Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) K V Subramanian has said that a number of reforms undertaken by the government in the last one year especially focused on removing supply side frictions are expected to spur investment, including foreign investment. He also said the fact that India recorded the highest growth amidst pandemic when FDI has shrunk by about 50 percent for the emerging economies, indicates that foreign firms put their money where their mouth is.
Observing that FDI in merger & acquisition (M&A) versus greenfield that distinction is pertinent, Subramanian said, ‘the fact that the same M&A did not happen as much in other countries but happened in India actually thereby recording significant growth...is indicative of the India story.’ Stressing that India is the only country among large economies that has done a slew of reforms in the last one-and-a-half years, he said these are especially focused on removing a lot of supply side frictions paving way for investment to flow in.
CEA also stated that ‘the labour reform, the agricultural reform, the change in definition of MSME to avoid the phenomenon of dwarfism and most importantly, the enterprise policy focused on the private sector...this is where path of future FDI must be understood in the context of the enterprise policy focused on the private sector.’
