Why this matters for your investments: GDP growth reflects the overall health of the economy. A steady growth trajectory (like India's projected 6%+ rate) indicates strong corporate earnings potential, making equity mutual funds and stock market investments attractive for long-term goals.

Why this matters for your investments: Government debt indicates the country's fiscal health. A declining debt-to-GDP ratio is a positive sign for the economy. It leads to lower interest rates, a stronger currency, and better sovereign ratings, which positively impacts bond yields and overall market stability.
