impact of an American Recession on India

Indian companies have major outsourcing deals from the US. India's exports to the US have also grown substantially over the years. The India economy is likely to lose between 1 to 2 percentage points in GDP growth in the next fiscal year. Indian companies with big tickets deals in the US would see their profit margins shrinking.

The worries for exporters will grow as rupee strengthens further against the dollar. But experts note that the long-term prospects for India are stable. A weak dollar could bring more foreign money to Indian markets. Oil may get cheaper brining down inflation. A recession could bring down oil prices to $70.

The whole of Asia would be hit by a recession as it depends on the US economy. Even though domestic demand and diversification of trade in the Asian region will partly counter any drop in the US demand, one simply can't escape a downturn in the world's largest economy. The US economy accounts for 30 per cent of the world's GDP.

Says Sudip Bandyopadhyay, director and CEO, Reliance Money: "In the globalised world, complete decoupling is impossible. But India may remain relatively less affected by adverse global events." In fact, many small and medium companies have already started developing trade ties with China and European countries to ward off big losses.

Manish Sonthalia, head, equity, Motilal Oswal Securities, says if the US economy contracts much more than anticipated, the whole world's GDP growth-which is estimated at 3.7 per cent by the IMF-will contract, and India would be no exception.

The only silver lining is that the recession will happen slowly, probably in six months or so. As of now, IT and IT-enabled services, textiles, jewellery, handicrafts and leather segments will suffer losses because of their trade link. Certain sections of commodities could face sharp impact due to the volatile nature of these sectors. C.J. George,

    Everywhere you look the effects of the recession can be seen. This can be seen across the board from the neighbor next door to businesses. More and more families are doing cut backs. They are deciding to stay in; instead of going out and spending money. This in turn causes businesses to reevaluate their budget. They are having to lay off and in some extreme circumstances they end up filing bankruptcy and closing. There are more and more people without jobs, and more businesses that are closing or filing bankruptcy because they cannot afford to stay open.…

    In James Baldwin’s “A Stranger in the Village” and “Sonny’s Blues,” our eyes are opened to the struggles of African Americans in the 1950’s. Baldwin writes about the struggles with identity, social acceptance, and racial discrimination. It is apparent that Baldwin has a very strong opinion behind the reasoning for these three struggles and he elaborates on each throughout these two stories. Through bringing these themes to life, he helps us to have a closer glimpse of what it was like to be like him.…

    The first book I read was The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. It can be debated that it was more reciting than reading because at the time it was my favorite book, and I had others read it to me as often as possible. I remember thinking the the tree was such a kind and devoted friend, while the boy was a “meanie.” I see now that the tree gave everything away and lost herself in the process. The unhealthy relationship between the tree and the boy led to the tree being abandoned and entirely unhappy, but whenever the boy needs something, the tree is always willing to assist at whatever cost.…

    From figure: 1, it is evident that within the time period of 5 years (2005 – 2010), the Indian Rupee hovered in the range between 44 (approximately) to 46 against the US Dollar displaying its maximum appreciation in value in the first quarter of 2008 when the US economy was suffering from its worst phase of recession triggered by the ‘bubble – bust’ in the housing sector due to sub – prime crisis. However, the first two quarters of 2009 observed the steady appreciation of US Dollar against Indian Rupee again followed by gradual declines and finally stabilizing around the nominal exchange rate of 1 US Dollar = 46 Indian Rupees by the end of 2010.…

    “Historically, recessions have developed over time. This one seems to have developed overnight (Partilla).” This thought is thought to stress the fact that while recessions are at times rare, when they do occur they can have a devastating effect. A recession or economic downturn is defined as a period is temporary economic decline during in which trade and industrial activity are reduced. Economic recession is generally accompanied by a rise in unemployment, high inflation, and decline of the housing market. Otherwise known as “The Great Recession,” the recession in the United States from the year 2007 to 2009 negatively impacted the United States economy by significantly altering the US’s labor market, unemployment rate and recovery potential.…

    As kids, just about everyone can remember their favorite book or story. I grew up loving nursery rhymes about Humpty Dumpty and How the Cow Jumped Over the Moon, because they were funny. Whether they tell real or fictional stories, most children’s books often try to teach a meaningful lesson. Some children books teach about friendship, bravery, and diversity. While others tell us it’s important to love.…

    Recession In The 1930's

    In the beginning, the only event that popped into anyone’s mind when they heard the word recession was in the 1930’s. During the 1920’s a stock market crash occurred, however, many believe that the recession began way before leading up to the crash as a whole. This recession went on through the 1930’s, ending around 1939, depending on who you ask. It took a significant amount of time to recover, and while doing so, prepared for another recession in future if it happened. Over the years, the economy has good and bad days, however, the United States have become aware of the housing market, unemployment, and bad loans affecting the economy drastically during 2007-2009.…

    Some things in our culture are real, while other things were formed into our reality based on ideas that people invented and somehow embedded in our norms, values, and beliefs. In Allan Johnson’s book The Forest and the Trees: Sociology as Life, Practice, and Promise, Johnson makes a claim to this idea that I completely agree with. Johnson States that “Most of what we take for “reality” consists not of things as they “really” are, but of ideas people have developed about things as they think they are”(Johnson, 39). Johnson explains further in chapter 2, and throughout the book, that some concepts wouldn't be apart of our culture if there wasn't a word for the situation. Johnson goes on to say that “Culture is both material- the “stuff” of…
