MAKING INDIA A GLOBAL HUB
Raghuram G. Rajan
2. • Nouriel Roubini speaking at global business summit in New Delhi said:
“Potential growth for India is much higher than seven
percent they are in the right direction but the country
need to accelerate the pace.”
INDIA HUB FOR GLOBALIZATION
3. • Multicultural and multiethnic society
• Free press
• Opened elected office
• E.g.: TATA group- finding a large opportunity in Indonesia
• Hey Math!- formal collaboration with the university of Cambridge since 2000
ADVANTAGES
4. High tariffs and investment norms-
Till the early 1990s, India was a closed economy
India’s trade to GDP ratio has increased from 15 to 35% of GDP between
1990 and 2005.
Average non-agricultural tariffs have fallen below 15%
Agricultural tariffs average between 30-40%
INDIA STILL NOT AS OPEN:
5. Ban foreign investment in retail trade
Retailing accounts for about 22% of GDP
Till 2011, Indian central govt. denied foreign direct investment in multi
brand Indian retail.
Anti-dumping
Remedy to the domestic industries against the injury caused by the unfair trade practices of
dumping.
Anti-dumping duties are believed to distort the market

6. INDIAN ENTREPRENEURS
• Restricted foreign entry to Indian, resulted in un-exposure of Indian entrepreneurs from
global players.
• Indian Entrepreneurs were not so comfortable facing global players, as financial system of
India was also underdeveloped.
-License Raj in action :- In order to avoid capitalistic monopolies, Nehru stated that companies
should obtain licenses to expand their production capacity.
• largely successful in the 1950s and after, but eventually led to low rates of growth and
investment.
-After Independence
Indians were xenophobic, multinational companies seen as another colonial power in India,
but it was not like that
7. 52%
34%
14%
- Liberalization came since 1980s, ending the License Raj
But it was found around the world that entrepreneurs of financially underdeveloped
economies opposed liberalization.
8. • First, Corporate indifference to the efficient provision of factors of
production, such as power or finance, which results in reinforcing
resistance to liberalization.
• Example-Software companies such as Infosys, TCS, and Wipro
Technologies could compete on the world stage and the profit were
enormous.
• Second, creeping liberalization-initiated by crisis but then gaining a
momentum of its own-forced competition on to other parts of the economy.
• Post-Liberalization-IT businesses succeeded because they were customer
focused and professionally managed.
FACTORS ESSENTIAL IN OPPOSING
LIBERALIZATION:
9. • India had unique sources of competitive advantage, in manufacturing, as a
challenge for the Indian companies to improve their productivity.
• Example- Fear of Bajaj Auto in a competition to Chinese market.
• What keeps India relatively closed?
Country’s politicians, acquired by the bureaucrats.
Global outsourcing banned by the foreigners.
Exports in India averaged 4473.03 USD Million from 1957 until 2015,
which is very low as compared to other countries.
CHALLENGES OF INDIA:
10. • There comes an important question, that the large corporations becoming
more open-minded, could it be the people who are against competition?
The answer to this question is no, as there is a dealing of threat from the
cross-country comparison especially from the developed countries.
The Politicians and Constituent assembly of India, don’t let people to
compete with the world economy.
According to the World Values Survey, India and China are among the
most favorable toward competition.
ROLE OF POLITICIANS AND
CONSTITUENCIES:
11. • The average shows that GDP growth rate and Per-Capita income, richer
people are typically more strongly for competition as compared to other
sections.
• Indian farmers and agricultural workers, especially those who are not
owners, are yet another powerful political constituency against competition.
• According to Churchill’s, older people are more favorable than the young in
a competition.
• In the late 1970s, the government led by Morarji Desai eased restrictions on
capacity expansion for incumbent companies, removed price controls,
reduced corporate taxes and promoted the creation of small-scale industries
in large number.

12. • Current Economic condition of China:
• China's socialist market economy is the world’s
second largest economy by nominal GDP, and
the world’s largest economy by PPT according
to IMF.
• Ranked 77th by Nominal GDP and 89th by
GDP(PPP) in 2014.
• Global hub of manufacturing and trading
nation.
• 1970’s condition:
• In 1970’s, DE collectivization of agriculture,14-
percent decline in industrial production,
dominating position by Gang of four were the
major problems in China.
• Rising farm output swelled exports and
curtailed food imports.
• Rising rural demand and increased access to
urban markets and expertise
PRESENT CHINA
• Reasons of enormous economic growth:
• The First Five-Year Economic Development Plan in
1962, by the Park Chung Hee government.
• A logical move because of the shift toward export
expansion in the early 60’s.
• Promotion strategy of economic growth through
labor-intensive manufactured exports.
• Inflow of foreign capital and rapid growth in exports.
• Problems faced by the economy:
• Problems in Industrial sector , low value added and
labor intensive products.
• Prolonged recession following the second oil price
shock of the decade and protectionism.
• Growth of money supply reduced from 30% to 15%.
• Double-digit Inflation
SOUTH KOREA 1970-
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MODEL
13. India’s young rich working people having voting right having no burden
from past are sending their kind to Parliament.
Education and spread of skills make people tolerant of competition: human
capital gives them a chance in a competitive world.
Attitude will change the likelihood as if population becomes better educated
and skilled they will be more tolerant of competition.
REASONS FOR HOPE
14. Expanding and improving the quality of education - Economic growth can be
analyzed within macro economic environment, the quality of public institutions and
technology. Technological advance is the ultimate source of growth but its origins may be
different across countries
Improving access to finance - financial access promotes growth for enterprises
through the provision of credit to both new and existing businesses. It benefits the
economy in general by accelerating economic growth, intensifying competition, as well as
boosting demand for labor. The incomes of those in the lower end of the income ladder will
typically rise hence reducing income inequality and poverty. In many countries financial
access is still limited to only 20–50 percent of the population.
Promoting ownership and building infrastructure in rural areas- as per Mckinsey’s
report by 2020, Rural Consumer Market will be worth of Rs 250,000 crores.
THREE KEY STEPS FOR OPENNESS AND
LIBERALIZATION
15. Reduce country’s large fiscal deficit – reduction in gross fiscal deficit from 4.5% GDP in 1997-98 to 3.5% in
2000s.
If India is to be a global center in financial service:
It must ensure capital account convertibility :
Freedom to change local financial assets into foreign financial asset and vice versa at market rates of
exchange. Capital account convertibility makes it easier for domestic companies to tap foreign markets. At
the moment, India has current account convertibility. This means one can import and export goods or receive
or make payments for services rendered. However, investments and borrowings are restricted.
But economists say that jumping into capital account convertibility game without considering the downside
of the step could harm the economy. The East Asian economic crisis is cited as an example by those opposed
to capital account convertibility.
KEY STEPS FOR REFORM
16. During the 1990s the average fiscal deficit as a percent of GDP was 5.67 percent. However, after 2003-
04 central governments contained the fiscal deficit from 4.48 percent of GDP to its all time minimum of
2.54 percent in the year 2007-08.
18. • Until the deficit is contained the government has come to rely on a captive domestic
financial market to finance it. Fiscal deficits would have to be funded either by borrowing
from domestic banks or international capital markets.it was before the 1980s when
emerging markets where able to finance their deficit by relying on captive domestic market
and borrowing abroad.
• Risk of crisis would rise considerably if domestic investors were allowed to invest abroad
before it was curbed. The rise of global OFDI flows came to a temporary halt in 2008 and
2009, when the financial crisis and the global economic downturn had a strongly negative
impact on global FDI flows, in particular on OFDI flows from developed countries.
Despite the global downturn, OFDI flows from emerging markets still rose in 2008, but
will also decline in 2009.
HINDRANCE TO OPENING OF CAPITAL
ACCOUNT
19. • The best way to face the competition is to experience it at an early stage.
• Government act as an insurer to fix rapid moving prices'
Rescue nonviable companies with “technology-enhancement”.
Merging of failing Bank with healthy one.
• The Indian Government try to preserve the bankrupt company rather than
liquidating it.
GOVERNMENT INITIATIVE TO FACE DYNAMIC
CHANGES.
20. • SOLUTION
• Reducing entry & exit barriers for creating of new companies.
• Reducing various bureaucratic restriction at the time of incorporation of the
company
• A better flexible labor laws.
• Skill education scheme for the workers who loose their job due to economic
changes.
• Government should invest properly in education.
• With modernization the government has ensure to bring better financial security
schemes.
Unemployment Insurance.
Pension schemes
Health care
So as to protect them at the time of recession.
• To become a more successful working capital for the country.
People should accept competition and utilize time to enhance their ability to compete.
To attract foreign government the government should provide subsidies & tax breaks so
as to attract them to invest in our country.
21. • Infrastructure: - Manufacturing depends on a proper infrastructure.
rapid growth in port up-gradation &expansion.
India needs an investment of 1 trillion in next 5years
According to Deloitte report India will be facing finance problem for
infrastructure nearly 19,000 billion INR. It can only be overcome by
introducing (INFRASTURE DEBT FUND)
• Labor reforms : - India very cost competitive per labor is concerned.
Productivity of labor is too low, to compete with world
we need to increase our productivity.
India Should reform its labor law to make investor friendly.
Skill development should be given top priority.
REQUIREMENTS TO BECOME A GLOBAL HUB
22. • Tax reform :- India should quickly try to implement tax reform.
India has corporate tax of 30% in comparison to China which is
25%.
As per World Bank report dismantling Inter- state check post &
interstate tax collection will reduce freight time by 20-30%. Making
India manufacturing competitive by 3-4%
23. • Bureaucracy : - for manufacturing to be successful, single window clearance
should be the government policy.
India ranks 142 on the list of 184 countries in term of ease of doing business.
• Energy security : - India need to have energy security for sustainable
manufacturing growth.
For GDP growth of 9% Energy growth should be 7%.
Electricity generation was 4.9% at 8% GDP growth.
As per business standards report small scale industries in Tamil Nadu will have
to be shut down due to high electricity cost due to diesel generators.
De-control electricity price & Increase private sector participation.
24. Treat them as domestic ones are treated and to deal with all of the domestic
investors concerns‘.
Experimenting on the policies with different approaches on a small scale to
se what really works or to avoid while setting policies in stone before an
initial rollout phase, when they can still be changed.
Foreign investors value transparency in decision-making since foreigners
are less familiar with the corridors of power. Discretion relied upon the
decision-making process should be seen as fair.
WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR INDIA TO BE MORE WELCOMING
TOWARDS FOREIGN BUSINESSES ???
25. By giving independence to Regulatory and supervisory bodies .
Having relationships with neighbouring countries can also be an extra step
to quell regional tensions.
- Staffing them with attractively remunerated professionals rather than bureaucrat's of proven
loyalty.
-This proactive attitude will to draw not just neighbours but also the larger world community.
