INDIA'S MONETARY AND FINANCIAL SECTORS ROBUST DESPITE THE UNCERTAIN GLOBAL GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO: ECONOMIC SURVEY 2025-26

• Chapter 3 of the Economic Survey 2025-26, tabled in Parliament on 29 January 2026 by FM Nirmala Sitharaman, assessing FY26 (April–December 2025) performance of monetary policy, banking, NBFCs, insurance and capital markets.
• Verdict: robust despite global geopolitical flux — anchored by RBI's agile liquidity management, multi-decadal-low NPAs, and deepening retail participation in capital markets.
• High-yield UPSC area: combines current affairs (rates, ratios) with static economy (CRR, repo, CRAR, MPC) — recurrently tested in Prelims and GS-III Mains.
