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.
JANUARY 2010
CNBC-TV18 Boston Analytics Consumer
Confidence Index for India
The index for January 2010 stands at 72.5, an increase of 7.8 percent from December’s reading of 67.2. It is encouraging to see that sentiment related to a majority of the components of the composite have exhibited signs of improvement. Rise in sentiment related to the nation’s overall economic conditions, personal financial conditions, consumer spending, inflation, interest rates, and employment appear to be driving the composite upwards.
While it appears that the bottoming process has matured with multi-month moving averages beginning to show signs of a change in trend, next month’s numbers will bring more clarity in ascertaining the likely direction of the state of consumer confidence in urban India.
