Robust economic growth, an infrastructure push and a pause in interest-rate increases helped propel India’s equity market to successive highs in 2023 and a record eighth-straight year of gains. Expectations of continued inflows from retail and foreign investors, as well as strong growth in corporate earnings, are encouraging bets on a ninth. They should also keep the country’s booming market for equity sales buoyant into the new year. Add that together and there’s never been a better time for India’s mutual funds.
（強勁的經濟增長、基礎設施的推動以及暫停利率上升，有助於推動印度股市在2023年取得連續高位，寫下創紀錄的第八個年度盈利。對來自零售和外國投資者持續流入的預期，以及企業盈利的強勁增長，都在鼓舞對第九年的押注。這些因素也應該使得印度的股權銷售市場在新的一年保持活力。將這一切加在一起，印度共同基金從未有過如此好的時機。）
