Economic indicators slump while prices sky rocket


The general public is facing difficulties in managing expenses as monetary efforts of the central bank have not been successful in pulling inflation to a single digit level since the beginning of the current fiscal year.
The rate of general price rise crossed 10.5 per cent in mid-October as compared to 8.9 per cent in the corresponding period of the previous year.
The index of food and beverages group increased by 9.1 per cent, whereas non-food and services group increased by 11.8 per cent during the review period. These indices had increased by 9.6 per cent and 8.2 per cent, respectively, in the corresponding period of the previous year.
However, workers' remittance has increased by 28.8 per cent, amounting to Rs 97.7 billion in the three months.
The economy, that was seemingly comfortable a few months back, appeared to be slowing down in the first quarter as fiscal expenditure remained insignificant due to the inefficient government.
In the first three months of the current fiscal year, the deposit growth rate has slowed down, inflation has grown, trade deficit has widened further causing balance of payments surplus to decline, while budget surplus has surged as government expenditure has shrunk because of prolonged uncertainty due to the adamant government.
In the three months, the government budget remained at a surplus of Rs 10.94 billion, according to the central bank.
Deposit mobilisation of financial institutions increased by 2.5 per cent, amounting to Rs 24.97 billion, which had grown by more than five per cent in the same period a year back. Though the liquidity situation has been at a comfortable level for the last one year, the persistent slow deposit growth rate has raised concerns regarding the repetition of another bout of liquidity crisis in the financial system.
On the other hand, increased credit to the private sector might signal increased economic activities. In the period, credit to the private sector increased by 5.8 per cent as compared to a growth of 1.4 per cent last year.
Trade deficit has widened as it surged by 40.8 per cent to Rs 115.75 billion as compared to an increase of 7.6 per cent during the same period of the previous year. Merchandise exports went up by 14.9 per cent to Rs 20.73 billion in the first three months of 2012-13, while merchandise imports have increased by 36.1 per cent to Rs 136.48 billion.

Thanks for your posting on this blog. From my own personal experience, there are occassions
when softening upwards a photograph may possibly provide the photo
shooter with a bit of an inventive flare. Often however, the soft cloud isn't precisely what you had in your mind and can usually spoil a normally good photograph, especially if you thinking about enlarging it.

In these days of austerity along with relative anxiety about having debt, a lot
of people balk against the idea of utilizing a credit card to make purchase of merchandise and also pay for a vacation, preferring, instead only to rely
on this tried and trusted way of making settlement -
raw cash. However, if you possess cash on hand to make
the purchase completely, then, paradoxically, that is the
best time just to be able to use the cards for several causes.
