Taimur Baig, managing director and chief economist at DBS Bank, commented on the recent slowdown in foreign direct investment (FDI) in India, asserting that it is not a cause for alarm. He noted that global capital is increasingly drawn to the electronics and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors across Asia, which has diverted some attention from India. Despite this, Baig emphasized the resilience of India's domestic markets, supported by steady flows of private capital, including domestic systematic investment plans (SIPs) and private equity investments. He acknowledged that while India faces stronger competition from other Asian economies, particularly those benefiting from the AI and electronics boom, the country's ability to adapt to global price changes remains strong. Baig also pointed out that Indian firms acquiring overseas assets could bolster future competitiveness, even as the rupee has weakened slightly. Overall, he remains optimistic about India's economic outlook amidst these global shifts.
