While the urban unemployment continues to fall rural

unemployment has risen marginally to 7.24% from 6.6% as of Aug 14 though

it is still lower than urban unemployment. Meanwhile, high-frequency indicators

available for the rural economy are suggesting stable

conditions in Rural India.

In June 2020, IIP growth contracted by 16.6% when

compared with 1.3% growth in June 2019. However, when compared with the previous month, the contraction has

moderated. This can be ascribed to partial resumption of

activities in June 2020 after the country began the unlocking

phase. There has been a broad based contraction across

sectors except consumer non-durables which grew by 14%.

Tractors sales, a leading indicator of rural sentiment,

witnessed a sharp increase in July 2020. The surplus monsoon

and healthy Kharif sowing will strengthen rural recovery.

Passenger vehicle and two wheeler growth have shown

improvement sequentially but yoy is still negative.

Imports normalised faster than exports in July. A defi cit of USD 4.8billion was recorded in July vs. a surplus of USD 0.8bn in June. Exports fell by 10.2%

YoY (vs. -12.4% in June) and imports declined by 28.4% (vs.

-47.6% in June). The recovery in imports was led by sequential

gains across all segments. Within exports, non-oil exports

contracted at a slower pace even as oil exports fell more.
