RBI estimate too optimistic, will pivot to rate cuts in October: Nomura

Japanese brokerage Nomura on Friday said Reserve Bank's 6.5 per cent real GDP growth estimate for FY24 is too optimistic, and the central bank will pivot to rate cuts from October. The brokerage said it agrees with the Reserve Bank's projections on price rise, and said that the worst of headline inflation is behind us. "However, the revised GDP growth forecast of 6.5 per cent in FY24 appears too optimistic, the brokerage said, adding that it estimates growth to slow down to 5.3 per cent. A slew of agencies and analysts has cut the FY24 growth forecasts in the recent past, with many of them pegging it under 6 per cent as well. Nomura said it expects a downside of over 1 percentage point to the RBI's growth estimate on weaker global growth, high uncertainty and the lagged effects of domestic policy tightening. The RBI had attributed the upward revision in growth to a dip in crude oil prices to USD 85 per barrel as against USD 90 per barrel. After announcing the policy, Governor ...

Nomura moderates India's FY24 GDP growth to 5.2%, says optimism misplaced

Japanese brokerage Nomura has projected a sharp moderation in India's growth rate for FY24 to 5.2 per cent as compared to FY23, saying Indian policymakers are misplaced about their optimism on the country's growth prospects. After a week-long meetings with policymakers, corporates, commercial banks and political experts, its economists said its FY23 GDP growth estimate is at 7 per cent at par with the RBI's revised down forecast but it expects a "sharp moderation" to 5.2 per cent in FY24. While we broadly agree with our interlocutors on the growth prospects in FY23, we believe the optimism in FY24 may be misplaced and that the spillover effects from the global slowdown are being underestimated, its economists Sonal Verma and Aurodeep Nandi said in a note. The RBI has hiked repo rate by 190 basis points since May to tame inflation and is expected to do more, especially amid faster rate tightening by the US Fed, which is bound to impact growth. The economy grew at 4 per cent in FY2
