As the New Year begins, it is a Goldilocks scenario for the economy and markets, says V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
The growth momentum in the economy is strong. 7 per cent GDP growth in FY24 is likely to be followed by around 6.7 per cent growth in FY25 with decent corporate earnings growth.
The banking system is in the pink of health and all macroeconomic indicators are stable. Political stability after the General Elections looks almost certain, he said.
