Today only I came across a Bloomberg video where 2 American Financial Analysts were discussing that Foreign investments are so attracted to India now because there is Real GDP Growth, infrastcture has improved, and many other KPIs have improved that what they were in last 7-8 yrs.

This man was given a specific job to bring some order on key economic policies and get Rajan to work as per government policy, he failed to have Rajan agree on that. Rajan was always bogged by china effect on global trend and kept rejecting governments request for reducing interest rate. Now this person has lots of gyan

Dr Shamika Ravi clearly bringing political parties like UPA times etc to talk about economic matters.. I believe economists must talk on fundamentals nd who is ahead for betterment of country.. No doubt Indian economic debate nd discussion has plunged.. Just because of gangho economists with govt like Debroy, Sanjiv Sanyal nd shamika ravi

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND "..... it's true for you as mr r rajan policy while he was governor of RBI we don't as Bhartiya, where american float more than 3 trillion to cope with COVID and we didn't and the difference is debt of country gets high in america where our policies allowed us to grow from 22 onwards so it's fine if you and people like you don't understand our growth and development.

The Prof is totally out of touch with the reality. American economic policy cannot be cut and pasted everywhere. This was proved during Covid. The lady economist was very confident and knew what she was talking unlike the Prof. and fantastically rebutted Profs arguments. I think, India Today hasn’t learnt its lesson from their earlier choice of inviting economists from US to talk about Indian economy and as if IIMs economists are not good enough to dissect what is happening in India economically. Please get out off your colonial mentality and don’t waste your money on US economists to provide solutions for Indian economy.

SUMMARY: Dr. Arvind Subramanian and Dr. Shamika Ravi discuss the state of the Indian economy, debating whether the government's optimistic outlook is hype or reality. They examine economic indicators, manufacturing growth, private investment, and government policies. IDEAS: - India's economic achievements provide a basis for the debate between hype and reality - Early signs of manufacturing revival, especially in southern states, with factories employing 5,000-20,000 workers - India is gaining global market share in services exports, diversifying and going upscale from the IT revolution - Latest GDP numbers are mystifying and don't add up according to some economists - Declining foreign direct investment despite the China plus one opportunity raises questions - Private investment levels are below 2016 levels and way below early 2000s boom levels - Efficiency of FDI utilization may be improving even if total FDI as a share of GDP is declining - Retrospective tax and allocation cancelations were body blows to private sector confidence, taking a decade to recover from - Satellite data shows 18% increase in built-up area, a proxy for economic activity, from 2015-2020 - India's domestic market alone is not big enough to drive manufacturing growth - Successful developing countries achieved 7-8% growth with 15%+ manufacturing export growth - India may have missed the peak manufacturing opportunity but demand will continue growing as other regions develop - China spends 1.7% of GDP, more than defense, on industrial policy - India must respond strategically - Services alone cannot produce the inclusive growth India needs with its 600M workforce - Government has done well on economic "hardware" but not as much on policy "software" - Questions remain on whether government policy is creating a level playing field for all investors - Production Linked Incentives (PLIs) are working in some sectors like mobile phones - Government capital expenditure crowds in private investment in India, unlike other countries - Scientific, trial-and-error approach needed for industrial policy since India can't match China's spending - India has turned inward on trade policy which seems inconsistent with stated ambitions to grow manufacturing - Providing basic amenities to bottom economic segments is laying the long-term foundation for growth QUOTES: - "The best lie is which is closest to the truth, so we're only having the reality hype thing because there is a lot of reality." - "The latest GDP numbers I just simply cannot understand them. I say that with genuine respect and things they're absolutely mystifying they don't add up." - "Why isn't more [FDI] coming in... why isn't investment, routinely we hear captains of industry coming and praising the economy, it's as if they're saying one thing in public but actually you don't see the numbers in the data at all." - "It has taken us about a decade, you are beginning to see a growth in the last few quarters in private investment, but that's that is the long-term impact of some of these absolutely disastrous policies that we witnessed under the UPA 2 regime." - "We are making the mistake now of thinking that we can grow based on the domestic market which I think is a fatal error of judgment because no country in the postwar period... ever achieved 7-8% growth without 15% growth in manufacturing exports." - "Do you realize the strategic importance of government and industrial policy and what is happening in the world today? You have to respond to that." - "It's not like the country became totally different in 2014... whatever the achievements and the failures we've had over the last 10-15 years are cumulative and bipartisan." - "I would make a distinction between hardware where the government has done very well versus the software... you still don't see any outcomes." - "You should view what is happening in India today as something that happened in the US in the 1940s post the war - you are expanding basic amenities to all citizens everywhere in the country because this is the foundation for long-term sustainable economic growth." HABITS: - Looking at granular, constituency-level satellite data to understand on-the-ground economic realities - Examining a range of economic indicators beyond just GDP numbers to get a holistic picture - Considering the long-term, cumulative impact of policies across political regimes - Distinguishing between government performance on economic "hardware" vs policy "software" - Benchmarking India's manufacturing and trade trajectory against other successful developing economies - Recognizing the strategic importance of industrial policy in the current global economic context - Taking a scientific, experimental approach to policymaking FACTS: - India's share of global low-skill manufacturing exports like apparel is 2.7% compared to around 40% for China - India's GDP is around $2.5-3 trillion, of which middle class consumption is $750 billion to $1 trillion - The global economy is $80-90 trillion, so India's domestic market is relatively small - China spends 1.7% of GDP on industrial policy, more than it spends on defense - India has a workforce of 600 million that needs to transition from agriculture to manufacturing and services - Historically in India, increased government capital expenditure crowds in private investment, unlike other economies - In the 1940s post-WW2, the U.S. expanded provision of basic amenities which enabled long-term growth REFERENCES: - Satellite data from the European Commission used to analyze economic activity at the constituency level - Data on India's share of global manufacturing exports and comparisons to China's share - Historical data on the relationship between government and private investment levels in India RECOMMENDATIONS: - Examine the latest GDP numbers carefully and look at a range of economic indicators for a clearer picture of India's economic health - Aim policies at boosting manufacturing, especially in labor-intensive sectors, to drive inclusive growth and employment - Respond to the strategic trade and industrial policies being adopted by other major economies - Provide a stable and level playing field for investors to boost private investment - Target PLI and other industrial policies scientifically at sectors where India has a competitive advantage - Balance ambitions to grow manufacturing exports with trade policies that maintain an open economy - Stay the course on expanding access to basic amenities to lay the long-term foundations for growth - Take a longer-term view of economic policymaking that recognizes cumulative effects across political administrations - Complement progress on economic "hardware" with equal attention to policy "software" to boost outcomes - Use granular data to identify and target economic policies to areas that are lagging in growth

In order to attract foreign investment India needs to make India an attractive place to live, which it is not except in some cities in Haryana and western U.P. The cleanness and public toilets are in terrible condition. There are garbage every where. Even the railway compartments are dirty. Nobody likes to come to India even the NRIs. It is a terrible place to live. That is the reason foreign investments are going to Vietnam not to India.

Most comments are personal attacks, praising one vs another.

Even apparel is going to Bangladesh. If this is an opportunity, with a small window why are we missing it.

Such a stupid conversation. Rahul and Shamika Ravi were on one-side and didn’t let Arvind Subrahmaniam to speak much. It’s been 10 years since Modi govt is in power and it is still blaming the previous governments for the state of the economy and the slow growth in the GDP numbers. Where are the 100 smart cities which Modi ji promised? Where are Adarash Gram (ideal villages) which Modi govt wanted each MP to build? If Shamika thinks that the parliamentary constituencies have seen so much growth, then where are the jobs? Why India has such historic unemployment?
