The Indian Economic 
Scan-shot 

August

2021

(with data from July '21)


Hello,
The economic environment continues to vacillate between the optimistic and the cataclysmic, depending on where one stands! Ergo, keeping an eye on important macro-economic indices is a critical prologue to business decision and, often, an opportunity tracker. The August 2021 monthly update has a fair amount of good news on GST collections, the Manufacturing PMI and the dropping unemployment numbers. The consumer confidence score seems to have taken a hit-but a turnaround is awaited.

Happy scanning!
