Industrial Economist - February 2014

In this issue

In 1991, India stood on the brink of economic bankruptcy. She had reserves equivalent to just a week of our
import bills. Today we have reserves which can pay up seven months of imports. In the backdrop of a growing current account deficit, falling GDP growth, rising inflation and depreciating rupee, there is a clear
need for inflow of dollars. But the direction is in fact
opposite. Over the last few years Indian companies, instead of investing in India are investing globally.
