1. Funding for startups was relatively muted in 2022, but Indian tech cos did raise $25 billion + in this period.

 

 

2.  Among leading global economies, India seems to have best managed its debts since Q2 of FY08

 

3.  Central banks across the world have been aggressively hiking interest rates as inflation rose to the highest levels in decades. Now, the headline inflation seems to be easing, causing a sharp decline in global longer-term interest rates and boosting financial markets in advanced economies and emerging markets alike.

 

4. Job data in the US is now looking very good.

 

5.  But some say that a recession has always been preceded by good employment numbers. See the chart on recessions and employment rate.
