The year 2009 turned out to be one of the most important and crucial years for the world economy

Message from the President

[Close]

The year 2009 turned out to be one of the most important and crucial years for the world economy, as well as world trade and investment.

While most of these countries announced substantial stimulus packages to revive their economies. only two countries - India and China showed impressive economic growth. Both the countries also provided stimulus packages for the growth of their economies. There was only a slight decline in the annual economic growth rate in the economies of India and China, which was understandable. In fact, development of these economies proved to be an engine for stimulating the economies of the developed countries, as well as the world.

India’s economic policies have undergone a major shift, post liberalization and our economy is much more open to trade and investment, and more closely integrated with the world economy. Today, India is acknowledged as the second largest of the dynamic emerging economies and the country looks poised to play a greater role in the world economic affairs.

The World Investments Prospects Survey for 2009 – 11 by UNCTAD has rated India as the third most attractive destination for foreign investment. Similarly, the 2009 survey of the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, conducted among Japanese investors, continues to rank India as the second most promising country for overseas business operations. It is interesting to note that, while India was ranked 32nd in the world on FDI inflows in 2001, in a span of just seven years, it has jumped 19 places, to be placed at the 13th position.

The latest numbers indicate that the industrial sector is growing by 9 to 10 percent. Business confidence is rising. Retail sales across segments – automobiles, FMCG, Consumer durables – are once again picking up. Even the realty sector is reporting an improvement. Foreign investments too are coming back into the Indian Market.

Against this backdrop, the All India Association of Industries and World Trade Centre organized the Global Economic Summit on Trade and Investment Opportunities in January 2010 at Mumbai providing an international forum to present the trade and investment opportunities in over 30 countries.

I wish you all a very Happy & Prosperous 2010 !!!!

- Vijay Kalantri
