Growth is expected to gather momentum. Investment should recover as projects cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Investment are implemented and political uncertainty declines after the May 2014 general elections. The rupee depreciation over the summer of 2013 and firming external demand will underpin export growth, while the rise in rural incomes and the decline in inflation will boost consumption. However, fiscal consolidation and supply bottlenecks, coupled with still high non-performing loans and corporate leverage, will weigh on the recovery.
