earnings versus a 20-year average of 20.4x (at the 88th percentile). So, what has been driving the markets and more importantly, what’s next? The superior returns were triggered by a stable macroeconomic profile, improving corporate profitability as well as strong liquidity. On the macro side, fiscal consolidation, a focus on capital spends and moderating inflation have boded well for India. The recent GDP growth print of 8.2% was also a positive surprise for market participants. From a corporate profitability point of view, from FY18’s low of 1.3%, India’s corporate profits as % of GDP have dramatically improved to 5.5% in FY23. Liquidity has been strong too, providing a cushion to the markets. In 2023, FIIs bought $21.4 billion, while domestic institutions bought $22.3 billion. The vast improvement seen in systematic investments into mutual funds is particularly heartening. SIPs —which stood at Rs 8,500 crore in FY20 — amounted to Rs 20,900 crore in May of 2024. Even as these numbers explain what has happened in recent years, the question still remains: what now? And what next?

financial institutions must guard against any misadventure or intelligent interpretation of regulations or accounting standards, deputy governor Swaminathan J said in his remarks at the conference of CFOs and statutory auditors organised by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Banks must also keep the amount of internal accounts to the minimum as some of these accounts have been found to be used as a conduit for certain fraudulent transactions, Swaminathan who is in charge of financial supervision and inspection departments with the central bank among others said. “We found certain banks having lakhs of such accounts with apparently no valid reason. Some of these accounts were also used as a conduit for certain fraudulent transactions and ever-greening of loan accounts. Internal accounts are high risk in nature on account of its potential for misuse. I therefore request the CFOs to have them rationalised completely, bring them down to the essential minimum and exercise greater control through periodical reconciliation and a proper reporting to the audit committee of the board (ACB), Swaminathan said.

US Green Card applications: The August 2024 Visa Bulletin has been released, revealing slight progress for India's EB-2 and EB-3 categories. Meanwhile, other employment-based (EB) categories see no change. In the first preference category (EB-1, Priority Workers), the dates hold steady across all countries. For EB-1 India, the cutoff date remains February 1, 2022. This update is particularly significant for Indian applicants in the EB-2 (Advanced Degree Professionals) and EB-3 (Skilled Workers) categories, as any forward movement in priority dates can impact their green card application process. While the advancements are minor, they provide a glimmer of hope for many waiting in line. The unchanged status of the EB-1 category suggests that demand remains high, and the backlog continues. The steady date of February 1, 2022, for EB-1 India indicates that applicants will have to wait longer for their priority dates to become current.
