INDIA WATCHTM

Tracking Emerging Markets' Leading Economic Indicators

Tracking leading economic indicators helps economic policy planners, business decision makers, and investors detect turning points and predict the future behavior of business cycles. Because no single measure of aggregate economic activity (such as GDP) adequately predicts business cycles, accurate analysis requires a composite picture referencing multiple types of time-series data.

To help our corporate and investor clients make informed decisions in complex and competitive emerging markets, Boston Analytics has developed a set of time-series-based economic indicators modeled after indices used in North American and European markets, but adapted to the unique conditions and requirements of nations and regions such as India, Asia/Pacific, and the Middle East.

March 2010
CNBC-TV18 Boston Analytics Consumer Confidence Index for India



The index for March 2010 stands at 73.3, an increase of 0.9 percent from February’s reading of 72.6. The improvement in consumer confidence is driven by increasing optimism related to overall economic conditions, personal financial outlook and discretionary spending. However, sentiment related to inflation has declined significantly in the last month. While the drop in inflation sentiment is more pronounced, employment sentiment appears to have flattened out in the last two months and is still quite low.

A tier-wise disaggregation of the data reveals that the Tier-I cities and Tier III cities and towns have been the largest contributor to the improvement in the national composite. In contrast, consumer confidence in Tier II cities is below the national average.
