FII's invested a net USD 266 million in April compared to a net withdrawal of USD 2.8 billion for the first three months of 2008. Inflation, based on WPI for the week ended 25 April was at a 42 week high of 7.57%. This was due primarily to oil and commodities and a selection of food items. Some analysts expect an easing of food inflation as the Central Government succeeded in procuring (as on 1 May and as part of its public distribution process) 15.4 million tones of wheat as against the 8.2 million tones it procured during the same period last year. The Reserve Bank of India, while increasing bank's cash reserve requirements, has also stated that it believes inflation will be brought under control and that it expects real GDP growth for the current financial year to stay between 8.0% and 8.5%. Markets recovered some equilibrium in April on the back of positive quarterly results, although rising inflation remains an issue. Volatility continues, with some significant rises in prices of stocks within the ICGF portfolio. 10 out of 25 portfolio companies have announced their financial results to 31 March 2008. Excluding IOL Netcom, which is still in its development phase, average growth in both operating income and profit after tax for these companies for the full year ended 31 March 2008 over the previous year was in excess of 80%. In two portfolio companies, Hindustan Oil Exploration Company (HOEC) and Dabur Pharma, potential acquirers have announced public tender offers at prices above ICGF's cost price. These offers close on 30 June and 3 July respectively.
