This halfway point in the calendar year provides us with an ideal opportunity to review India’s economic and political status over the past few months and also to look forward to what the remainder of the year might have in store.
There seems no better item to start with then what has now become a fairly routine announcement from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Last month the RBI raised interest rates for the 10th time in 18 months. The repurchase rate was raised by 25 basis points to 7.5% as the RBI continued to try and curb inflationary pressure. As with the first quarter of the year, wholesale-price inflation (around 9.1% year-on-year to the end of May) continues to be fuelled by high oil prices and strong domestic demand.

As expected, due to the continued global financial downturn and economic cautiousness, M&A activity in India and across the rest of the world over the past year has seen a substantial decline in volume and value in comparison with previous years. Not even the recent economic growth seen in India in the last half of 2009 could revive the sector in the short term.

Cross border M&A
The recent instability in M&A activity throughout the second quarter of the year, as discussed in the last India Watch report, has continued into the third quarter of 2009. Where equity and commodity markets have seen rather unprecedented growth over the past 4 months, Indian M&A activity has seen a continued lack of stability or growth.

Combined deal values stood at US$970.85m in January, falling substantially to US$243.66m in February, before unexpectedly climbing steadily in March and April and finally dropping to a period-low of US$118.83m in May.
