MNI India Consumer Indicator Falls

Slightly in October-Consumers hold back spending during the festival season
November 4, 2014--Consumer sentiment eased slightly in October as the outlook for household finances deteriorated and a growing proportion of consumers refrained from purchasing big ticket items in spite of the festival season.

The MNI India Consumer Indicator declined to 123.7 in October from 124.1 in September, the lowest level since May. Even though consumer sentiment was 3% above the outturn recorded in the same month a year ago, it has been broadly flat this year. A stable consumer sentiment signals that the pick-up in the economy is very gradual and the Modi government's policies have yet to filter down to Indian households.

October 29, 2014--China's growth continued to moderate reflecting renewed policy efforts to rebalance the economy.
