President's Message
Dear Members,
Greetings from ANMI!
October 2025 has been an
eventful month, both for the Indian economy and for ANMI’s continued
initiatives across the nation.
1.
Macroeconomic & Policy
Developments
The month witnessed
several encouraging signals underscoring India’s economic resilience and its
growing global stature. According to a report by DBS Bank, India’s GDP
is projected to grow at an average of 6.7% between 2025 and 2040,
outpacing China’s 3% growth for the same period.
The Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) issued draft guidelines to simplify cross-border inward
remittances, enabling Indians abroad to send money home more swiftly and
efficiently — a move expected to boost inward flows and digital payments
infrastructure.
Globally, the US
Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points for the second
consecutive time this year, to a range of 3.75–4%, amid concerns about
slowing economic activity. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan maintained its
policy rate at 0.5%, highlighting a continued accommodative stance.
At the national level, Union
Minister Piyush Goyal reiterated that India is poised to overtake
Germany to become the world’s third-largest economy within two years, a
goal supported by the Government’s focus on trade diversification and export
competitiveness. Complementing this vision, NITI Aayog unveiled a
forward-looking roadmap titled “Reimagining Manufacturing: India’s Roadmap
to Global Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing,” aimed at positioning India
among the top three global hubs by 2035.
Other key developments
included the Government’s plan for next-generation power reforms to
address the challenges faced by debt-laden discoms, and a renewed emphasis on
the blue economy as a core driver of India’s “Viksit Bharat 2047”
vision.
In the private sector,
India’s pharma and healthcare industries recorded a 166% surge in deal value
in Q3 2025, while companies like Tata Motors, Dabur India,
and Adani Airports announced major strategic initiatives in LNG, digital
ventures, and AI-driven infrastructure respectively — signalling ongoing
innovation and expansion across sectors.
With such strong
momentum, the macroeconomic environment continues to offer optimism for
investors and the capital market ecosystem.
