Record FPI inflows in debt market mark over 6-year high in December

Foreign portfolio investors’ (FPIs’) net investments in the domestic debt market surged in December, marking a 77-month high, that is, since July 2017.
 

According to market participants, this significant uptick in FPI inflows can be attributed to the post-domestic policy outcome and the US Federal Reserve’s dovish stance at the December policy.
 

FPI inflows into debt stood at Rs 18,393 crore in December against Rs 14,106 crore in November, according to data on the National Securities Depository Limited.
 

Market participants expect a surge in early-stage capital inflows within the debt segment from FPIs during the first quarter of the calendar
