Foreign investors are investing money in the debt market, but are withdrawing money from the equity markets. FPIs have withdrawn Rs 16,305 crore from the Indian equity markets since the beginning of August. The reason for this is believed to be the yen carry trade, fear of recession in the US and tension in the Middle East.

Impact of inclusion of Indian bonds in the JP Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index
The reason for the big purchases in the debt market by foreign investors is the inclusion of Indian bonds in the JP Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index in June this year. The weightage of Indian bonds in the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index will be 10 percent. The weightage of Indian government bonds will be gradually increased in this index in a phased manner from June 28, 2024 to March 31, 2025, i.e. by one percent every 10 months. Due to this, big investments are being seen in the Indian debt market.
