India Pips China, US to Emerge as Favourite Foreign Investment Destination

[ThaniOruvan]

India has pulled ahead of China and US to emerge as the world's number one destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2015, according The Financial Times newspaper.

India received $31 billion in foreign capital inflows in the first half of 2015; China was second with $28 billion and US third with $27 billion, the report said.

"A ranking of the top destinations for greenfield investment (measured by estimated capital expenditure) in the first half of 2015 shows India at number one, having attracted roughly $3 billion more than China and $4 billion more than the US," the FT report said.

India made significant gains in ranking, jumping to the pole position from fifth last year.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was quick to link rising capital flows to the policies of the Modi government.

Satisfying, our efforts are paying off. India becomes the Highest FDI destination for Greenfield projects.

— Arun Jaitley (@arunjaitley) September 29, 2015

The 15-month-old Narendra Modi government has taken several initiatives to make India an attractive investment destination. PM Modi has traveled to several countries laying out a red carpet for foreign investors. The one-year-old 'Make in India' initiative that aims to turn the country into a global manufacturing hub has been widely publicized.

The government has relaxed FDI norms in many sectors, including multi-brand retail, telecom and defence. Swifter approvals for businesses have been put in place and Mr Jaitley has repeatedly promised "fair and predictable" tax regime.

India is tracking well ahead of where it was at this time last year: it has more than doubled its midyear investment levels, attracting $30 billion by the end of June 2015 compared with $12 billion in the first half of last year.

"In a year when many major FDI destinations posted declines, India experienced one of 2014's best FDI growth rates, increasing its number of projects by 47 per cent," the newspaper report said.

Ok then why didn't china, US and other favorite investment destinations did not benefit from it ?
Why is India ahead ?
There has been a lot of changes to the investment policies introduced by Mr.Modi and team.
That had considerable impact.

[Skull and Bones]

Low oil prices doing the trick.

 

[Mr.Nair]

Low oil prices doing the trick.

Then why not the same factor for US,China and many other countries for low price oil advantage !

@Abu Namr @SipahSalar

In the January-June period, India has surpassed US and China as the biggest Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) destination, garnering $31 billion investments compared with $28 billion attracted by China and $27 billion by the US. In the first half of 2014, India had received $12 billion worth FDIs, thus more than doubling the kitty in this year first half.

Remember, in the whole of last year (2014), China received FDIs worth $75 billion, while US received $51 billion.

Also, this comes close on the heels of a world economic forum report showing that India moved 16 positions up in the global competitiveness index to the 55th position on account of improvement in the country’s macroeconomic environment and a ‘slight’ improvement in the infrastructure sector.

8 Reasons to Invest in India

Here are at least eight reasons why India is a seriously compelling story for investors:

1. Size of India
India's GDP is currently US$1.3 trillion, making it the 8th largest economy in the world. However, in PPP terms, which recognises India's low cost base, the GDP notionally rises to three times this amount (US$3.8 trillion) which places it on a similar size to Japan and, by 2013, it will become the third largest economy in the world (after the USA and China) in PPP terms. However, despite representing 7.5% of Global GDP (on a PPP basis) in 2010, India attracts less than 0.5% of investment inflows. An anomaly which is unlikely to continue for much longer!

2. Economic growth
India's economy is currently growing by 8.75% per annum (in 2010) and this GDP growth rate is expected to increase to 9% - 10% per annum for each of the next 10 years. India's GDP will grow five times in the next 20 years, and GDP per capita will almost quadruple.

3. Diversity
The Indian economy offers investors exposure to a wide range of opportunities from consumer goods and pharmaceuticals to infrastructure, energy and agriculture. With its strong services sector (comprising 50% of India's economy), particularly in knowledge-based services (IT, software and business services) India has proved that industrialisation and the export of commodities and resources is not the only path to rapid economic development.

4. Demographics
India is one of the youngest countries in the world, with an average age of 25 and likely to get younger. India's working-age population will increase by 240 million over the next 20 years. With a population of 1.2 billion, a strong work ethic, high levels of education, democracy, English language skills and an entrepreneurial culture, India is poised to dominate the global economy in the next 20 years.

5. High Savings
With a savings rate of 37% of GDP, India's domestic savings fuels most of its investment requirements, and only 20% of India's total public debt is sourced from foreign borrowing. With significant investment to be made in upgrading India's poor infrastructure in the next 10 years (estimated to be US$1.7 trillion) India's Government is taking various steps to further encourage private and foreign investments.

6. Domestic economy
India's domestic consumption, generally led by the private sector, has played a significant role in India's growth and is expected to remain firm as more people enter the workforce and the emerging middle classes. India's wealthiest consumers (those earning US$1m or more in PPP terms) will increase by 40 million in the next 10 years! Every sector within India's consumer market is booming, making India far less vulnerable to external shocks and pressures than other emerging markets.

7. A robust financial sector
India has a robust, diversified and well regulated financial system which has allowed it to weather the global financial crisis without any major difficulties and present an image of quality, resilience and transparency. India's banking sector is strong, with top quality balance sheets, high levels of competition (there are around 80 banks in India) and strong corporate governance.

8. Quality of Investment Markets
The Bombay Stock Exchange is the second oldest in the world (165 years) and offers investors a low cost, highly efficient, modern and well governed environment in which to prosper from India's extraordinary economic growth. The Indian stockmarket has generated investment returns of over 15% per annum for the last 10 years and experts expect this rate to increase in the next decade. More significantly perhaps, Indian investors have doubled their money over the last 3 years at a time when many have lost money in almost every other market

Which is the source of this data? government submited this data. Looks like another GDP figure like story. Earlier there was some discussion that they are quoting FDI and FII (or FPI) together now unlike before.

 

[liall]

People are so gullible. This report is for CAPEX not FDI. In India there are a lot of new startups that are raking in capital from all over the world. Flipkart, Snapdeal, Ola, OYO, Grofers, peppertap, PayTM etc. etc. There are just too many of them. Exciting time for startups in India.

For them source for Indian data is Indian government. get it? Read this

Union Budget 2015: Eye on more inflows via single FDI, FPI cap | The Financial Express

The new policy in the FY16 Budget move is also aimed at projecting to the world that India is attracting larger foreign investments because from now on the official foreign investment data will include both FDI and FII/FPI, official sources said.

The UNCTAD report also said India had slipped by a rank to fourth position behind China, the US and Indonesia in the ranking in terms of most-favoured FDI destination. India was the second-most favoured destination in the 2005-08 period and in 2010. The Centre, through many steps to improve ease of doing business, also aims to make the country the top investment destination.
