Rural Indian Sector May Offer Shield From U.S. Economic Woes
Investors looking to get away from problems in the U.S. might want to escape to the Indian countryside. Stocks driven by infrastructure spending in rural India could be shielded from the wide impact of growing debt and economic problems in the U.S.
The Indian government is expected to spend billions of dollars to build up infrastructure and incomes in the country's villages. The nation's budding retailers are also looking to invest in rural areas. Thanks to this spending, companies that thrive in India's countryside won't be dependent on U.S. or global growth.
