As per the markets regulator data, FPIs remained net sellers in the last financial year. These investors have been net sellers in the last four out of five financial years. SEBI said in its report, "FPI pull-out was driven by the series of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and other central banks in the wake of mounting inflationary pressures. Continuation of Russia-Ukraine crisis had further deteriorated geopolitical environment and had led to foreign investors’ flight to safety."
Breaking down the data for equity and debt markets, the report noted that the investors turned net sellers in the debt segment after being buyers in FY22. While they remained net sellers in equity segment, their outflows significantly reduced in the last financial year. The outflows decreased to Rs 37,632 crore from Rs 1.4 lakh crore in FY 22.
