The global economy is currently facing uncertain times, amid bank collapses and job cuts at major US-headquartered corporations. India’s chief economic advisor, V Anantha Nageswaran, recently emphasised the need for corporations, households and investors to maintain a margin of safety in these volatile times.

While India’s domestic economy is in reasonably good shape, its financial market can’t remain immune to global volatility.

Investors need to be cautious with their personal finances and investments in such times.
