The Great Indian Middle-Class: A Force to Reckon with
India is the second largest consumer of gold in the world, with a cultural affinity stretching back centuries. It is also undergoing rapid change, a trend that could have profound implications for its economic power, influence in the world and demand for gold.
India's Budget - policy and progress
India, a nation that accounts for around a fifth of annual global gold demand, has a long history of gold-focused policies. These, however, have often distorted the market rather than achieving policymakers' aims. Announcements in the Union Budget on 1 February 2018, however, suggest this might change. Arun Jaitley, India's Finance Minister, explicitly highlighted the government's desire to formulate a comprehensive policy to develop gold as an asset class, create gold exchanges, and revamp the Gold Monetisation Scheme. The Budget also included policies designed to boost rural incomes. Better gold policies combined with rising incomes could bode well for India's gold industry.
