Morgan Stanley expects Budget 2024 to focus on road map for 'Viksit Bharat'

Global brokerage firm Morgan Stanley expects Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's upcoming Budget to focus on the government's road map for 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047 and spell out the medium-term plan for fiscal consolidation. "With fiscal prudence guiding the overall fiscal policy stance, we expect the focus to remain on capex expenditure over revenue expenditure and targeted social sector spending with a focus on improving access to physical, social and digital infrastructure," said Morgan Stanley's research report on Wednesday. Sitharaman is scheduled to present the full Budget for fiscal 2024-25 on July 23, which will be the first major policy document of the new government. The brokerage firm expects the central government's fiscal deficit target to be retained at 5.1 per cent of GDP in 2024-25 in line with the interim budget (against 5.6 per cent of GDP in 2023-24) and to be on track to attain the target of 4.5 per cent of GDP by the next financial year.

Reliance Industries Ltd can add up to USD 100 billion to its market capitalisation in its fourth monetisation cycle this century as new cash flow streams emerge and valuation multiples catch up, Morgan Stanley said in a report. The oil-to-telecom conglomerate has seen monetisation cycles deliver 2-3x value creation for shareholders in the past nearly three decades, with each decade seeing USD 60 billion+ in market cap creation. RIL is in its fourth monetisation cycle this century. "Monetisation 4.0 is different; it is supported by the business upcycle, domestic demand, and lower competition," the brokerage said. "RIL's fourth monetisation cycle (since 1997) should add up to USD 100 billion to USD 60 billion increase in market cap year-to-date." Key to this has been RIL's market share gains, complete integration, and most importantly, ability to execute above investor expectations each time the company has re-imagined its business. This monetisation follows the USD 60 billion in ..
