8 | | AUGUST, 2025Gl balIndia is emerging as a bright spot in the global econ-omy, with JP Morgan projecting the country to lead global growth in 2025. In its latest report, the in-ternational financial firm has identified India as a safe haven among emerging markets, citing a combination of macroeconomic strengths, including fall-ing inflation, improved liquidity, and lower government borrowing. These factors, along with a revival in consumption and in-vestment, are expected to drive ro-bust economic expansion.JP Morgan has given In-dia an "Overweight" rating in its emerging markets portfolio, indi-cating strong in-vestor confidence. The report highlights that demand-side driv-ers such as rising urban household income, improving rural conditions backed by a good monsoon, and easing input cost pressures are supporting growth momentum. India's strong domestic fundamentals are seen as pro-viding resilience amid ongoing global trade uncertain-ties and geopolitical tensions.Moreover, improved household balance sheets and increased corporate capex are expected to add further impetus to growth in the coming quarters. Supporting this outlook, the Indian government has reiterated its commitment to boosting the economy through a multi-pronged approach. Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary informed Parliament that measures such as strengthening trade competitiveness, encouraging for-eign investment, and increasing public capital expendi-ture are being undertaken to help the country navigate global headwinds effectively. With a stable macroeco-nomic environment and proactive policy support, India is well-positioned to maintain its growth leadership in the year ahead.
