India vs US market by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala

August 30, 2007
Jhunjhunwala believes that India has all the ingredients that the stock markets value and hold in high regard.

Just as cheap credit in the US fuelled its growth, (one must refer to the graph on the left hand side), India owes its progress to the following factors:

  • Efficient capital allocation
  • Sustained earnings expansion driven by growth and productivity
  • 8 per cent+ real GDP growth + 4 per cent + Inflation = 12 per cent + Nominal GDP growth
  • Corporates to grow faster than unorganised sector
  • Operating and financial leverage to kick in
  • Corporate earnings to grow at more than 18 per cent
  • Favourable framework for equity investing
  • Rising savings, yet low equity ownership -- significant potential
  • Corporate governance
  • Transparency
  • Effective regulation
  • Electronic trading
  • Dematerialisation
  • Tax paradise for equity investing under the STT regime
