Economic growth of around 7½% makes India the fastest-growing G20 economy. The acceleration of structural reforms, the move towards a rule-based policy framework and low commodity prices have provided a strong growth impetus.

residents from the BIS debt securities database (a proxy for off-shore external bond liabilities) and external liabilities for financial derivatives and
other investments (the latter includes bank loans) from the IMF international investment position database.

Combined corporate tax rates are high
Note: Foreign source income is assumed to be exempted in the residence countries. For India, the 45% rate comprises the 30% CIT rate on
corporate profits, plus 12% surcharge on CIT and 3% earmarked tax (on CIT and surcharge amount), plus the 15% dividend distribution tax.

attract FDI

capital and repayment of loans.

More resources for the tax administration
would raise tax compliance

23. Remove the tax expenditures that benefit the rich most
(e.g. those related to housing investment) and freeze the
income thresholds from which rates apply.
Enable municipalities to raise more real estate taxes.
Implement the reduction in the corporate income tax rate
from 30% to 25% while broadening the base.
Increase the number and training of staff employed in the
tax administration.

support inclusive growth

35. Continue efforts to improve universal access to core public
services
Continue the benchmarking of states and strengthen the
sharing of best practices, in particular on labour
regulations and land laws
Enable reforms in land ownership laws, improve the land
registry and step up the digitisation of land records
Give municipalities more and clearer spending and taxing
powers
Key recommendations for a strong and
balanced regional development

The FDI Regulatory Restrictiveness Index measures statutory restrictions on foreign direct investment across 22 economic sectors. It gauges the restrictiveness of a country’s FDI rules by looking at the four main types of restrictions on FDI: 1) Foreign equity limitations; 2) Discriminatory screening or approval mechanisms; 3) Restrictions on the employment of foreigners as key personnel and 4) Other operational restrictions. Restrictions are evaluated on a 0 (open) to 1 (closed) scale. The overall restrictiveness index is the average of sectorial scores.
The FDI Regulatory Restrictiveness Index reflects the situation at end 2016 for India and at end 2015 for other countries.
Data for Costa Rica refer to the period 2012-15. 4. FDI net inflows are the value of inward direct investment made by non-resident investors in the reporting economy net of repatriation of capital and repayment of loans.
