Beyond Market - March, 2024

In this issue

Global economic growth, especially in the USA, has experienced a revival, thanks to the resilience exhibited by economies. This shift in sentiment on the global front has led analysts to upgrade their expectations and reinforce an optimistic outlook. In the case of India, the nation continues to grow from strength to strength, while China poses ongoing challenges. Our cover story in this issue details what possibly lies ahead for economies across the globe, while offering investors valuable insights on ways to navigate this landscape.

In addition to our cover story, we have chosen to devote space in our coverage to a host of topics. Firstly, the Indian economy is on a growth trajectory and remains unfazed by global issues. Secondly, the Reserve Bank of India’s crackdown on fintechs for failing to adhere to compliance norms has been discussed, particularly in the light of Paytm Bank’s woes. Also, public sector companies are witnessing a surge, but this performance warrants a cautious approach from investors.

Furthermore, readers will find engaging stories on various topics. These include the state of the sugar industry and how the revision in sugar production levels should be viewed. Also covered is India’s cleantech sector, which is growing on the back of government impetus. Additionally, the strengthening of the media and entertainment sector, which has staged a comeback from the days of the pandemic, has been explored. Finally, another article discusses the tepid slump in demand from the rural sector for FMCG companies, along with what could help revive the situation.

From the article in the Beyond Learning section of this issue, readers can discover the principles of American financial wizard, Charlie Munger, which formed the foundation of his and Berkshire Hathaway’s success.
