Indian economy accelerates in September as animal spirits soar

印度经济9月份加速增长

NEW DELHI: India’s economy picked up speed in September as a revival in demand and business activity helped drive the South Asian nation toward recovery from the pandemic-induced slump.

新德里：印度经济9月份加速增长，需求和商业活动的复苏帮助这个南亚国家从新冠疫情引发的经济衰退中走出来。

Five of the eight high-frequency indicators, including exports, tracked by Bloomberg News improved last month, while three were steady.

上月，彭博新闻社追踪的8项指标中，有5项有所改善，3项保持稳定。

Economists, including those at the Reserve Bank of India, attributed the recovery to pent-up demand after a strict lockdown imposed in March to contain the coronavirus outbreak hit the consumption of goods and services. While inventory re-stocking will underpin business activity in the coming months, the improvement might still not be enough to prevent Asia’s third-largest economy from contracting in the financial year to March 2021.

包括印度储备银行经济学家在内的经济学家将经济复苏归因于需求的复苏，3月份为遏制新冠疫情而实施的严格封锁打击了商品和服务消费后，抑制了需求。尽管库存补充将在未来几个月支撑企业活动，但这可能仍不足以阻止这个亚洲第三大经济体在截至2021年3月的财年出现萎缩。

Business activity

Activity in India’s dominant services sector continued to recover, with the main index rising to 49.8 in September from 41.8 in August. While that’s a marked improvement from April’s record low of 5.4, a number below 50 suggests it’s still in contraction territory and will probably be a drag on overall growth in the July-September quarter.

Manufacturing activity was a bright spot, with the purchasing managers index rising to 56.8 -- the highest reading since January 2012 -- on the back of a sharp expansion in new work orders, according to IHS Markit. This helped the composite index back into expansion territory -- at 54.6 -- after five months of contraction.

商业活动

印度占主导地位的服务业继续复苏，主要指数从8月份的41.8升至9月份的49.8。尽管该数据较4月的纪录低点5.4有明显改善，但扔低于50，表明仍处于收缩状态，并可能拖累7 - 9月这一季度的整体增长。

制造业是一个亮点，根据IHS Markit的数据，在新订单大幅增长的支撑下，采购经理人指数升至56.8，为2012年1月以来的最高水平。这帮助综合指数在经历了5个月的收缩后，重新回到54.6的扩张区间。

Exports

Exports returned to positive territory with shipments rising 6% in September from a year earlier. Farm exports and shipments of drugs and pharmaceuticals helped the recovery, with engineering goods and chemicals also adding to the rise. A contraction in imports moderated, resulting in a narrowing of the trade deficit.

出口

9月份出口恢复正值，发货量同比增长6%。农产品的出口以及药品的出口推动了经济复苏，工程产品和化学品的出口也推动了经济复苏。进口收缩有所缓和，使得贸易逆差缩小。

Consumer activity

Passenger vehicle sales, a key indicator of demand, rose 26.5% in September from a year ago. Retail sales too showed signs of stabilizing, even though it was nearly 70% below the year-ago level, according to ShopperTrak. That was mainly because consumer confidence remained in the dumps, an RBI survey showed, with respondents worried about jobs, loss of income and stubbornly high inflation.

Demand for loans also remained sluggish. Central bank data showed credit grew 5.2% in September from a year earlier, slightly lower than 5.5% in the previous month, and nearly half of the growth rates seen a year ago. Tighter liquidity conditions prevailed in September, although there were signs of slight easing toward the end of the month.

消费活动

衡量需求的关键指标乘用车销量9月份同比增长26.5%。据ShopperTrak的数据，零售销售也显示出了企稳的迹象，尽管较上年同期下降了近70%。印度储备银行的一项调查显示，这主要是因为消费者信心仍然低迷，受访者对就业、收入减少和居高不下的通胀感到担忧。

贷款需求也依然低迷。央行数据显示，9月份信贷较上年同期增长5.2%，略低于前一个月的5.5%，增幅接近去年同期的一半。9月份流动性趋紧，尽管月底有轻微缓解的迹象。

Industrial activity

Industrial production fell 8% in August from a year earlier, shallower than July’s revised 10.8% contraction. Capital goods output -- another key indicator of demand in the economy -- dropped 15.8% from a year earlier, although that’s milder than the 22.8% drop seen a month earlier.

Output at infrastructure industries shrank 8.5% in August from a year ago and was slightly worse than the revised 8% decline in July. The sector, which makes up 40% of the industrial production index, had contracted by a record 37.9% in April. Both data are published with a one-month lag.

工业活动

8月份工业产值同比下降8%，略低于7月份修正后的10.8%的降幅。衡量经济需求的另一个关键指标——资本货物产量较上年同期下降15.8%，不过比一个月前22.8%的降幅要小。

8月份基础设施行业的产出较上年同期萎缩8.5%，略高于7月份修正后的8%降幅。占工业生产指数40%的工业部门4月份出现创纪录的37.9%的收缩。这两项数据的发布都滞后了一个月。
