As India strides toward its goal of becoming a US$5 trillion economy, expanding our corporate bond market is crucial for sustaining growth in capital expenditure and investment. Currently representing only 16% of GDP, there is immense potential for growth in this space, particularly in financing large-scale infrastructure projects. With the right mix of regulatory and structural reforms, we can attract long-term interest from key players such as insurers and pension funds, paving the way for a more robust bond market and an enhanced credit and liquidity landscape. https://lnkd.in/gjzxesKN #GDP #Finance #India #Growth
