The Indian stock market had an excellent year in 2022, with the Sensex and other indices such as mid-caps and small-caps performing particularly well compared to their global counterparts.
As the markets are currently trading at all-time highs, year 2023 is expected to be a noteworthy year due to factors such as a strong economic recovery, increased government spending, a rise in global commodity prices, and a strong improvement in corporate earnings.
POTENTIAL THEMES
Some sectors and investment themes that may be worth considering in light of recent developments are listed below.
INSURANCE
Insurance has regained attention recently as regulatory risks have lessened following amendments by the regulator. The sector, especially health insurance, has experienced significant ups and downs over the past three years.
However, the year 2020 brought a change in fortune for the sector as the health insurance market saw significant growth due to increased awareness and the ongoing threat of covid-19. Additionally, recent spikes in covid-19 cases in China and Japan have raised new concerns that could keep the insurance sector in the spotlight in 2023.
Recent spikes in coronavirus cases in some countries have caused concerns, and governments have taken steps to mitigate the impact. Government announcements and new guidelines for precautions are likely to improve sentiments.
Authorities are working to prevent and protect their countries from a repetition of the pandemic, which could bring the sector back into focus in the current year.
