Debt MFs See August Outflows as GST Cuts Spark Caution

After a month of strong inflows, debt mutual funds witnessed outflows in August, triggered by concerns over the goods and services tax (GST) cut announced on Independence Day. Investors were on the sidelines during the month, as lower tax revenue for the government could increase government borrowing in the second half of the year and push bond yields higher.

According to the Association of Mutual Funds of India (Amfi) data, debt mutual funds (MFs) recorded outflows of ₹7,879 crore in August, compared to inflows of ₹1.06 trillion in July. Debt MF schemes had seen inflows of ₹45,169.3 crore in August last year.

Itwas one of many brand tie-ins and corporate activations that have accompanied the album’s release, evidence—if any was needed—that Swift is a commercial juggernaut. The cupcakes, with packaging full of Swift-lore Easter eggs, come in two variants—vanilla, with either a “teal” or “orange” icing.
