Highlighting the ongoing economic reforms and improvements in the business environment to continue to support India’s economic growth, the Fitch group company, BMI Research in its latest report has said that India will remain one of the fastest growing emerging markets, with real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth set to average 6.5 percent over the next five fiscal years. As per the report, insolvency regulation is a positive step in cleaning up the financial system in the country and tax reforms will help strengthen India's fiscal revenues. But it also said that significant bureaucratic inefficiencies are likely to cap the country's growth potential further.
According to the report, India's improvement in the ease of doing business ranking masks the fact that bureaucratic inefficiencies remain rife, as indicated by the stalling of the 2015 Land Acquisition Bill in Parliament and a massive backlog of unresolved cases in courts. BMI Research said that these issues are likely to continue to cap India's growth potential below the 7 percent level over the coming years, and the country is likely to continue facing challenges in completing large-scale infrastructure projects and establishing a strong manufacturing base.
The report further stated that there has been a surge in foreign investment, which is likely to continue at a steady pace as global firms look to tap into India's vast market potential and that pro-business and pro-investor policies are likely to encourage investment. It said a more favourable business environment is likely to encourage a pick-up in private investment growth, which has been lacklustre due to poor business environment, as well as heavily leveraged businesses that were unable and unwilling to increase capital investments, particularly large industrial corporates such as steel and coal, which were hit hard by weaker commodity prices.
