Sectoral Distribution of Gross State Domestic Product: The contribution from primary, secondary and tertiary sectors to the GSDP in 2010-11 at constant prices (2004-05) was 11.06%, 20.13% and 68.80%, respectively. At current prices, the same was 14.94 %, 21.08% and 63.98%, respectively. During 2012-13, the contribution from primary, secondary and tertiary sectors to the GSDP at constant prices (2004-05) was 9.3%, 23.9% and 66.7% respectively. At current prices, the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors contributed 15.1%, 25% and 59.9% respectively to the GSDP during 2012-13. This difference in sectoral share between constant and current prices shows that inflationary trends in the primary sectors are much higher than in the secondary and tertiary sector. The details are given here. 

 

                          During 2013-14, the contribution from primary, secondary and tertiary sectors to the GSDP at constant prices (2004-05) was 9.2 percent, 19.9 percent and 70.9 percent respectively. At current prices, the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors contributed 14.2 percent, 19.7 percent and 66.1 percent respectively to the GSDP during 2013-14 (Figure below). This difference in sectoral share between constant and current prices shows that inflationary trends in the primary sectors are much higher than in the secondary and tertiary sector.

 

            During 2014-15, the contribution from primary, secondary and tertiary sectors to the GSVA at constant prices (2011-12) was 12.15 percent, 25.11 percent and 62.74 percent respectively. At current prices, the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors contributed 12.91 per cent, 24.81 percent and 62.28 percent respectively to the GSVA during 2014-15. This difference in sectoral share between constant and current prices shows that inflationary trends in the primary sectors are much higher than in the secondary and tertiary sector. The details are given here.

 

            While analysing the sectoral distribution of state income for the year 2013-14, it is seen that the contribution from primary sector and secondary sector are decreasing. But tertiary sector is showing an increase of 70.9 percent from 69.1 percent. The analysis of annual sectoral growth rate of Gross State Domestic Product shows that tertiary sector recorded the highest rate of growth 8.95 percent in 2013-14 at constant (2004-05) prices followed by secondary sector (1.34 percent) and primary sector showed a negative growth rate of -1.36 percent. The driving factor for the growth of the tertiary sector is mainly the growth in the transport, storage and communication sector which is showing an increase to 16.78 percent in 2013-14 from 12.69 percent in 2012-13. Negative growth in agriculture is generally because of the decrease of production in some of the cash crops like pepper, turmeric, cashew, tea and coffee. At current prices, the tertiary sector recorded a growth rate of 17.68 percent, secondary sector 17.68 percent and primary sector with 7.5 percent in 2013-14. The details of sectoral distribution of GSDP with percentage during the last three years is given in [1, 2, and 3] and the details of GSDP, NSDP at constant and current prices during 2004-05 to 2012-13 are given at [4,5,6 and 7].    

 

While analysing the sectoral distribution of state income for the year 2014-15, it is seen that the contribution from primary sector and secondary sector are decreasing. But tertiary sector is showing an increase to 62.75 percent from 60.89 percent. The analysis of annual sectoral growth rate of Gross State Valued Added shows that tertiary sector recorded the highest rate of growth 9.42 percent in 2014-15 at constant (2011-12) prices followed by secondary sector (3.74 percent) and primary sector showed a negative growth rate of -3.86 percent. The driving factor for the growth of the tertiary sector is mainly the growth in storage, trade, hotels and restaurant which is showing an increase of 14.72 percent in 2014-15 compared to 7.10 percent in 2013-14. Negative growth in agriculture is generally because of the decrease in production of some of the cash crops like pepper, turmeric, cashew, tea, coffee and rubber. At current prices, the tertiary sector recorded a growth rate of 14.43 percent, secondary sector 9.22 percent and primary sector with 6.13 percent in 2014-15.

 

The share of primary and secondary sector has decreased during the period 2012-13 to 2014-15 and tertiary sector has increased from 59.06% to 62.75%.

Expenditure Pattern:

 

                    The major items of expenditure under revenue account are, pension, interest payments, salaries and devolutions to local bodies. The combined expenditure of social and economic services under revenue account constitutes the developmental expenditure. The collective expenditure of maintenance, expansion and development funds given to LSGD also needs to be reckoned as developmental expenditure. Expenditure on interest charges, pension charges, administrative services, police, etc. are the main components of non-developmental revenue expenditure. The ratio of revenue expenditure with relative to GSDP declined slightly to 13.07% in 2010-11 from 13.50% in 2009-10. The decline has been consistent since 2008-09. The share of developmental expenditure in total revenue expenditure marginally improved to 54.58% in 2010-11 from 53.43% in 2009-10. The developmental expenditure estimated in BE 2011-12 accounts for 59.37% of the total revenue expenditure. Trend in revenue expenditure is given here. 

                       

                  Public finances of Kerala entered into a crisis along with most other States in India during the second half of the 1990s, with revenue and fiscal deficits rising, Own Tax Revenue (OTR) and Central devolution declining and revenue expenditure, especially interest payments increasing. During the early years of 2000s, deficit targeting was attempted through passing legislation, namely, Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act. To achieve the targets, expenditure compression was resorted to. This led to protests by sections of the society, who were adversely affected and the measures could not be continued beyond a very short period. Realising that the fiscal consolidation needs to be revenue led, the Government took several proactive steps for increasing the growth of OTR since 2006-07. By 2010-11, Revenue Deficit (RD) (in other words borrowing for financing current expenditure) as a proportion of the borrowings in the financial year, which is called Fiscal Deficit (FD) came down, when compared to the previous five year period. The Details are given below:

 

              However, this trend in revenue led fiscal consolidation, which is evident from the reduction in all deficit indicators could not be sustained during the period since 2011-12. The details are given here.

 

 

Capital Expenditure: The consistent efforts to provide adequate funds for creation of capital assets have been apparent since 2007-08. The capital outlay of ` 902.58 crore in 2006-07 rose to ` 1474.58 crore in 2007-08. The trend of enhanced level of capital outlay continued in subsequent years also. The capital outlay increased to ` 3363.69 crore in 2010-11 from ` 2059.38 crore in 2009-10. The ratio of capital outlay to GSDP that stood below 1% in some of the preceeding years advanced to 1.27% in 2010-11. The capital expenditure estimated for 2011-12 is ` 5063.82 crore, its ratio to GSDP being 1.55%. Public works continued to remain the major segment of capital outlay. Details of capital expenditure and total expenditure from 2005-06 to 2011-12 (BE) is shown here 

                             

 

             During 2010-11, the commitments on three major items coming under non-plan/non-developmental expenditure, viz, interest, pension and salary accounted for about 72.68% of the total revenue receipt of the state whereas it was 75.83% in 2009-10. The rate of growth in interest payment during 2010-11 over the previous year was 7.50%. Expenditure as salary during the period went up by 12.94%. As against 2009-10, Expenditure on pension during 2010-11 went up by ` 1061.99 crore. The total Expenditure on interest, pension and salary which was 80.19% of the revenue receipts and 66.57% of revenue expenditure in 2005-06 reached at a level of 72.68% of revenue receipts and 64.98% of revenue expenditure in 2010-11.

                  The share of capital expenditure has been around 9 per cent of the total expenditure. At present, around 57 per cent of borrowed funds is utilised for revenue expenditure (2018-19 BE).If the process of fiscal consolidation aiming at higher growth in revenues and rationalisation of revenue expenditure is successful; a higher share of borrowings in the financial year can be used for capital expenditure. The details are shown below:
