FDI in retailing and inflation: The case of India

No 52, Columbia FDI Perspectives from Columbia University, Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI)

Abstract: India's food price inflation is a major driving factor behind the country's overall accelerating inflation. As demonstrated by experiences of other countries, the recent move of the Indian Government to allow FDI in multi-brand retailing is a step in the right direction, transforming the way perishable agricultural produce is acquired, stored, preserved, and marketed – and thus helping to control India's persistent food inflation.
