Why India

India is currently one of the most attractive emerging markets for investment, driven by a combination of strong economic fundamentals, favorable demographics, and strategic policy reforms. Swedish Industry is increasingly looking towards India for growth, R&D, talent and more, as a preferred destination. It is not without challenges, which we will try to unfold at this roundtable discussion. It also presents opportunities given the geopolitical turmoil we all find ourselves in.

DISCUSSION POINTS

Ease of doing Business in India

From a welcoming regime for foreign investment, to an independent central bank, to a robust legal system for enforcing contractual terms, to a taxation system favouring corporates, to vibrant capital markets, there is a lot to like about the framework. Even more important are the positive demographic trends, growth rates and rising rates of consumption.
