[Ryuzaki]

Geneva - Foreign Direct Investment flows into India nearly doubled in 2015 while the US emerged as the top host country for FDI last year, the UN's trade agency said today.

The US bounced back as the top host country for FDI in 2015 with FDI worth $384 billion, the report said.

The US is followed by Hong Kong ($163 billion), China ($136 billion), the Netherlands ($90 billion), the UK ($68 billion), Singapore ($65 billion), India ($59 billion), Brazil ($56 billion), Canada ($45 billion) and France ($44 billion) as the top 10 FDI host economies of the world.

India's FDI investment increased from $33.9 billion to $59.4 billion which marks a 75 percent increase while green field investments have increased from $25.4 billion to $64 billion recording an increase of 152 percent, the report said.

"Measures taken by the government to improve the investment climate have had an impact," the report stated.

hehe....chill. no one is trying to find an excuse here....Indian economy is still growing albeit at a slower rate than first five of MMS years, but still growing. and its not alarming yet. No need to give it a political lens, especially when coming from a knowledgeable citizen.

Would like to point out something. There is a difference between the local currency weakening and the foreign currency strengthning. Those who understands economics will know this.

Now regarding your concept about falling rupee. INR fell to 69, when dollar index was 84,(dollar index signifies the relative strength of US$).
Today dollar index is near 100. So if rupee, if it had maintained its position, should have been at the level of 76 per dollar. Its actually at 68$.
If you really want to know the relative strength of rupee, compare it with GBP, euro or yen with the values of 2 years back and now.

Did u understand Raghuram Rajan wanted the Rupee to go low to help exports particularly after CHinese deevaluated their currency? When Rajan was told he can improve Rupee by pumping sulprus Forex, he simply refused. He wants to get it lower still.

However job creation hasnt picked up in India.
