India is now the #1 emerging market to invest in, according to 85 sovereign wealth funds and 57 central banks representing $21 Trillion in assets!

[ProudThamizhan]

Hardly surprising. India is a very poor country, even by South Asian standards.

India's poverty rate is a staggering 84% and that means there are literally well over a billion people living below the poverty line who would be more than willing to work in sweatshops for peanuts, to fuel the ever-growing western consumerism.

If someone think that's somehow going to make things easier for the poor, they're sorely mistaken. You'll only see more billionaires popping up in India. After all, there are almost a thousand billionaires in China!

Speaking of which, China has a poverty rate of just 13% and even Pakistan has a "fairly" decent ~25% poverty rate, though that's subject to change due to crushing economic challenges.

So yeah, that leaves the field wide open for India. In modern times, "business opportunity" is another way of saying "human exploitation." It's all about saving nickels and dimes to turn millions into billions.

boo hooo ! have a good cry

Let me summon my inner @ziaulislam

This is all Indian hyperbole, there is no interest in India. Filthy and smelly yindoos are trying to prop up themselves, by publishing such articles themselves.

Wait even better, they are now properly and openly serving their Western colonial masters, whereas the champion of free society next door and its young and energetic brother are struggling to stop the next wave of colonialism in this region.

Wait another 20 years when afgahnistan is ahead of you..

People laughed at the idea in 1980-90s when we use to say vietname, bengaldesh will be ahead of Pakistan
Even talking of China was ludicrous

Afgahnistan if allows trade and it's natural resources to be allocated freely you will see it develop faster then Pakistan

I wholeheartedly agree

They might give competition to us even, if they manage things properly. For one they are majority Pashtun, so not much ethnic issue like India or even Pakistan for that matter. They just need at least two decades of peace and prosperity.

Lmao seems like you are living under a rock, thats even worse than watching godi media. This is 2023, not 2021 or 2019. Pakistani currency has depreciated by almost 100% since that time. All the economic crisis that Pakistan is facing now wasnt there in 2021, or rather, the indicators were there but crisis hadnt manifested itself. Your GDP in USD terms has fallen by at least 50%.

Pakistan GDP: $341 billion
Population: 256 million
GDP per capita: $1330

India GDP: $3.75 trillion
Population: 1.42 billion
GDP per capita: $2640

That effectively is twice of pak. This too is after rebasing of pak GDP which increased it by 17%, India will update base year later.

Still a sh!thole of a country for 800 million people.

Yes sir, very miserable.

 

[Vikramaditya-I]

It is related to Debt Aka Obligation. Indian gov budget deficit is high around 6-7 % of GDP, compared to Indonesia at 2.3 % of GDP

Not related to FDI or Stock Market.

Yeah, you are talking about apples in a discussion of oranges.

 

[StraightEdge]

There are various reports which will tell you various statistics. Only thing I can agree with these reports is that general economic outlook is negative/neutral at present. These indexes are based on various assumptions, and weightage values. Not entirely beyond any criticism.

Actual historical FDI so far.

financial inflows are good. Modi still needs to do a lot to curb corruption, to improve corporate governance and to to reduce red tape. Otherwise these flows will become hot money seeking higher returns

Talk less of India talk about your own country going around with a begging bowl. Or fight over a bag of flour. Did you get the point.

Talk less of India talk about your own country going around with a begging bowl.

The thread is about India, Ramesh. What can you expect? I try to keep things on track!

Also, you ought to stop posting stuff on Pakistani forums if you easily get butt-hurt, heh! Obviously, Pakistanis ain't gonna paint a rosy picture of India, unlike your Godi Media.

This isn't a circle-jerk where BJP boys can give each other BJs without being dragged into reality!

Or fight over a bag of flour. Did you get the point.

Yeah, I get it. Its classic whataboutism.

 

[Fish]

Modi still needs to do a lot to curb corruption, to improve corporate governance and to to reduce red tape.

Yeah, politicians never touch the bureaucrats eating the country's roots, unless the politician wants their political career to fall flat on its arse.

Just keep bringing-in the cash and embrace corruption as acceptable damage - and Pakistan is having a real hard time keeping-up with this charade!

The only solution I can think of is cut-off the bureaucrats by privatizing government sectors, though that's another can of worms. We did it with PSO (Pakistan State Oil). It was the sole oil importer from 1977 to 2000 with 100% monopoly but then Dictator Musharraf brought-in other companies!

Ditto for PTV (Pakistan Television) and STN (Shalimar Television) duopoly.

Oh well!

India fails to draw China+1 FDI flows​

Ravi Dutta Mishra , Rhik Kundu
09 Jul 2023, 11:42 PM IST

NEW DELHI : India’s manufacturing sector has failed to capitalize on multinational companies’ efforts to diversify supply chains away from China, foreign direct investment (FDI) data shows, even as manufacturing continues to shrink at the northern neighbour.

Expectations of higher inflows into Indian manufacturing had taken root as China’s purchasing managers’ index (PMI) for manufacturing contracted in seven of the last 12 months, as Beijing struggles to reopen its economy after exiting its controversial zero-covid policy early this year.

India’s PMI for manufacturing did not contract in the past year, but against expectations, FDI inflows fell 22% to $46.03 billion in FY23 amid high inflation and recessionary trends in developed economies.

“The ‘China plus one’ story is not confirmed from the investment data. FDI is still pretty subdued," said Biswajit Dhar, professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University. “What we see this year is lower than what we were attracting a few years back. At a time when China is slowing, if we cannot attract higher FDI, it is a source of concern."

‘China plus one’ refers to global companies’ strategy to expand manufacturing and supply chains to a location in addition to China, where much of it is concentrated now.

Madan Sabnavis, chief economist of Bank of Baroda, said India is witnessing industrial stagnation and that companies won’t invest because they are not going to China.

The ‘China plus one’ story looks very compelling, but it will take some time before they are convinced, he added.

India cannot take it for granted that the multinational companies will direct a big chunk of their planned ‘China plus one’ investment to India, Sabnavis said. “Besides, FDI in India is concentrated in a few sectors. A lot of FDI goes into IT and financial services. If you look at the banking sector, I think the limits are already exhausted. There is definitely an opportunity which is there, but more than the pull factor, there is also the push factor," Sabnavis added.

According to Upasana Bharadwaj, senior economist at Kotak Mahindra Bank, the growth in Indian manufacturing has been led by domestic and global demand and private consumption, which have ensured that it remained in the expansion zone.

“At the moment, their (China’s) public investment cycle, property sector, are all underutilized. The credit and the leverage system are also not in place," Bharadwaj said.

zero inflation, yes, can you afford your tomatoes now?

When China abandoned its lockdown-heavy “COVID zero” policy late last year, it was widely predicted that the nation’s economy would boom as trade and travel returned to normal. But in the months since, consumer spending has been anemic, the property market—which has been labeled a “ticking time bomb”—continues to struggle after years of overbuilding, and government officials are struggling to cope with $23 trillion in unmanageable local government debt as well as rising youth unemployment.

To draw FDI, the ease of doing business scale has to increase. While we are trying to attract FDI, we aren't doing away with blocks for business coming in.

Time taken for permits, Electricity supply we can keep talking. Lots of changes are needed, but as always we are slow.
