• It is welcome and significant that Moody’s has revised and upgraded India’s credit rating, the first time since 2004.
• The revision, or, more accurately, the correction in Moody’s India’s credit outlook, does corroborate recent strong macroeconomic performance — India’s economy remains one of the best performing globally — and points to stronger macro-fundamentals going forward.
• Other rating agencies like Standard and Poor’s and Fitch surely need to revise their India ratings as well.
• Multiple audit trails that GST is opening up would further widen India’s tax base, aided by the transparency inherent in rising popularity of digital payments.
• It is also notable that bankruptcy resolution of highly stressed assets in the vexed banking sector has begun, and India’s global ranking when it comes to ease of doing business has considerably improved.
