Shyamkamal Investments Ltd Management Discussions

A. Overview of the Global Economy:

The global economy during 2025-26 exhibited resilient but uneven growth, shaped by easing trade tensions for part of the year, renewed geopolitical flashpoints and continued monetary policy divergence across regions. The IMFs 2026 projections placed global GDP growth at around 3.0% to 3.3% for 2026, moderating marginally from 3.3% in 2025, with growth expected to firm up to around 3.2-3.4% in 2027. Advanced economies are estimated to grow modestly in the range of 1.5% to 1.8%, while emerging markets and developing economies are expected to expand faster, around 3.8% to 4.0%, led once again by India (real GDP growth of over 7% for FY 2025-26) with China moderating to around 4.2-4.8%.

Global trade flows saw a partial recovery as tariff-related uncertainty eased for parts of the year, though the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East during 2026 renewed volatility in energy prices and reintroduced downside risks to the outlook. Global headline inflation, having declined steadily through 2024-25, ticked up modestly during 2026 on account of these disruptions, before being expected to resume its downward trajectory in 2027, though the pace and extent of disinflation continue to vary widely across regions.

Monetary policy continued to diverge across major economies during the year, with several central banks, including the Reserve Bank of India, moving further into an easing cycle to support growth, even as others remained cautious given persistent, if moderating, inflationary pressures. Technological advances, especially in AI, continued to offer potential productivity gains while also raising labour market and equity concerns.

Overall, while resilient consumption, technology-led investment and selective regional growth continue to provide support, risks such as geopolitical conflict, renewed trade tensions, high public debt levels and financial market volatility continue to weigh heavily on the global economy.

B. Overview of the Indian Economy:

Indias economy in 2025-26 continued to demonstrate strong resilience, retaining its position as the fastest-growing major economy in the world. Real GDP growth for the year is estimated by the Reserve Bank of India at around 7.4% to 7.6%, supported by robust private consumption, strong festive season demand and sustained government capital expenditure. Inflation moderated sharply during the year, with retail inflation projected at around 2.1% for FY 202526, among its lowest levels in years, allowing the Reserve Bank of India to continue easing monetary policy through rate cuts, while holding rates steady in early 2026 amid a favourable growth-inflation mix.

Fiscal consolidation remained a policy priority, supported by a Union Budget aimed at boosting government spending. Exports, especially in services, continued to grow, and trade agreements with key partners including the United States, United Kingdom and the European Union improved investor sentiment and foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. On the employment front, formal job creation continued to improve, though youth and urban female unemployment remain areas requiring policy attention. The financial sector continued to strengthen with improved asset quality and healthy credit growth.

While the outlook for 2026-27 remains optimistic, with the Reserve Bank of India projecting growth of around 6.9% as cyclical tailwinds gradually fade, challenges such as slow private investment, global trade tensions, geopolitical uncertainty and food price volatility persist and will need careful policy management to sustain momentum.

C. Outlook:

As of mid-2026, the global economy is navigating a complex landscape marked by moderating growth, a renewed uptick in inflation and heightened geopolitical uncertainty following the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East. Major central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, have continued to calibrate policy carefully, balancing the need to support slowing growth against the risk of reigniting price pressures.

The United States remains relatively resilient, supported by consumer spending, strong labour markets and continued technology-led investment, while the Eurozone continues to face sluggish growth amid weak industrial output. Chinas economy shows further signs of stabilisation following stimulus efforts, but structural challenges like real estate debt and demographic shifts remain a drag.

Emerging markets are seeing varied performance, with commodity exporters benefiting from firmer prices, while others struggle with capital outflows and currency volatility. Looking ahead, the global outlook remains cautiously optimistic, with modest growth expected through 2026 and 2027, but downside risks persist due to geopolitical conflict, supply chain disruptions, and climate related shocks.

As technology continues to reshape the industry, firms that invest in digital innovation, data analytics, and automation are likely to gain a competitive edge. The increasing demand for personalized financial solutions, sustainable investing, and seamless digital experiences will drive transformation across banking, investment, and insurance services. At the same time, companies must navigate rising regulatory scrutiny, cybersecurity threats, and global economic uncertainties.

H. Risks and concerns:

The financial sector faces a range of risks and concerns that can significantly impact its stability and performance. One of the most pressing challenges is cybersecurity, as increasing digitalization exposes firms to data breaches, fraud, and cyberattacks. Regulatory compliance is another major concern, with financial institutions required to navigate complex and frequently changing laws across multiple jurisdictions, leading to higher operational costs. Additionally, global economic uncertainty, including inflation, interest rate volatility, and geopolitical tensions, can affect market confidence and investment returns. Competition from fintech startups and tech giants also poses a threat, as they often offer more agile and innovative solutions. Furthermore, reputational risk remains high, as any misstep in customer service, data handling, or ethical practices can quickly erode trust and damage a companys brand

I. Material developments in human Resources / Industrial relations:

In recent years, the financial sector has witnessed significant material developments in human resources and industrial relations, driven by digital transformation, evolving workforce expectations, and a heightened focus on diversity and inclusion. Companies are increasingly investing in upskilling and reskilling programs to equip employees with digital and analytical capabilities required in a tech-driven environment. Hybrid and remote work models have also become more prominent, prompting organizations to rethink workplace policies and employee engagement strategies. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on mental health and well-being, with financial firms enhancing support systems and flexible benefits. Industrial relations have remained stable overall, though firms must continue to navigate challenges related to automation, workforce restructuring, and compliance with labor regulations across global operations. These developments reflect a broader shift toward building a more agile, inclusive, and resilient workforce.

J. Internal control systems and their adequacy:

Financial sector companies operate in a highly regulated and risk-sensitive environment, making robust internal control systems essential for ensuring operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation. These systems encompass a comprehensive framework of policies, procedures, and monitoring mechanisms designed to safeguard assets, prevent fraud, and ensure the accuracy of financial reporting. Regular audits, both internal and external, are conducted to assess the effectiveness of these controls, identify gaps, and implement necessary improvements. With increasing reliance on digital platforms, companies are also enhancing their cybersecurity protocols and automated compliance tools to address emerging threats. Overall, the adequacy of internal control systems is continuously evaluated and strengthened to align with evolving regulatory standards and business complexities, ensuring a high level of governance and operational integrity.
