India's Capital Account Surplus Expected to Reach USD 105 Billion in FY27
India's capital account surplus is projected to rise to around USD 105 billion (2.6% of GDP) in FY27, driven by stronger foreign capital inflows, external commercial borrowings, and resilient foreign direct investment, according to Motilal Oswal Financial Services. The services trade surplus and remittance inflows are expected to offset a widening merchandise trade deficit. HSBC forecasts the current account deficit at 1.5% of GDP by June-end, with inflation near 5% in FY27. External debt inflows and export growth support the external sector outlook.
