• Indian equity markets continued with its journey upward with Sensex
surpassing the 48,000-mark. Positive development on the COVID-19 vaccine
front buoyed market sentiments. Indian government decided to approve
two vaccines namely, Serum Institute of India's Covidshield, and Bharat
Biotech's Covaxin for restricted use in an emergency situation. Additionally,
manufacturing PMI, remained in the expansion zone for fifth straight
month and stood at 56.4 in Dec, which also contributed to the upside.

• As per media reports, India's tax pie appears to have undergone a subtle
shift, with direct tax collections dropping dramatically as a consequence of
the COVID-19 carnage's disproportionate effect on revenues. The share of
indirect taxes, consisting mainly of levies on goods and services as well as
import duties, has increased, while the share of direct taxes, consisting of
corporate and personal income taxes, has decreased since 2020. Although
direct and indirect tax collections were not officially released by the
government, industry sources said that the share of indirect taxes in total
tax collections rose to approximately 56%, the highest for the time in more
than a decade. This follows a sharp fall in direct tax receipts of 26% - 27%.

by private survey results of Chinese manufacturing PMI which expanded in
Dec albeit at a slower pace. However, gains were restricted after Prime
Minister of Japan declared a state of emergency in the greater Tokyo area
to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Today (as on Jan 05), Asian markets
fell following decline on the Wall Street overnight. Both Nikkei and Hang
Seng fell 0.18% and 0.35%, respectively (as at 8 a.m. IST).
