Due to this outflow, the rupee has fallen against the dollar. The rupee has depreciated 11% against the dollar so far.
However, in the current situation of the international stock market, investors are focusing their attention from the international stock market to the domestic market. It becomes clear by buying shares of foreign financial institutions.
Among the major indices, Nifty FMCG was the only sector that managed to hold its ground despite the foreign investment outflow last month.
Analyzing the situation, experts say that this sector will give good returns in 2023 as well. Because, the affordability situation in urban areas of the country looks positive so far. Experts believe that the purchasing power of rural areas will also increase.
On the other hand, the worst situation in 2022 is the IT sector. Investment in this sector is very low. Investments in the overall sector are very small except in stocks. Some experts fear that this disaster will continue in the future.
However, the situation of the stock market so far may change dramatically if the spread of corona infection. This is what the experts are warning.
