Directions: Kindly read the passage carefully and answer the questions given beside. <br><br> The Indian scouting tiger is on the prowl again. India remains among the top three investment destinations for global investors looking at emerging markets. In the last three years alone, offshore long-term investment flows into India through FII/FDI route is nearly $150 billion, one of the strongest ever witnessed. India has increasingly become a hotspot for global investments not just in the listed equity & fixed income markets, but in the unlisted/private market space as well. Recently, we witnessed one of the largest ever private investments in an Indian technology company by an offshore investor adding further impetus to yet another pool of investment into India; the growing start-up eco-system. <br><br> India's growing prominence is backed by India's growing clout in the macro-economic and asset class space at the global stage. Growth is expected to gain further momentum over the next few years as consumption picks up on the back of the 7th pay commission payouts, normal monsoons and lagged benefits of lower rates, and long-term structural reforms start bearing fruits bringing in efficiency gains. Fiscal policy continues to focus on consolidation with expenditure targeted on rural, housing and infrastructure (roads, railways) capex providing a larger multiplier impetus to growth. <br><br> On the external front, India has never been in a better position with FX reserves at a record high of $390 billion. This is a far cry from the humble beginnings of less than $1 billion in 1991 at the dawn of our liberalization reforms. Trade deficit remains under control as commodity prices remain low on the back of structural developments in the crude oil market that are keeping prices capped at $50 per barrel. <br><br> Aware of these gradual tectonic changes underway in the economy, domestic investors including HNIs have been swift in shifting their gaze inward rather than outward. The Mutual Funds annual SIP book is now upwards of $10 billion, acting as a strong stabilizing factor for liquidity. Falling interest rates and lower inflation is causing a structural shift into financials assets from physical assets with the bulk of domestic flows into equities. In fact, household financial savings has for the first time in years exceeded household physical savings, which should help in channeling savings into investments. This paradigm shift is underway not just among the population elite but in the mid-to lower-income strata as well, making this a long term structural change in investing patterns. <br><br> Despite skepticism over near term performance given rich valuations, domestic investors remain growth believers and continue to see equities as the best asset class. This view is based on the earnings cycle to have bottomed out, with the high likelihood of 15-20 per cent earnings growth over the next few years, aided by a low base and sustainable recovery in growth. New equity opportunities are arising with greater formalization and value migration post GST and demonetization.
'Investors including HNIs have been swift in shifting their gaze inward rather than outward.' Which of the following option/options corroborate the same? <br> I. Increase in import of physical gold from other nations. <br> II. Increase in corporate houses setting up manufacturing facilities in low cost nations. <br> III. RBI's recently changed the rules for overseas investment- effectively doubling the annual ceiling for individuals to $250,000.
Explanation: Statement I: An increase in gold imports increases our dependency on other nations and is opposite to what the demand of the question. <br> Statement II implies investors venturing out of India (setting up facilities outside of India) rather than investing here. <br> Statement III again encourages investors to look for outside avenues for investments and is opposite to what the question asks. <br> Hence, none of the options are correct. <br> Option E is correct.
