MUMBAI : Foreign investors invested heavily in Indian equities in 2019. In 2018, they were net sellers of Indian equities worth $4.62 billion. FIIs were bullish on Indian equities for a variety of reasons, according to analysts at BNP Paribas. This, along with expectations of a positive outcome of the US-China trade talks, bolstered risk-on sentiments among foreign investors who diverted huge investments towards emerging markets. In 2019, the flows were hindered by weak exports led by global trade disputes and the transition period during government formation after the 2019 election.
