India steals China's limelight

In the week ending June 3, weekly inflows to India funds surpassed those of China equity funds for the first time since the beginning of January (Chart 3.4). Weekly fund flows to China equity funds that week reached $181.27m (Rmb 1,239m, €129.5m, £111.5m) compared with India's $184.64m, marking the highest weekly inflow to India equity funds in over a year. The trend perhaps signals a revival in investor interest as faith grows in the recently elected government. Nevertheless, on a cumulative basis, total inflows to China equity funds since the start of the year are still greater than those of India equity funds (Chart 3.3).
