JP Morgan Backs India’s Growth Story

JPMorgan Chase actually views India as a standout performer in today’s challenging global economy. The bank’s Asia Pacific leadership talked about India’s domestic strength and how it doesn’t rely too heavily on exports during their annual Mumbai conference.

Sjoerd Leenart, who is JP Morgan’s top executive for Asia Pacific, stated:

“Sure, it has its share of issues — the tariffs, now the H1B visa issues. But overall it has a strong hand to play.”

The JP Morgan team also expressed confidence that India can get through the tariff issues and “will land in a good place” even with external pressures hitting other markets.

India has been facing significant pressure from US policy changes, and a 25 percent levy was actually doubled because of Russian oil purchases. The weekend brought even more challenges when President Trump signed an order that adds a $100,000 entry fee for new H-1B visas, which affects over 70 percent of Indian visa holders.

Despite these problems, JP Morgan maintains its positive outlook on India’s prospects. The bank sees the nation’s domestic growth as something that can protect it against global economic uncertainty.
