The AUM of the mutual fund industry increased to Rs 26.33 lakh crore in October, a 7.4% increase from the preceding month. Mutual funds saw net inflows of Rs 1.33 lakh crore in October. In comparison, the industry witnessed net outflows of Rs 1.52 lakh crore in September.

The credit rating agency Moody’s lowered India’s outlook from “stable” to “negative” while retaining the issuer rating at Baa2. The rating agency cited a growing debt burden and the government’s struggle to narrow the budget deficit for the revision. On a similar vein, Fitch Solutions has raised India’s fiscal deficit forecast to 3.6% of the GDP for the fiscal year 2019-20, from the previous 3.4%, due to weak revenue collections resulting from sluggish economic growth and government’s sweeping corporate tax rate cut.

 

The government has announced a Rs 25,000 crore stimulus package for the real estate sector. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that the Centre will infuse Rs 10,000 crores into the real estate market to revive over 1600 stalled housing projects covering 4.58 lakh units. Another Rs 15,000 crores will be contributed by LIC and SBI.
