Market concern about the external sector is expected to rise following yet another double-digit trade deficit", according to Standard Chartered.
Nevertheless, the current account (C/A) deficit will remain contained in FY16 (year ending March 2016) as commodity prices remain benign and domestic investment takes time to pick up.
