Point of View
Last week's positive momentum by HNIs and foreign investors continued this week, helping push markets past the key 6300 resistance level.
The benchmark ASPI reached a 12-month high of 6337.22 points, with retail, HNIs and institutional investors showing renewed vigor ahead of the Central Bank's policy decision next week. Banking and Finance counters such as COMB, DFCC and HNB [NV] contributed significantly to volume with turnover value reaching a 4-week high of Rs 1.41bn to boost average daily turnover value (for the week) to Rs 1.11bn.
Markets in the week ahead are likely to look for direction from the Central Bank's monetary policy directive.
Still, the recent recovery in sentiment is likely to remain as foreign buying and HNIs and institutional investors continue to prop market activity. Some retail profit-taking is, nevertheless, likely.
WB Estimates Sri Lanka GDP at 7.2% In its mid-year appraisal and estimation of global economic prospects, the World Bank (WB) forecasted World GDP at 2.8% in 2014E, 40bps lower than its initial estimate in January (3.2%). The Bank added that the setbacks in early 2014 - namely US weather patterns and geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe - are temporary and that a partial rebound is likely toward year end.
The WB projects global growth picking up to 3.4% in 2015E and 3.5% in 2016E as high-income countries gain momentum as fiscal consolidation slows, employment stabilizes and financial conditions remain accommodative.
Tailwinds from these are expected to benefit developing countries with growth projected at 5.4% in 2015E and 5.5% in 2016E.
Sri Lanka's economic growth meanwhile, is estimated at 7.2% in 2014E, significantly ahead of the rest of the South Asian region.
Sri Lanka's economic growth is expected to remain broadly stable (7.2%) in 2014E, and moderate to a more sustainable level of 6.7% by 2016E.
The World Bank added that although international financial conditions continue to add pressure on regional growth, strengthening global demand, particularly from USA and EU and increased domestic investment are likely to drive South Asia's medium-term growth. Risks to growth however exist, with upside to oil prices (due to heightened geopolitical uncertainty), and adverse weather conditions in particular likely to impact regional consumption and growth.
