Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that India's commitment to reform is being taken seriously by foreign investors, which is evident from the good inflow of Foreign Direct investment (FDI) even during the time of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Between April-July, the FDI into India stood at $20 billion.
Sitharaman said ‘India's commitment to reform is taken seriously by investors abroad and they take India to be a very desirable destination, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing good amount of FDI coming even during the pandemic time when India, as many of our critics would say, had the strictest lockdown.’
The minister further said the government’s next push Aatmanirbhar Bharat would help India build on its strengths and become self-reliant. She noted that Aatmanirbhar Bharat will lead to greater export competitiveness, better pricing and quality of exports, which show the Indian skill of making things to perfection. She pointed out that Aatmanirbhar Bharat is not for making India inward-looking, but to build on its strengths, one of the ways in which the country can become more competitive.
