Strategic reforms can enhance India's appeal to global investors: GTRI

Strategic reforms are needed to enhance India's appeal to global investors as despite having huge potential, FDI data shows that the country has not fully capitalised on its opportunities, think tank GTRI said on Thursday. Suggesting a four-step plan, the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said that measures which can help India position itself as a leading choice for foreign investors include reducing cost disadvantages for companies relocating to India, improving the Ease of Doing Business throughout the business lifecycle, and establishing a framework for evaluating investment proposals. India attracted USD 44.4 billion in FDI (foreign direct investment) in FY2024, which is only 1.1 per cent of its GDP. The country lagged significantly behind countries like China (USD 189.1 billion), Brazil (USD 86.1 billion) , Australia (USD 61.6 billion), and Canada (USD 52.6 billion) as noted in the World Development Report 2023, it said. It suggested that India must offer a more ...

Fiscal balances improved despite rise in public investment: Eco Survey

The fiscal balances of the central and state governments taken together have improved progressively despite expansionary public investments, according to the Economic Survey 2023-24. Tax compliance gains driven by procedural reforms, expenditure restraint, and increasing digitisation helped India achieve this fine balance, according to the Economic Survey 2023-24, tabled in Parliament by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday. The external balance has been pressured by subdued global demand for goods, but strong services exports largely counterbalanced this, it added. Noting that global output is now somewhat more resilient than in 2022, the pre-Budget document said inflationary pressures are shrinking, and trade is set to recover, should there be no further geo-political shocks or flare-ups. However, the survey noted that chances of geopolitical disturbances and conflicts have only gone up in recent times. The survey said India's calibrated response to the pandemic on the

India locked into low investment cycle, needs liberalised approach: Cong

The Congress on Wednesday claimed that India has been locked into a cycle of low investment since 2014 due to a combination of "erratic policy, rampant cronyism, and the ED/IT/CBI raid raj", and asserted that the country needs a new liberalised approach to political economy. Ahead of the presentation of the Union Budget next week, Congress general secretary in charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said the single most important statistic that explains India's inability to grow faster since 2014 is the "sluggish investment rate". "India has been locked into a cycle of low investment since 2014, due to a combination of erratic policy, rampant cronyism, and the ED/IT/CBI raid raj," Ramesh said in a statement. Low investment drags down the medium and long-term GDP growth rates, which in turn drags down wages and consumption growth, he said. "The biggest component of investment - private domestic investment - has been in the doldrums since 2014. It was solidly in the 25-30% of GDP rang
