Macro Impact

Brief Background on the 2016 Demonetisation Announcement…
Confidential 5
The government on 8th November announced that INR500 and INR1000 notes will cease tobe legal tender immediately
The move is aimed at controllingblack-money, fake currency circulation and terror financing
India has amongst the highest levels of currencies in circulation at 13% of GDP (vs. EM average of 4%)
Some important numbers to bear in mind:
Notes in circulation as of Nov 4, 2016: Rs. 17,742 bn (13% of GDP)
Value of 500/1000 notes in circulation (@86.5% of notes in circulation): Rs.15,347 bn (11% of GDP)
India has carried out demonetisation exercises twice before, in 1946 and 1978
In the Jan-1978 episode, currency worth INR1.46bn (1.7% of total notes in circulation)was demonetised. Of this INR1.0bn (or 68%) was tendered back
The impact of the demonetisation exercise was as follows:

India’s Past Experience with Demonetisation…
Variable ImpactDeposit Growth Rose sharplyCurrency in Circulation Moderated sharplySLR securities Sharp increase in investment in government securities by banks
Credit Growth Initially subdued but started picking up after 4 months (by May 1978)GDP Growth No major impact as high-denomination notes which were cancelled
only accounted for 0.1% of GDP
In 1978 the value of demonetisation was very small (only 0.1% of GDP). However, the 2016 demonetisation efforts covers 86% of the total currency in circulation (11% of GDP). Hence, this is a substantially more widespread exercise which will have far reaching implications
Impact on Macro Variables in the near-term (3-6 months)…

Variable Impact (3-6 months)
Comments
GDP Negative
In the near-term, this move will hurt economic activity across sectors with pronounced slowdown across sectors irrespective of the extent of usage of cash. Risk aversion is likely to inch up manifold. Over the next 6 months, most sectors (exceptIT & Pharma) will face growth challenges, and in particular hurt discretionary spends, gold and real estate purchases.
Inflation PositiveDownward pressure on prices due to lower demand, especially in rural areas whereshare of cash transactions is high
Liquidity & Rates Positive
Improved liquidity in the banking system will be positive for lending rate cuts. The possibility of 50bps of rate cut by the RBI has also opened up if demand slowdown becomes severe. This should further support decline in G-sec yields (10 year G-sec yield has already declined 30bps)
Current Account Deficit (CAD)
Neutral to Slightly Positive
Discretionary consumption slowdown is likely to impact non-oil non-gold imports. After the initial surge in gold demand (as cash is converted to gold), gold imports should also start to slow. Thus, the decline in imports should be positive for CAD
Fiscal Deficit Negative
Most of the gains (higher direct tax collections and RBI surplus if any) will accrue inFY18. On the other hand, indirect tax collections is likely to be impacted in the near- term due to demand slowdown. Thus, there is going to be near-term pressure on government finances
The RBI balance sheet as of Nov 4th is given below:
To understand the impact on RBI’s balance sheet, we first put out some numbers and assumptions: Value of notes in circulation as of Nov 4, 2016: Rs. 17,742 bn Value of 500/1000 notes in circulation (@86.5% of notes in circulation): Rs.15,347 bn Assuming 20% of the 500/1,000 notes are not tendered back (“black money”): Rs.3,069
bn Amount flowing back to banking system after demonetization: Rs.12,277 bn Durable deposits (assuming 20% of the money deposited in banks is not withdrawn as
cash):Rs.2,455 bn

The impact on RBI’s balance sheet is likely to be as follows: We have assumed ~Rs. 3 trillion will disappear from the system. So currency in circulation will
come down by the same amount We have also assumed that the remaining Rs.12 trillion will get deposited with banks. However,
of this 80% will be eventually withdrawn while 20% will remain with the banks as deposits Thus currency in circulation will further come down by Rs.2.4 trillion (80% of Rs.12 trillion) Thus, total decline in currency in circulation = Rs.3 Trillion + Rs.2.4 Trillion = Rs. 5.4 Trillion Banks will get durable deposits of Rs.2.4 Trillion (20% of Rs. 12 Trillion). Thus, Scheduled
Commercial Bank deposits with the RBI will increase by Rs.2.4 Trillion Thus, the net effect is that RBI’s liabilities will decline by Rs. 3 Trillion

We know that RBI’s liabilities will decline by Rs.3 trillion. Now two options are available to theRBI to ensure that assets match liabilities:
Option 1: The RBI gives Rs. 3 trillion to the Govt. as “special dividend”. In this case, Govt. deposits with the RBI increases by that amount and thus total RBI liabilities match total assets
Option 2: RBI cancels old debt of government on its balance (its assets decline by Rs.3 trillion) or creates a contingency reserve (its liabilities increase by Rs.3 trillion)
If Option 1 plays out, then the drag on growth is likely to be short-lived and we are likely to seen a sharp rebound in economic activity in FY18 as govt. is likely to undertake significant fiscal stimulus
If Option 2 plays out, then the drag on growth could extendbeyond two quarters

Impact on RBI’s Balance Sheet and its Implications…(3/3)
The only answer that will determine whether growth (after the initial slowdown) can see a sharp rebound in FY18 is: Will the Government get large windfall gains to undertake fiscal stimulus?
As per Ex-Governor Rangarajan, the profits that are made by the RBI are essentially out of the current transactions
There is “no capital gain or capital loss” as far as the RBI is concerned. Therefore there is no scope for any extra dividend to be declared to the Government. The RBI act has to go through amendments to make it possible
Globally also, in the past demonetisation episodes, Central Banks have chosen to reduce the asset side of their B/S. Thus, there is little precedence of windfall gains accruing to the Government
Confidential 11
Can a “Special Dividend” be provided to the government?
Growth subdued but domestic liquidity bazooka to banks……
Confidential 12
While the demonetisation exercise is growth negative, a major positive is the improvement in domestic banking system liquidity
The improvement in domestic liquidity conditions is visible in the following:
Indian govt. bond market has rallied sharply since Trump’s victory in sharp contrast to the negative bond action seen globally (36bps decline in 10-year G-sec so far)
Money market rates (3M and 12M CP rates) have also declined by 50bps
Banks have cut MCLR rate by 20bps
With RBI looking increasingly likely to cut policy rate, lending rates should come downfurther
Thus, the next couple of months appears to be a good time for Corporates to raise money

challenges (banks with high SME exposure)
NBFCsDivergent
impact on sub-sectors
Housing Finance: Negative: LAP/developer loans may see increaseddelinquencies ; underlying demand slowdown to affect credit growth
Auto Finance: Negative: ~60-70% transactionsare done in cash; resale values likely to come down for vehicles; Asset quality issues to worsen
Gold Finance: Positive in medium term – Near term disbursements to get hit as high cash dealing; However, ~75% of gold lending is from unorganized segment which will gradually shift to organized players
Micro finance: Positive in medium term – ~70% transactionsdone incash; Near term disbursements/collections to get hit; However,
positive in medium to long term as borrowers shift to bank accounts

Demonetisation Impact
Sector Impact Comments
Real Estate Negative
Very negative for residential space, land deals. Limited impact on commercial transactions, hospitality or retail
Greater impact on small builders, and in specific cities / (Tier 2/3 cities, NCR etc.) / micro markets where cash dealing was more prevalent. Resale properties impacted more than primary sales.
Organized builders may also face demand slowdown in near term. Another view is, if supply of resale properties declines due to price crash, it may favourably impact primary sales.
Registered prices in residentialmay go up to adjust for cash component Execution of ongoing projects will be affected, and some developers
may face serious fund crunch Positive in long term: De-monetisation coupled with Real Estate
Regulation Act, Benami Act and GST, will transform RE sector in longer term. Key positives expected - increased transparency, improved investor confidence, better access to funding, higher FDI likely.

Demonetisation Impact
Sector Impact Comments
a) Petroleum &petroleum products Slightly negative
Temporary pick up in demand due to significant pre-buying of auto fuels
Over medium term, demand, especially for personal transportationcould be somewhat negatively impacted due to high proportion of cash transactions
b) Citi Gas Neutral Largely unimpacted, the demand for CNG might get slightly hurt where cash transactions are high

Demonetisation Impact
Sector Impact Comments
a) Consumer Staples Neutral
Given the need based demand and small purchase tickets, the impact on demand would be muted
However, the move should benefit organized retail and hamper
the market for local counterfeit goods
b) Consumer Durables Slightly negative
Sales likely to be hampered over short-term, especially sales through unorganized channelsas cash purchases (~70-75% of the overall sales) take a hit
However sales through online retail should pick up relatively
c) Consumer Discretionary Negative
The adverse wealth effect will likely hurt higher end discretionary demand.
At the same time lower rates should provide a buffer in the medium term
d) Liqour Slightly negative Most of the purchases by retailers are through cash which may bring down volume in the near term

Demonetisation Impact
Sector Impact Comments
a) EPC/ Construction Neutral
Most of these projects have big ticket sizes and revenue is from larger corporate housesand government authorities, which do bank transaction
However, for small contractors, due to cash crunch there will be some disruptionin medium term
Toll collection, which are mainly done in cash, may see some hiccups in short-term
b) Building Material
(Cement , Paint , Tiles etc.)
Negative
Likely to be negatively impacted as the underlying real estatedemand (~60-65% of consumption) will be severely impacted due to curtailment of black money
Large part of transactions done in cash in segments like paints,
hence likely to be negatively impacted
