As per the Quarterly Investor Dashboard Sentiment survey by ING, investors in the surveyed Asian countries believed that economic situation has improved and 93 per cent Indians feel conditions would further improve in the third quarter.
The investor sentiment in India has returned to the pre financial crisis level, driven by robust domestic consumption and pick-up in exports, and more market activity is in store this year, said a survey.
Improved sentiment came on the back of increase in growth optimism, improvement in pessimism about inflation, strong domestic demand and confidence in the local stock market.
About 80 per cent of the investors in India said that the economic situation has improved, whereas around 77 per cent investors in China believe so, as per the latest quarterly ING Investor Dashboard survey.
Indians are still the most optimistic investors in Asia mainly because of its sustained domestic growth momentum, but going into 2011, they have somewhat lower expectations than they did in the previous quarters, says a survey.
Indian investors have emerged as the most optimistic lot in Asia and along with their Chinese counterparts have driven an increase in the region's overall investor sentiment in the first quarter of this year, a latest survey says.
