a. Global Economy and Industry Overview

World growth strengthened in 2017 to 3.8 percent, with a notable rebound in global trade. It was driven by an investment recovery in advanced economies, continued strong growth in emerging Asia, a notable upswing in emerging Europe, and signs of recovery in several commodity exporters. Global growth is expected to tick up to 3.9 percent this year and next, supported by strong momentum, favorable market sentiment, accommodative financial conditions, and the domestic and international repercussions of expansionary fiscal policy in the United States.

At 3.8 percent, global growth last year was percentage point faster than in 2016 and the strongest since 2011. Two-thirds of countries accounting for about three-fourths of global output experienced faster growth in 2017 than in the previous year (the highest share of countries experiencing a year-over-year growth pickup since 2010). The preliminary outcome for global growth in 2017 was 0.2 percentage point stronger than forecast in the October 2017 World Economic Outlook (WEO), with upside surprises in the second half of 2017 in advanced as well as emerging market and developing economies.(Source IMF Report April,2018) b. Outlook

According to IMFs World Economic Outlook Update, Growth in India is projected to increase from 6.7 percent in 2017 to 7.4 percent in 2018 and 7.8 percent in 2019, lifted by strong private consumption as well as fading transitory effects of the currency exchange initiative and implementation of the national goods and services tax. Over the medium term, growth is expected to gradually rise with continued implementation of structural reforms that raise productivity and incentivize private investment.

As per World Bank Report ,Indias recent reforms, such as the "Make in India" initiative and demonetization, are expected to encourage formal sector activity, broaden the tax base, and improve long-term growth prospects despite short term disruptions in the case of demonetization.

The July 2017 introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India has caused temporary disruptions in manufacturing, and is linked to the recent weakness in the Purchasing Managers Index and industrial production growth. However, eventually, it is expected to simplify tax compliance, deepen economic linkages between Indian states, broaden the tax base and improve revenue collections. In turn, this is expected to enhance the broader business environment and help foster investment and employment (IMF 2017).

The Indian Economy posted a growth rate of 7.7 percent during the January to March 2018 Quarter, enabling the country to retain its position as the fastest growing major economy, as per data released by Central Statistical Office. However, for the fiscal year that ended March 31, Indias growth rate works out to 6.7 per cent, down from 7.1 per cent in 2016-17.

The countrys financial services sector consists of the capital markets, insurance sector and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). The financial services industry is highly correlated to overall economic growth, and as seen from the sectoral split of Indias GDP growth, it has in fact been a large driver of this growth. The improving GDP growth trajectory is therefore expected to further propel the financial services industry.

c. Risks And Concerns

The Company is subject generally to changes in Indian law, as well as to changes in government regulations, changes made in the regulations by applicable regulators in India and policies and accounting principles.

The Company is also subject to interest rate risks and credit risks.
