The Financial Well-Being Index among urban and semi-urban consumers has increased over the past year, both in terms of current status and future perception, according to a study by Home Credit India, a consumer finance provider firm. The survey titled ‘Great Indian Wallet Study: Consumer Behaviour towards key financial aspects’ found that the buoyancy in consumer sentiment is being fuelled by an upward growth trajectory in the Indian economy, an increase in earning capacity, and a positive perception of income growth. It also finds that the income growth has kept pace with the increase in expenses of individuals over the past year.
