Indian FDI Falls in Global Economic Crisis

Abstract: Just over a year ago, India's outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) seemed to be on a path of rapid and sustained growth. Its average annual growth of 98% between 2004 and 2007 was unprecedented, far ahead of that of other emerging markets like China (74%), Malaysia (70%), Russia (53%), and the Republic of Korea (51%), albeit from a much lower base. However, much of the recent growth in India's OFDI has been fuelled by large-scale overseas acquisitions, and it faltered when the global financial crisis that started in late 2007 made financing acquisitions harder.
