2018: The Year When India Beat China in FDI

[Vikrant]

Happy New Year! Keep on trucking!

---

Coming back to FDI, India's manufacturing sector has been long expecting such stable long-term funds to accelerate capex plans and technological innovation.

The FDI into India exceeded that into China in 2018.

That is a testament of the fact that India's foreign investment policies and business environment are finally competing with that of its Oriental neighbour.

The biggest deal that drove FDI flows to India this year is Walmart's US$ 16 billion buyout of Flipkart.

Apart from ecommerce and the digital payments boom, the new bankruptcy framework is also attracting foreign investors with deep pockets.

India aims to draw US$ 100 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the next two to three years.

Special industrial clusters are being created for countries like Japan, South Korea, China, and Russia where their companies can invest and operate.

India beat China for the most child labor, so who cares?

IIT and the reforms are helping but not nearly as much as China shooting itself in the foot.

IT is a very small fraction of India's GDP. Also, unlike China, India is not an export based economy. The core of Indian economy is Indian market itself.

Not any more. India is going to be sucked into the economic and political vacuum created by China's use of the Japanese industrialization model on steroids, Japan pushed for a two child policy so China pushed for a one child policy. Japan was and, to some extent, still is more or less homogenous culturally but immigrants have poured in. China never was homogenous and is trying to become so. What is coming next is a huge sucking sound based on the collapse of China with the possibility of nuclear armed warlords in the coming warring states period

China was not largely homogeneous? Their population has always been overwhelmingly Han....
