India's economic fundamentals remain robust despite political changes: Nomura

India's economic fundamentals remain strong, according to Nomura, following the results of the general elections that secured a third term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Despite losses in three states, the BJP-led NDA secured a majority in the Lok Sabha. Nomura expects the government to continue with governance and administrative reforms, while leaving more challenging reforms related to land and labour to the states. The immediate focus is on government formation, and the first 125-day agenda will likely include digitalisation, infrastructure, industrialisation, and governance reforms. Nomura does not anticipate a major impact on monetary policy.
