India Economy Thread

[r3alist]

Economist actually praises India's statistical robustness, if you can read past the headline

It'll be better if you can keep your mouth shut on topics you don't understand.

This is the thing , you think you can tell people your feelings need to be reflected as fact, and then you don't like any mild probing, so ignorance to inconvenience ....it's hard coded.

You should move on from the hormonal teenage phase.

Investment outflows means firms are taking profit and Indian companies are investing outside India.

Lol, so why would firms miss out on further growth that you insist is there and will happen .... That is the opposite of what they do investors would love nothing more than to compound on returns if the growth picture is strong

It reflects that the markets are seen as overvalued, and I have provided hard facts on this, which makes sense because your key prestige sector of services is currently bumpy, China and America are the main AI plays, so consequently India does not represent a strong growth narrative

Yeah you still don't have fundamental understand how investment works. Do you? You didn't answer the question, why if economy is stagnating, we get $95 Billions in investment and increasing. Outflow is calculated both by profit taking, divesting and outflow through India's own investment in foreign firms or markets.

It's nice to see you comparing India with China and not the shithole economies in the region. Like yeah, the foreign investment in India is comparable to China, or say AI development quantum computing et al is comparable, we are still so far away from both US and China be it AI or in general economy, but our presence is only steadily increasing. Expected for a country that contributes some 17% to GDP growth in this world.

You are comparing two different types of investment you silly samosa

I was talking specifically about portfolio investment and rotation away from India in the emerging market bucket, it has lost its value thesis relative to other economies and areas, yet what is your narrative, there is only one large growing attractive investment economy




you are referring to something more like capital investment, and that is fine and good and probably will align the GDP further, this is all good.....so for your sanity if you need a 101% positive narrative, i will pretend to agree with you

But....If you can ingest this without melting

India’s Unconvincing Economic Facade

India portrays itself as a, or even the, global growth leader. The rest of the world should recognize that the reliability of India’s economic data is low.

There are a number of issues with official job statistics. Looming over them all is a manifestly ridiculous definition of unemployment:

According to the Current Weekly Status (CWS) approach, a person was considered as unemployed in a week if he/she did not work even for 1 hour on any day during the reference week but sought or was available for work at least for 1 hour on any day during the reference week.15

And if employed under this definition for 30 days, a person is considered employed for the year. Thirty hours can technically qualify as employment for a year

Weak argument, you're the one who brought up outflows. But oh that's not favorable for you eh?

I was talking specifically about portfolio investment and rotation away from India in the emerging market bucket, it has lost its value thesis relative to other economies and areas, yet what is your narrative, there is only one large growing attractive investment economy

You weren't, you were talking about "investment outflow". Even if you are talking specifically about FII's, even that's not favorable for you. Indian Domestic investors are large enough to cover for the Foreign portfolio investors. These are hot money, they chase quick and easy money. It's not the indicator of the economy or sentiments of the "investors" there is hundreds of reasons for them to leave.

you are referring to something more like capital investment, and that is fine and good and probably will align the GDP further, this is all good.....so for your sanity if you need a 101% positive narrative, i will pretend to agree with you

Yeah, yeah yeah. You want to stick to favorable numbers yeah? FIIs because you can find some "good news" there.

You are an endless supply of comic relief when it comes to your knowledge in economics. What now? "1 hour" rule. What can we do, it is actually the official standard set by the International Labour Organization (ILO). Basically that's how all the countries count employment and you're bringing this up as if you found a new kryptonite lol! If you want, you can write an angry email to ILO asking them to change their rules, don't forget to specifically mention your place of origin because you gotta cc them as well.

But if you insist this is somehow faked by India because (well I hate ILO saar) for arguments sake we can look at private data collectors CMIE which uses methodology like youth unemployment rate and even then India's unemployment rate is comparable to it's peers.

Yet India begging to be part of UK led 6th gen project and buying second hand Jaguar aircraft from UK, also asking for Rolls Royce ToT.

When did India asked brits to be part of their ppt files? The best we've known is India showing interest in France-led FCAS. 2nd hand jaguars are bought for spares to maintain existing fleet due to delays in induction of new jets (offtopic from this thread anyway).

Indians flooding UK to work as delivery drivers. Indians lining up for UK visas.

Last I checked Indians along with Chinese remain highest earning ethnic groups there. Zero points for guessing who's at the bottom

Chinese ethnic group biggest earners in the UK

Overall, ethnic minorities earn 3.8% less than white ethnic groups, the first official figures show.
