India’s current account deficit (CAD) at $7.2 bn (1.2% of GDP) in Q2 of 2017-18 narrowed sharply from $15bn (2.5% of GDP) in the preceding quarter, but was substantially higher than $3.4 bn (0.6% of GDP) in Q2 of 2016-17.
The widening of the CAD on a year-on-year basis was primarily on account of a higher trade deficit ($32.8 bn) brought about by a larger increase in merchandise imports relative to exports.
The net services receipts increased by 13.1% on a year-on-year basis mainly on the back of a rise in net earnings from software services and travel receipts. Private transfer receipts, mainly representing remittances by Indians employed overseas, amounted to $17.4 bn, increasing by 14.7% from their level a year ago.
