The NCAER's business confidence index (N-BCI)
fell by 12.9 per cent in July over April this year on a quarter-on-quarter
basis on account of worsening of business sentiments across various segments.
The decline in the N-BCI on a year-on-year basis works out to be 15.9 per cent,
the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) said in a statement.
NCAER's 105th Round of the Business
Expectations Survey (BES) showed that the index fell by 12.9 per cent in July
over April 2018 on a quarter-on-quarter basis, it said. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
"Although the worsening of business
sentiments is broad-based across the various components, the magnitude of the
decline varied across sectors. The consumer goods sectors (including both
durables and non-durables) showed moderate declines as compared to the other
sectors. The BCIs of the capital goods and services sectorsdeclined by as much
as 18 per cent and 15.8 per cent, respectively," it said. The Total Investment & Insurance

Elaborating further, the NCAER said a
significant deterioration across three of the regions was seen in BCI, with the
North showing the maximum decline of as much as 23.6 per cent. The Total Investment & Insurance

The
magnitude of decline was also quite significant in the East and West. The
southern region held on to the April 2018 level and also continued to have the
highest BCI among all regions, it added.
Except
the group comprising the smallest firms or those with turnovers of less than Rs
1 crore, which almost held on to the previous BCI, all the other groups of
firms across different firm sizes showed a significant decline in business
sentiments between April and July 2018.
The sharpest decline was
seen among the mid-sized firms, or those with turnovers of Rs 10 to 100 crore
and Rs 100 to 500 crore, respectively, which showed respective declines of 21.9
per cent and 18.1 per cent in the BCI. The group comprising the largest firms
or those with turnovers of more than Rs 500 crore registered a decline of 5 per
cent in the BCI, it said. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
