Abhay Laijawala, Deutsche Equities said while the brokerage remained constructive on market outlook & are maintaining our December 2015 Sensex target of 33,000, it does believe that both the economy & stock market are now urgently looking for critical offsets to balance the continued absence of private sector investment.

With the private sector still on sidelines, rural consumption deteriorating & export growth looking anemic, public investment has emerged as the most critical driver for economic revival, until private sector has recovered, he added.
