Market Forecast for the Indian Investor

Investment opportunities in India are today perhaps at a peak. Supported by India's natural strengths, India offers investment opportunities in excess of US$850 billion in diverse sectors over the next five years. Its pool of technical skills, its base of an English-speaking populace with an increasing disposable income and its burgeoning market have all combined to enable India emerge as a viable partner to global industry.

Fast-growing disposable incomes, increased availability and use of consumer finance and credit cards complement the keenness of the average Indian to adapt to and assimilate global trends. This has led to the creation of a rapidly growing consumer base and one of the world’s largest markets for manufactured goods and services. Growth in key sectors like infrastructure, services and manufacturing continues at about 10-12% p.a. India has been ranked 1st by AT Kearney in a Global Retail Development Index of 30 developing countries and is seen as a potential gold mine.
