also increased from 12.7 per cent in March 2006 to 23.9 per cent in December 2007. Further, the share of wireless phones has also increased from 24.3 per cent in March 2003 to 85.6 per cent in December 2007.
The infrastructure sector has been expanding on a massive scale. The Index of Six core-infrastructure industries, having a direct bearing on infrastructure, stood at 243.0 (provisional) in December 2007 and registered a growth of 4.0 per cent (provisional) compared to a growth of 9.0 per cent in December 2006. During April-December 2007-08, six core-infrastructure industries registered a growth of 5.7 per cent (provisional) as against 8.9 per cent during the corresponding period of the previous year. Coal production grew by 4.9 per cent (provisional) as compared to an increase of 4.6 per cent during the same period of 2006-07. While, electricity generation grew by 6.6 per cent (provisional) as compared to 7.5 per cent during the same period of 2006-07.
In terms of the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), inflation was 3.9 per cent as on January 19, 2008, as compared to 6.3 per cent a year ago. In primary articles, there was a sharp deceleration in inflation to 3.8 per cent as on January 19, 2008, as compared to 10.2 per cent a year ago. They contributed 22 per cent to overall inflation as against 35.4 per cent in the previous year. Similarly, in case of manufactured products, year-on-year inflation as on January 19, 2008, was 3.9 per cent compared to 5.9 per cent in the corresponding period of 2006-07. They contributed 55.2 per cent of the year-on-year inflation. Further, fuel, power, light and lubricants, with a inflation rate of 4.5 per cent, contributed 30.4 per cent, which is more than twice its weight of 14.2 per cent in the index.
The monetary sector also continues to be growing at a sustainable rate during 2007-08 to serve the twin objectives of managing the transition to a higher growth path and containing inflationary pressures. The cumulative increase in the stock of M3 in 2007-08 has remained above the cumulative growth in 2006-07 and was 13.3 per cent on January 4, 2008, as compared to 12.2 per cent on January 5, 2006. Similarly, net foreign exchange assets (NFA) of the RBI, on year-on-year basis as on January 4, 2008, expanded by 39.1 per cent as against 26.1 per cent on the corresponding date of the previous year.
In the secondary market segment, the market activity expanded further during 2007-08 with BSE and NSE indices scaling new peaks of 21,000 and 6,300, respectively, in January 2008. The main reasons being the larger inflows from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and wider participation of domestic investors, particularly the institutional investors. During 2007, on a point-to-point basis, Sensex and Nifty Indices rose by 47.1 and 54.8 per cent, respectively. While the climb of BSE Sensex during
2007-08 so far was the fastest ever, the journey of BSE Sensex from 18,000 to 19,000 mark was achieved in just four trading sessions during October 2007. It further crossed the 20,000 mark in December 2007 and 21,000 in an intra-day trading in January 2008.
Progress in fiscal consolidation has been satisfactory in the post-Fiscal Reforms and Budget Management Act (FRBMA) period. The fiscal deficit of the Centre, as a proportion of GDP, came down from 5.9 per cent in 2002-03 to 3.4 per cent in 2006-07 and is estimated to further decline to 3.3 per cent in 2007-08 [Budget Estimate (BE)] (3.2 per cent based on revised GDP estimates). Similarly, the revenue deficit declined from 4.4 per cent in 2002-03 to 1.9 per cent in 2006-07 and is estimated to further decline to 1.5 per cent in 2007-08 (BE).
India's external economic environment continued to be supportive with the invisible account remaining strong and stable capital flows. As a proportion of total capital flows and on a net basis, foreign investment has shown a mixed trend in the current year. In 2006-07, the proportion stood at 33.5 per cent, while it rose to 43.4 per cent in the first half of 2007-08. Foreign direct investment (FDI) grew appreciably on both gross and net basis. On a gross basis, FDI inflows into India was at US$ 11.2 billion in the first six months of 2007-08. FDI inflows were broad-based and spread across a range of economic activities like financial services, manufacturing, banking services, information technology services and construction. While, net portfolio investment inflow was US$ 18.3 billion in April-September 2007, more than double the inflow during 2006-07.
The industrial sector has witnessed a moderate slowdown in the growth during the first eight months of the current fiscal, till November 2007. The growth achieved, during April-November 2007, by the industrial sectors has been 9.2 per cent.

When Your Fears and Depression Have the Best of You
By Stan Popovich
What do you do when your fears and depression are stronger than
what you can handle? There are times that no matter what you do,
your fears have the best of you. Here is a list of techniques and
suggestions on what to do when this happens.
The first step is to learn to take it one day at a time. Instead
of worrying about how you will get through the rest of the week,
try to focus on today. Each day can provide us with different
opportunities to learn new things and that includes learning how
to deal with your problems. You never know when the answers you
are looking for will come to your doorstep. We may be ninety-nine
percent correct in predicting the future, but all it takes is for
that one percent to make a world of difference.
When a person is feeling depressed, he or she should take a few
minutes to write down all of the things that he is thankful for
in his life. This list could include past accomplishments and all
the things that that they take for granted. The next time you
feel depressed, review your list and think about the good things
that you have in your life.
Remember that there is one power that is stronger than your fears
and depression and that is the power of God. A person does not
have to be religious to use the power of God. When the going gets
tough, talk to God about your problems as if you were talking to
a friend. Review the Bible and pray hard. Be persistent and be
open in the avenues that God may provide to you in solving your
problem. It is not always easy, however God is in control and he
will help you if you ask him.
If you decide to use the services of a professional, get into the
habit of reviewing with your counselor what techniques work for
you and which ones don't. Dealing with your fears takes practice
so use this situation as a learning experience in improving your
skill sets. In every anxiety-related situation you experience,
begin to learn what works and what doesn't work in managing your
fears and anxieties.
As a Layman, I realize it is not easy to deal with all of our
fears, however there are all kinds of help available. The key is
to be patient and not to give up. In time, you will be able to
find those resources that will help you with your problems.
