As we enter the final quarter of 2011, the world’s economies remain on a knife edge. Economic concerns coming out of the US and the eurozone continue to cause uncertainty across global markets. These effects can be clearly seen across the world’s market indices. For example, in the year to date, the Dow Jones has seen a fall of nearly 6%, the FTSE 100 a 12% fall and India’s Sensex Index is down a remarkable 23% (with the last quarter seeing the worst fall for almost 3 years).

As we say farewell to 2010, we can take this opportunity to reflect upon the economic environment in India over the past year and also the opportunity to focus on some of the key areas of economic importance for the year ahead.

Grant Thornton’s latest India Watch Index reveals that Indian companies listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) have continued to outperformed both the AIM All-Share index and the FTSE 100 index. The outstanding performance of Indian firms listed in London and London’s position as a leading financial centre looks to have encouraged other Indian firms to look into raising funds here. Evidence of this can be seen in the impending £1.6 billion IPO of Essar Energy which is set to become London’s biggest flotation in almost ten years, with additional IPO’s also in the pipeline
