aussiebear Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Posted February 26, 2010 New Zealand Building Approvals, Imports Slump on Slow Recovery Feb. 26 (Bloomberg) -- New Zealand’s home-building approvals fell for a second month and imports slumped to a five- year low as the nation’s economic recovery remained sluggish. Permits declined 2.8 percent in January from a month earlier, when they fell a revised 3.5 percent, Statistics New Zealand said in Wellington today, citing seasonally adjusted figures. Imports dropped 12 percent from a year earlier to NZ$2.9 billion ($2 billion), the lowest since February 2005. Lower imports, retail spending and home building signal New Zealand’s economy is struggling to recover from the worst recession in three decades. Reserve Bank Governor Alan Bollard said last month he is unlikely to raise interest rates from a record low until the middle of 2010, provided the recovery is self sustaining.

India’s growth rate will accelerate to 8.2 percent in the financial year beginning April 1, a government report showed yesterday in New Delhi. A separate release today is projected to show gross domestic product advanced 6.9 percent in the fourth quarter from a year before, tempered by a contraction in agriculture stemming from a poor monsoon. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee needs the anticipated pick-up in Asia’s third-largest economy to allow him to withdraw fiscal stimulus measures and reduce the nation’s debt burden. Investors will be analyzing his annual budget presentation today for commitment to fiscal discipline, as well his plans to allow higher overseas stakes in insurance, pension and sell stakes in state-run companies.
