BUSINESS CONFIDENCE INDEX
The CII Business Confidence Index (CII- BCI) for April-June 2016 quarter rose to 57.2 as against the
level of 54.1 recorded in the previous quarter. The BCI has been on an uptrend since the last two
quarters owing to an improvement in both the Current Situation Index and the Expectation Index.
The respondents in the survey were asked to provide a view on the performance of their firm, sector
and the economy based on their perceptions for the previous and current quarter. The CII-BCI was
then constructed as a weighted average of the Current Situations Index (CSI) and the Expectation
Index (EI).
A comparison of the CSI and EI indicated a sharper improvement in the EI in April-June 2016 quarter
mainly owing to a stronger improvement in sentiment across all categories - economy, sector and
company.

A significant proportion of the respondents (61 per cent) expect the domestic economy to record 7.0-
8.0% growth in 2016-17, of which a major share (36 per cent) expect GDP growth to lie above 7.5%

INFLATION
More than three quarter of the respondents (78 per cent) expect inflation to lie in the 4.0-6.0% range.
Despite the recent uptick in inflationary pressures, a significant share of the respondents (78 per cent)
expect the CPI inflation to hover around 5% in 2016-17, in line with the RBI’s expectation for the
financial year. So far this year, price pressures have been on the rise due to increasing food and fuel
costs and in expectation of the salary and wage increase of central government employees under the 7th
Pay Commission. However, a normal monsoon may provide some relief from food inflation in the latter
half of the year.

POLICY RATES
Nearly two thirds of the respondents (64 per cent) expect another cut in policy rate by the central
bank.
Majority of the respondents (64 per cent) are optimistic about a cut in interest rate by the RBI in order
to support the domestic economy while the global environment continues to remain challenging. The
remaining 36 per cent of the respondents feel that the central bank will adopt a cautious approach and
may not engage in any further rate cuts in 2016-17.
CORPORATE RECOVERY
Large proportion of the respondents (43 per cent) attribute the recovery in corporate sector to
increased government spending.
A major share of the respondents (43 per cent) feel that the turnaround in corporate sector earnings in
Q4 FY 2015-16 was mainly owing to the increased government spending. Closely enough 41 per cent of
the respondents attribute this recovery to increased consumption demand (private consumption
expenditure).

PRIVATE INVESTMENT CYCLE
Major share of the respondents (40 per cent) feel that a turnaround in the global economy will help
jumpstart private investment cycle.
Despite the various attempts by the government, the investment cycle is yet to recover and had slowed
down further in 2015-16. Private sector investment continues to crawl and stalled projects remain high
in Q1 FY 2016-17, as companies continue to postpone new investments on global economic uncertainty,
unforthcoming demand, lack of regulatory clearances and inadequate supply of inputs. In this context, a
majority of the respondents (40 per cent) feel that a recovery in the global economy would be helpful in
kick starting the private investment cycle. Additionally, a big share of the respondents (37 per cent) feel
that an upturn in the consumption cycle can also help in boosting private investment.

CAPACITY UTILISATION
Close to half of the respondents (47 per cent) expect capacity utilization to improve to 75-100% level
in Apr-Jun 2016 quarter.
Largest share of the respondents (47 per cent) expect that capacity utilization would stand in the range
of 75-100% in Apr-Jun 2016 quarter as compared to 32 per cent of the respondents who witnessed the
same in the previous quarter (Jan-Mar 2016). The expectation of an improvement in capacity utilization
in the Apr-Jun 2016 quarter comes despite the fact that a major share of the respondents (39 per cent)
recorded the actual level of capacity utilization in the 50-75% level in Jan-Mar 2016.
INVESTMENT PLANS
Majority of the firms expect no change in their domestic and international investment plans in Apr-
Jun 2016.

in Apr-Jun 2016 quarter. On the international front as well, a significant proportion of firms (60.5 per
cent) expect to keep their investment plans unchanged in Apr-Jun quarter.
Firms are keeping investment plans on hold despite the expectation of an improvement in sales and new
orders in the Apr-Jun 2016 quarter owing to the existing excess capacity in the economy

While an almost equal share of respondents expect the cost of raw materials and fuel to either
increase or remain unchanged in Apr-Jun 2016, a significant majority anticipates an increase in wages
and salaries and unchanged credit cost in the said quarter.

expectations of raw material and fuel costs in Apr-Jun 2016 quarter. Around 47 per cent of the
respondents expect the raw material cost to remain unchanged in Apr-Jun 2016 and an almost equal
share of respondents (46 per cent) expect their cost the increase. Similarly, about 48 per cent of the
respondents anticipate status quo on fuel costs, however an equally large proportion of respondents (46
per cent) expect an increase in the same.
Nonetheless, there is a clear majority of respondents who feel that credit cost will remain unchanged
(60.3 per cent) while wages and salaries may increase (63 per cent) in Apr-Jun 2016.

witnessed the same in the previous quarter. The respondents seem upbeat about their profit
expectation for Apr-Jun 2016 quarter despite the fact that a large share of respondents (36.9 per cent)

95TH BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY
Confederation of Indian Industry
COVERAGE & METHODOLOGY
CII’s 95th
Business Outlook Survey is based on sample survey of firms covering all industry sectors,
including micro, small, medium and large enterprises from different regions. The survey also
enumerated responses across industry groups both in public and private sectors engaged in
manufacturing and services sector.
The survey was conducted from April-June 2016, covering more than 200 firms of varying sizes. Majority
of the respondents (44 per cent) belonged to small-scale and micro firms, while 42 per cent were from
large-scale firms and about 14 per cent were from medium-scale firms. Sectoral break up shows that 62
per cent of the respondents were from manufacturing sector while 32 per cent were from services
sector and 6 per cent from primary sector, respectively.
CII-BCI is calculated as a weighted average of the Current Situation Index (CSI) and the Expectation Index
(EI), with greater weight given to EI as compared to CSI. These indices are based on questions pertaining
to performance of the economy and respondent’s firm. Respondents are asked to rate the current and
expected performance on a scale of 0 to 100. A score above 50 indicates positive confidence while a
score above 75 would indicate strong positive confidence. On the contrary, a score of less than 50
indicates a weak confidence index.

CII Business Outlook Survey

  • 2. 95TH BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY Confederation of Indian Industry 95TH BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY (April-June 2016) HIGHLIGHTS The CII Business Confidence Index (CII- BCI) for April-June 2016 quarter rose to 57.2 from 54.1 in the previous quarter. Majority of the respondents expect the economy to grow between 7.0-8.0%. More than three quarter of the respondents (78 per cent) expect inflation to lie in the 4.0- 6.0% range. Nearly two thirds of the respondents (64 per cent) expect another cut in policy rates by the central bank. Majority of the respondents (43 per cent) attribute the recovery in corporate sector to increased government spending. Major share of the respondents (40 per cent) feel that a turnaround in the global economy will help jumpstart private investment cycle. Close to half of the respondents (47 per cent) expect capacity utilization to improve to 75- 100% level in Apr-Jun 2016 quarter. Majority of the firms expect no change in their domestic and international investment plans in Apr-Jun 2016. Close to two thirds of the respondents expect an improvement in sales and new orders in the Apr-Jun 2016 quarter. While an almost equal share of respondents expect the cost of raw materials and fuels to either increase or remain unchanged in Apr-Jun 2016, a significant majority anticipates an increase in wages and salaries and unchanged credit cost in the said quarter. Close to 50 per cent of the respondents anticipate an increase in after tax profits in Apr-Jun 2016. Majority of the respondents expect no significant change in external trade in Q1 FY17. Low domestic demand and fragile global economic recovery emerge as the top concerns this quarter. 1
  • 3. 95TH BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY Confederation of Indian Industry BUSINESS CONFIDENCE INDEX The CII Business Confidence Index (CII- BCI) for April-June 2016 quarter rose to 57.2 as against the level of 54.1 recorded in the previous quarter. The BCI has been on an uptrend since the last two quarters owing to an improvement in both the Current Situation Index and the Expectation Index. The respondents in the survey were asked to provide a view on the performance of their firm, sector and the economy based on their perceptions for the previous and current quarter. The CII-BCI was then constructed as a weighted average of the Current Situations Index (CSI) and the Expectation Index (EI). A comparison of the CSI and EI indicated a sharper improvement in the EI in April-June 2016 quarter mainly owing to a stronger improvement in sentiment across all categories - economy, sector and company.

A significant proportion of the respondents (61 per cent) expect the domestic economy to record 7.0- 8.0% growth in 2016-17, of which a major share (36 per cent) expect GDP growth to lie above 7.5% while 25 per cent feel that the economy may slow down from the previous financial year and grow between 7.0-7.5%. 2

Despite the recent uptick in inflationary pressures, a significant share of the respondents (78 per cent) expect the CPI inflation to hover around 5% in 2016-17, in line with the RBI’s expectation for the financial year. So far this year, price pressures have been on the rise due to increasing food and fuel costs and in expectation of the salary and wage increase of central government employees under the 7th Pay Commission. However, a normal monsoon may provide some relief from food inflation in the latter half of the year. 3 <5.5% 1% 5.5 - 6.0 % 7% 6.0 - 6.5% 11% 6.5 - 7.0% 14% 7.0 - 7.5% 25% 7.5-8.0% 36% >8.0 6% Expected GDP Growth Rate in 2016-17 (% of Respondents)
  • 5. 95TH BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY Confederation of Indian Industry POLICY RATES Nearly two thirds of the respondents (64 per cent) expect another cut in policy rate by the central bank. Majority of the respondents (64 per cent) are optimistic about a cut in interest rate by the RBI in order to support the domestic economy while the global environment continues to remain challenging. The remaining 36 per cent of the respondents feel that the central bank will adopt a cautious approach and may not engage in any further rate cuts in 2016-17. CORPORATE RECOVERY Large proportion of the respondents (43 per cent) attribute the recovery in corporate sector to increased government spending. A major share of the respondents (43 per cent) feel that the turnaround in corporate sector earnings in Q4 FY 2015-16 was mainly owing to the increased government spending. Closely enough 41 per cent of the respondents attribute this recovery to increased consumption demand (private consumption expenditure). 4 Rate cut likely in FY 2016-17 64% No more rate cuts this fiscal 36% Expectation of a cut in Policy rates by RBI (% of Respondents)
  • 6. 95TH BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY Confederation of Indian Industry PRIVATE INVESTMENT CYCLE Major share of the respondents (40 per cent) feel that a turnaround in the global economy will help jumpstart private investment cycle. Despite the various attempts by the government, the investment cycle is yet to recover and had slowed down further in 2015-16. Private sector investment continues to crawl and stalled projects remain high in Q1 FY 2016-17, as companies continue to postpone new investments on global economic uncertainty, unforthcoming demand, lack of regulatory clearances and inadequate supply of inputs. In this context, a majority of the respondents (40 per cent) feel that a recovery in the global economy would be helpful in kick starting the private investment cycle. Additionally, a big share of the respondents (37 per cent) feel that an upturn in the consumption cycle can also help in boosting private investment. GENERAL BUSINESS PROSPECTS 5 Decline in interest rates 17% Turnaround in global economy 40% Consumptio n cycle upturn 37% Any other 6% Ways to jumpstart the Private Investment cycle (% of Respondents) Increased government spending 43% Increased Private consumption expenditure 41% Any other 16% Factors responsible for Corporate turnaround (% of Respondents)
  • 7. 95TH BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY Confederation of Indian Industry CAPACITY UTILISATION Close to half of the respondents (47 per cent) expect capacity utilization to improve to 75-100% level in Apr-Jun 2016 quarter. Largest share of the respondents (47 per cent) expect that capacity utilization would stand in the range of 75-100% in Apr-Jun 2016 quarter as compared to 32 per cent of the respondents who witnessed the same in the previous quarter (Jan-Mar 2016). The expectation of an improvement in capacity utilization in the Apr-Jun 2016 quarter comes despite the fact that a major share of the respondents (39 per cent) recorded the actual level of capacity utilization in the 50-75% level in Jan-Mar 2016. INVESTMENT PLANS Majority of the firms expect no change in their domestic and international investment plans in Apr- Jun 2016.

  • 11. 95TH BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY Confederation of Indian Industry COVERAGE & METHODOLOGY CII’s 95th Business Outlook Survey is based on sample survey of firms covering all industry sectors, including micro, small, medium and large enterprises from different regions. The survey also enumerated responses across industry groups both in public and private sectors engaged in manufacturing and services sector. The survey was conducted from April-June 2016, covering more than 200 firms of varying sizes. Majority of the respondents (44 per cent) belonged to small-scale and micro firms, while 42 per cent were from large-scale firms and about 14 per cent were from medium-scale firms. Sectoral break up shows that 62 per cent of the respondents were from manufacturing sector while 32 per cent were from services sector and 6 per cent from primary sector, respectively. CII-BCI is calculated as a weighted average of the Current Situation Index (CSI) and the Expectation Index (EI), with greater weight given to EI as compared to CSI. These indices are based on questions pertaining to performance of the economy and respondent’s firm. Respondents are asked to rate the current and expected performance on a scale of 0 to 100. A score above 50 indicates positive confidence while a score above 75 would indicate strong positive confidence. On the contrary, a score of less than 50 indicates a weak confidence index. 35 25 24 13 3 Low domestic demand Fragile global economic recovery Lack of political consensus on economic reforms High borrowing cost Upward risk to food inflation 10
