Economic Activity Picked Up From Declining Growth In 2H-2013

Economic factors that influence office space demand broadly fall in the categories of domestic
consumption, industrial production and / or exports, with each factor having strong inter-dependence.
While economic activity declined since the start of 2012, readings of 2H-2013 suggest early signals of revival in industrial activity and exports.

However, since this growth is on a low base from last year, it may not yet provide concrete signals of an emerging new growth cycle.


The recent surge in exports growth could be merely a consequence of the weakened rupee, which makes importing from India cheaper for foreign entities.

Additionally, there are still headwinds to growth in the form of inflation threat, global capital flow uncertainty and the upcoming 2014 general elections. Higher inflation against low economic growth rate has been a dilemma for policymakers.
