Global CEOs Eye India Growth Despite Foreign Investor Exodus
30 Jan
Summary
- CEOs see India as a land of opportunity for investment.
- Foreign investors withdrew a record $18 billion from India.
- US corporations seek a level playing field in India.
Global business leaders are expressing strong interest in increasing their investments in India, anticipating nearly 7% growth this year. This optimism comes even as foreign investors have divested a substantial $18 billion from Indian equity markets. Volatile currency movements and uncertainties surrounding tariffs have significantly impacted risk appetite among these investors.
Bank of America's CEO highlights that despite these outflows, India is universally recognized as a land of opportunity by business executives worldwide. He notes that discussions around trade are aimed at establishing a level playing field for U.S. companies operating in India. While acknowledging that diplomatic and political factors can influence business, he emphasizes the resilience of the capitalist system, which adapts to regulations and ensures commerce continues to flow.
