In the midst of global trade realignments and industrial policy shifts, India is increasingly positioned to function as a \u201cconnector country\u201d that can become a key intermediary in sectors such as technology, digital services, and pharmaceuticals, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indian economy continues to be ring-fenced by stability encompassing monetary, financial and political stability; policy consistency and certainty; congenial business environment; and strong macroeconomic fundamentals along with a policy ecosystem that is transparent, rule-based, and forward-looking, said the \u2018State of the Economy\u2019 report by the central bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to IMF projections of April 2025, India is projected to remain the fastest-growing major economy this year and is likely to surpass Japan this year to become the world\u2019s fourth-largest economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inflation pressure has eased significantly and is poised for a durable alignment with the target in 2025-26. Consumers and businesses remain confident, supportive for a strengthening of economic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, the measures undertaken by the Reserve Bank since January 2025 have significantly eased liquidity conditions and calmed financial markets. System liquidity has remained in surplus since end-March 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amidst uncertainties on global capital flows, it is noteworthy that domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have surpassed FPIs in ownership of Nifty-500 companies in March 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This marks a structural shift in Indian equity markets as DIIs, including mutual funds and insurance companies, increasingly offset the volatility caused by FPIs, with retail and systematic investment plan (SIP) flows providing a steady long-term investment base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Domestic financial markets sentiments have witnessed a turnaround amidst easing India-Pakistan tensions, an improvement in the global trade scenario, and softer domestic inflation, said the Reserve Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the RBI, in this scenario, the recent completion of a free trade agreement with the UK points to a strengthening of bilateral trade linkages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGoing forward, notwithstanding the daunting challenges on the horizon, India stands well-positioned to navigate the ongoing global headwinds with confidence, ready to harness emerging opportunities and consolidate its role as a key driver of global growth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
