India is one of the most promising financial markets globally and can become “the new China” or even better, given the government’s push for pro-growth reforms, said veteran investors and the co-founder of the Quantum Fund Jim Rogers in an interview with ET Now.
“If Delhi has the right attitude, India is going to take its place again as one of the most successful countries in the world,” Rogers said, crediting the country’s educated, ambitious population and its growing economic sophistication.
Meanwhile, Rogers has kept his investments in two others China and Uzbekistan while selling everywhere. He has been looking for a new market but yet not find the one. China and Uzbekistan, he added, are the only two countries now that I know of like that. “But I am looking and as I say if India goes down, I hope I am smart enough to buy India again,” he said.
When asked FIIs trimming their exposures to India, Rogers argued that domestic liquidity is supporting the markets.
If the current momentum continues, he believes India could evolve into a major global economic force. “It may be the new China. It may be better. Who knows?” he added.
Though not currently invested in India, Rogers said he’s closely tracking developments. “If India goes down, I hope I’m smart enough to buy it again,” he noted.
Rogers Is Betting On Silver
Rogers said that he’d bought more silver last week in the interview with ET Now. If silver continues cheap, I hope I am smart enough to buy more, he added.
He said that he’d hoped that his children would have his silver and gold someday. “I do not see any reason ever to sell my silver and gold. I hope they will be part of my estate for my children, for my family,” he added.
