The article highlights some of the short and medium term objectives of India’s economic diplomacy and provides game-theoretical setup in a few major areas outlining different players, their pay-offs and best-responses, and India’s potential strategies.
We begin a promising new decade on a hopeful note.
To help navigate the road ahead, we present to you our `Investment Outlook 2020’ report. In it, we seek to examine several long-term socio-economic trends alongside our traditional market analysis to showcase important ideas and provide actionable insights. These are complemented, once again this year, by opinions from decision-makers and thought-leaders across different professional arenas.
Capital Inflows and Economic Growth A Comperative Studyiosrjce
This study examines the impact of capital inflows on economic growth of developing* economies; the
case of Nigeria Ghana and India from 1986-2012. This is necessitated by the doubts being raised as whether the
huge inflows of foreign capita! in developing economies over the years have transmitted to real economic
growth. Augmented Dickey Fuller unit root test was employed to evaluate the stationarity of the data, while
Johansen Co-integration was used to estimate the long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The
casual relationship was tested using Granger Causality, and Ordinary Least Square method was used to
estimate the model. The finding reveals that capital inflows have significant impact on the economic growth of
the three countries. In Nigeria and Ghana, foreign direct and portfolio investment and foreign borrowings have
significant and positive impact on economic growth. Workers' remittances significantly and positively related to
the economic growth of the three countries. The enabling environment should be created in the Developing
Countries to encourage more inflow of foreign investments and workers remittances while India specifically
should channel their foreign aids to productive ends. This will help in dosing the savings-investment gap and
encourage economic growth in these countries. The study signifies that capital inflows is indispensable in
dosing the savings-investment gap required for economic growth of developing countries.

Fostering Competitiveness of the Philippines to attract Foreign Direct Invest...Roby Camagong
This business report provides fact-based insights and analysis to help the Philippine government (Department of Trade and Industry and Philippine Central Bank) make the right decisions and trade-offs in making their economy more competitive to attract foreign direct investments from the US.
Twenty-one years after the economic reforms began, India finds itself at a crossroads. While the global economic crisis is still a reality, growth is slowing and there is a paralysis in policy making. With the union budget around the corner, there is an urgent need to boost reforms and take radical policy decisions. Will finance minister Pranab Mukherjee deliver? Time will tell.

A.T. Kearney issued its first Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Confidence Index® in June 1998, in the shadow of the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Despite jitters following economic collapse in Southeast Asia, businesses saw investment opportunity in the Americas, Western Europe, Russia, and East Asia, and the United States took first place. Here we are in 2015, with the United States first place in the Index again and business executives still tormented by a recent global financial crisis. Today’s investors must account for divergent monetary policies in large developed economies, alongside a surging U.S. dollar and a sustained commodity super-slump. Developed and developing markets alike are moving in unexpected ways.
Yet, amid growing divergence and multiplying risks, there is genuine excitement in the global business community. It starts with the growing belief that the combined strength of the U.S. and Chinese economies—first and second in this year’s FDI Confidence Index—can buoy the world economy while others get back on track. And there is genuine dynamism elsewhere if you know where to look. Numerous countries are opening up long-guarded sectors to privatization and foreign investment. Downturns and fluctuations in other countries are creating opportunities for mergers and acquisitions. And new free-trade agreements are already in place or close at hand, even if the U.S. political environment will continue to frustrate its reliable engagement.
Risk has been a constant since the inception of this Index. The challenge for all global business leaders remains how to think beyond the last crisis while seeking to avoid the next. Those that take a “wait and see” approach often find that their competitors—whether small businesses or country governments—do not hold back in seeking positive growth. Our view is that opportunities abound for those that know where to look, aided by strategic foresight and analysis.
The world is more complicated now than it was in 1997. Global interconnectedness has created a more competitive and complex landscape. Technologies, ranging from unconventional energy extraction to predictive and even prescriptive analytics, are changing the game and increasing the probability of strategic disruption in every sector and corner of the world.
The complexity of risk and opportunity in 2015 underscore the importance of the insights contained in this year’s FDI Confidence Index. As always, we welcome any input you may have regarding the Index, its scope and our analysis.

This FICCI E&Y report, fifth in the series, highlights the recent trends in investments and M&A by Indian companies in the US. The report highlights the efforts of Indian corporates in not only their corporate globalization but also their strategic quest to uncover new markets and connect with the global supply chain.
Healthcare is one of India’s largest sectors and continues to grow at an impressive pace. As India strives to become a US $5 trillion economy, the healthcare sector along with its multiplier effect on other industries has a significant role to play in India’s growth story in this decade. Prosperity and economic development of a nation are highly correlated to the well-being of its populace. Hence, provision of accessible healthcare is not a consequence but a pre-requisite of economic growth.
Predicting financial markets is a near impossibility as variables and inputs remain innumerable and are consequently hard to crack. But broadly, markets react as much to domestic considerations as they do to external ones. Interest rates, demand and business profitability are the primary domestic factors that determine market sentiment. Global economic and trade considerations together with the monetary policies of the major central banks influence the disposition of investment funds that divert capital from and towards emerging markets.

The rise of the global South is radically reshaping the world and is perhaps the most significant development of recent times. As one of the fastest growing economies, India has emerged as the seventh largest economy globally. Moreover, India’s 16-rung leap in the recently released Global Competitiveness ranking by the World Economic Forum points towards its sharp focus on improving competitiveness.
As India began to enhance its competitiveness journey and given the new direction of its economic and political diplomacy, it has signed FTAs with some of the most important economies like Japan, Korea, Malaysia and the ASEAN countries in the last few years. It is also in the process of negotiating comprehensive trade agreements with EU, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. It has made its presence felt in alliances like the G-20, IBA, and BRICS and has also deepened relations with the East Asian countries. All this points towards India’s growing integration into the Global Economy.
While Indian industry has adapted well to the changing global dynamics, it needs to work hard to integrate itself into the global value chains (GVCs) to boost its global trade, and the country’s economic development.
This edition of Policy Watch looks at some of the important issues that continue to impact the overall trade performance of India and highlights key policy interventions that need to be taken up on priority.
The October edition of the Newsletter outlines the Indian priorities and the road ahead for the G20; provides brief information on the happenings at the World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), International Finance Corporation (IFC), World Trade Organization (WTO), International Trade Centre (ITC) and highlights the key remarks made by the Minister of State for External Affairs at the 8th IBSA Trilateral Ministerial Commission Meeting.

Navigating India's Growth Odyssey:
Top Investment Themes for 2024
Over the next quarter century, the international order is likely to change considerably. A new geopolitical and macroeconomic context will necessitate a flexible strategy to maximise India's national interest.
In this Discussion Document, an analytical framework is developed to visualise possible New World Orders at the intersection of two axes. The first axis represents five possible geopolitical trends, organised by the degree of global polarity. The second axis represents four geoeconomic trends, based on the degree of growth, automation, trade, and labour movements.
In each scenario, the proposed strategies to maximise India's national interest are determined. The most frequently-occurring strategies are used to develop an agenda that will hold India in good stead, regardless of how the world shapes up.
Domestic Economic Reforms
Liberalise major sectors, implement labour and factor market reforms. Be an attractive destination for FDI.
Focus on the employment elasticity of growth in addition to growth itself. Collaborate with foreign universities for skilling the workforce.
Build a social security net to deal with inequality, unemployment, skill obsolescence, and an aging population.
Reforms for India’s engagement with the world at large.
Three critical military shifts needed: from land to sea, from the physical to the virtual (cyberwarfare); and from manpower to firepower.
Champion the cause of globalisation as movement of labour, goods, and services is critical for India’s growth.
Retain flexibility in terms of alignment: be open to larger partnerships and global projects, as well as unilateral action.
Partner with other middle powers, especially those concerned by G2 dominance.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor to trade with.

Resume
• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

1. India’s Economic Diplomacy & Global Connect
32 EXTRAORDINARY AND PLENIPOTENTIARY DIPLOMATIST Annual Edition 2014
Objective-Driven Geo-Politics
Leveraging Foreign Policy for India’s Economic Gains
Abhay Gupta highlights some of the short and
medium term objectives of India’s economic
diplomacy and provides game-theoretical setup
in a few major areas outlining different players,
their pay-offs and best-responses, and India’s
potential strategies.
R
ecent years have seen many significant changes in the geo-
political landscape. These shifts offer important lessons for
Indian foreign policymakers and diplomats. By understanding
the background of these shifts in balance of power and the trends
these shifts will trigger, India can recalibrate its strategies. The
first step will be to identify the underlying (demographic &
economic) forces and mechanisms at work in different regions
of the world. The next era of inter-country relationships will be
driven more by strategic requirements than ideologies. India needs to assess its short and
medium term objectives of its economic diplomacy like ensuring supply of raw materials
for domestic manufacturers, meeting growing demand for oil and energy, deeper
integration into global value chains, attracting foreign direct investment in infrastructure
projects, achieving balance between technology transfer and intellectual property
rights regime, and shielding itself from the adverse effects of various bilateral trade deals
around the world. An objective-driven approach will help in determining the trade-offs
in situations with two or more conflicting interests (for example: whether to support
US sponsored sanctions on Iran and risk losing a significant oil supplier). This essay
highlights some of these objectives and provides game-theoretical setup in a few major
areas outlining different players, their pay-offs and best-responses, and India’s potential
strategies.
Evolving Global Mechanisms
The unprecedented growth of the Chinese economy was already affecting global
alliances when the financial crisis of 2008 hit US and Europe. Not only did it reduce
the economic bargaining power of the developed world, the crisis also had a broader
impact on people’s ideological leanings. In the affected countries (US, Western Europe,

Japan etc.), the voters started questioning their blind belief in the power of markets and
became more accepting of the increased role of government. The huge increase in the
number of unemployed and the inability to generate robust growth had made these
countries inward-looking and sceptical of the benefits of uncontrolled globalisation.
Greece and Portugal saw anti-German protests and in recent EU elections, many
nationalist (and anti-immigrant) parties won a record number of seats. In the wider
world (developing countries in Latin America, Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa), this
unexpected and widespread financial crisis has changed public opinion regarding the
benefits of capitalism vs. socialism with many commentators often citing it as a failure
of the capitalist system. Chinese authorities managing the crisis (at least so far) will have
also acted in tilting the debate.
These shifts have already changed the dynamics for India. The old grouping of G7
has given way to G20. India is an active participant of the monetary policy coordination
meetings of G20. IMF and World Bank are discussing ways to increase the role of
emerging economies like India and China and therefore, acknowledging the reduced
importance of the developed countries. However, this recognition of India’s importance
on the global scene is going to be a long term phenomenon and Indian diplomats have
their work cut out for them to manage various dynamics in India’s favour. At many
of the international multilateral discussions, the debate will not simply be between
the developed and developing countries, but among different blocks of countries
promoting competing interests. On different fora, India may find itself arguing with and
arguing against the same country. Indian diplomats need to understand the rationale
for these seemingly inconsistent positions and defend them by keeping the focus of the
international community on underlining priorities.
Borrow from Friends or Make New Friends
In the months since becoming prime minister, Narendra Modi has focussed on
ensuring that the world knows about India’s intentions. A single-minded focus on
generating inclusive economic growth sends a strong message that India’s foreign policy
will be driven by economic diplomacy. In particular, the rich nations know that India
IMF and World Bank are discussing ways to
increase the role of emerging economies like India
and China and therefore, acknowledging the
reduced importance of developed countries

needs huge investments in its infrastructure. Usually,
the countries with deeper economic ties are less hostile
towards each other. The causality, though, may exist
in the other direction as well; i.e. less hostile countries
form stronger ties. If a country has invested hugely in
India through direct FDI or infrastructure loans, it has
incentives to support a stable and prospering India.
Thus strategically, India has a choice between
strengthening existing ties by borrowing from current
donors like Japan and creating new ties by signing
up new partners like China for various infrastructure
projects. There is a point of view that strategically India
has leverage over US since the US wants to see India as a
competitor to China in the region. This is only partially
true. US will be as opposed to a multi-polar world (US,
China, India) in future as it is to a bi-polar world now
(US, China). The calculations must be done carefully to
evaluate the sunk costs vs. the value of outside options
for each potential partner.
In addition to FDI, India can also create strategic ties
with a country (US vs. China) through its allocation of
foreign reserves. Even though the RBI is independent
and should make that decision based on economic
cost-benefit analysis, many recent incidents suggest
that it has political dimensions. For example, the
US Treasury has been reluctant to label China as a
currency manipulator fearing that one of the possible
repercussions could be China shifting its foreign reserve
allocation away from the US dollar.
Outward FDI: Protecting India’s Interest
Elsewhere
Despite all the criticism regarding import substation
policies of the 1970s, one positive outcome has been
the emergence of big Indian companies. In a globalised
world, size does matter because of economies of
scale and various other factors. Indian companies
already have state-of-the-art technologies and world
class workforces and are becoming more confident
players in international markets. In the last few years,
they have started making significant investments in
other countries. Even though the motives for these
investments are not altruistic, India can benefit if this
trend is streamlined with the help and support of Indian
diplomats in those countries.
Indian economists and policymakers have berated
these outward FDI as opportunistic moves, but they
overlook the several benefits of outward FDI. There
are depressed assets in many European economies
in several sectors. If Indian companies buy assets in
France or UK, those countries are less likely to vote for
a policy in the international arena (e.g. climate change
talk) that may harm Indian interests. That’s because any
trouble to Indian companies creates the risk of them
curtailing or shutting down their foreign operations. For
India to have that leverage over foreign countries in future,
Indian foreign policy needs to support India Inc’s foreign
expansions now.
Deploying Foreign MNCs towards India’s
Advantage
The service sector has been the driver of growth in
the Indian economy. In particular, export-oriented, high-
tech companies in sectors like ICT, IT-enabled services,
bio-tech and pharma have done particularly well. Indian
economic diplomacy in the past has focussed on ensuring
this channel of growth continues. However, there have
been two developments that haven’t received enough
attention of Indian diplomats. Many foreign-based
companies have recognised the competitive advantage
and scalability of India’s educated workforce and have
set up big offices in India. Similarly, with the rise of the
middle class, India has become a crucial source of growth
for another set of foreign based companies (mostly in the
consumer goods sectors).
These foreign based MNCs like IBM and P&G
have vested interests in India and thus can influence
policymakers in their countries through direct lobbying
or through lobbying by their shareholders. We would
never know whether the nuclear apartheid of India would
have ended sooner, had India used the leverage it had on
US-based MNCs, because of their workforce or market
shares. This cost-benefit analysis equation is constantly
changing and so are the pay-offs for the foreign country
in going one way or the other with India. Many of the
parameters are unknown to us (for example, the influence
of MNCs on their politicians), so Indian diplomats
should start exploring this dimension in their negotiations
to assess the strength of these leverages.
Compete vs. Collaborate: Proper
Positioning of Make in India Initiative
India’s internal security in the next few decades will
depend on whether India can create enough unskilled
jobs to keep its young population employed. The ‘Make
in India’ initiative focussing on manufacturing, including
low-end and mass-scale production, is the engine that can
generate the required number of jobs. Again, the role of
the foreign policy is crucial in ensuring its success. India
needs foreign impetus in terms of export demand and
relocation of production bases. With US, Europe, Japan,
Korea and almost every other country planning to rely on
exports to jumpstart their economies, this is not going to
be easy.
India needs to carefully examine the existing global
value chains and determine the weakest linkages. Indian
diplomats can try to offer India as a replacement for those
weak relationships. For example, a trade in intermediate
goods (e.g. auto parts) from China going to Japan,
which manufactures a value-added final product (e.g.
cars) is susceptible to political problems between those
two countries. If India offers itself as a viable alternative
to such a link, Japan would happily make the switch.
The other area to explore can be the competition in
different product spaces. If a Chinese company intends to
compete in building high speed railways with European
companies, the European companies should not make
that competition sustainable by using Chinese suppliers.
If they move to Indian suppliers, Chinese suppliers will
lose significant revenue and thus, will not be able to invest
as much in R&D that will lower the competitiveness of
Chinese railway companies.
Being Assertive Without Appearing
Arrogant: G20, WTO and UN
If recent multilateral discussions on climate change
and the WTO agreements are any guide, India is not
doing a good job of communicating its position to
the Western media. India has unique requirements on
these forums and it will become increasingly harder
to get other countries to support India’s position. It is
true that India doesn’t need to worry about appeasing
developed countries anymore, but in the longer term,
people’s perception and popular sentiments do matter.
Indian diplomats need to deploy a wide set of resources,
including Indian-origin academics whose opinions are
regarded more neutral to explain the rationale behind
India’s actions.
India can try the approach often used in US domestic
politics of bundling policies preferred by other countries
in the same package as its preferred policy. That would
A single-minded focus on
generating inclusive economic
growth sends a strong message
that India’s foreign policy will be
driven by economic diplomacy

avoid India being painted as only a hold-out. For example,
the issue of agricultural subsidy vs. public procurement
and support prices could be combined with the issue
of market access to GMO seeds. On G20 and OECD’s
initiative on reducing the tax-arbitrage among countries,
India is in general agreement with the majority position.
The recurrent theme of recent climate change talks has
been the shifting nature of the discussion and alliances.
As India tries to increase the share of manufacturing
in GDP, the emission levels are going to rise. The gains
from energy efficiency and carbon pricing will probably
be offset by an increase in industrial output. India has
to stress that it has more poor to move out of poverty
than any other country and thus, from consumption and
production point of view, the current levels should not be
used as a baseline for determining binding targets.
Balancing IP Commitment with Domestic
Strategic Needs
In the last couple of years, India had been getting
labelled as a country reneging on its obligations under
trade-related aspects of Intellectual Property Rights
(WTO TRIPS). Politicians in both the US and Europe
have made official statements criticising India for various
actions in its domestic pharmaceutical markets. This is not
only a PR issue. If this image of India becomes ingrained
among Western CEOs, they will shy away from entering
India. In addition to losing potential FDI, this issue can
also lead to restriction on technology transfer and loss of
human capital accumulation (learning by doing channel).
Indian policymakers should realise that almost 60
percent of the developed world’s exports are in sectors
relying on patent or copyright protections. They would
rather lose the Indian market than set up a precedent
of allowing a country disregard their IP rights. Indian
diplomats are better suited to engage with foreign
companies when it comes to explaining the need for these
interventions than bureaucrats working for domestic

state-of-the-art technologies and

becoming more confident players
in international markets
regulators. Again, assessments need to be done to find
how much the companies value access to the market,
their sunk cost, and the direct and indirect implications of
aspects like compulsory licensing in each particular case.
Natural Resources: Keep the Engine
Running
One of the things that Indian diplomats can learn from
Chinese expansion in the last decade is China’s strategic
focus on its requirements. China has created significant
ties with Latin America and Africa by investing in various
projects related to exploration and extraction of natural
resources. Like China, India also has a large population
and does not have proportional natural resources
(raw materials and oil) on its soil, at least in terms of
known reserves. Indian companies like ONGC have
been working on creating similar relationships with the
countries around the world that would ensure long term
supply of oil and gas. As India moves towards becoming a
manufacturing power, there will be a need to ensure that
Indian companies are not left to fend for themselves in
case of shocks in commodities’ supply-chains.
Many of the resource-rich countries in Africa and
Latin America do not have strong institutions and
thus, Indian diplomats are crucial during not only the
project sign-up and development stage, but even in later
operation stages. India already has a good relationship
with many countries in West Asia, but it faces the trade-off
between diversifying its supplier base and strengthening
the leverage it has in existing partnerships. One additional
parameter to consider may be their relationship with
Pakistan. Since Indian companies may have only partial
views and may be inclined to make decisions based
on short term parameters, Indian policymakers and
diplomats need to convince them about the benefits
of investing in these strategic ties. In fact, the sharing
of various scenarios and their likelihoods envisioned
by Indian diplomats with Indian companies may help
in correct estimation of net-present-value of these
investments or in running stress tests (for Indian banks
with exposure to projects requiring raw materials supplied
by politically unstable countries).
Regional Dynamics: Trans-Pacific, Trans-
Atlantic and other Trading Blocs
Perhaps the most crucial and certainly the most
immediate component of Indian economic diplomacy is
to predict, analyse and pre-empt on-going bilateral trade
agreements between countries and regional blocs around
the world where India is not involved. The production
process has shifted from being organised by countries to
being driven by MNCs and global value chains. The US is
leading the effort to sign major trade agreements on both
sides of its continent: Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
with countries in Asia Pacific rim including Australia and
Japan; Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
(TTIP) with the EU. There are many ways that India
can be left out. If major economies around the world
agree on some product or labour market standard that
is incompatible with India’s current standard, that would
put India at a disadvantage. The impact of trade diversion
effects can be significant given the size of these treaties.
The details of these discussions are kept under wraps
until consensus emerges but Indian diplomats can use
their resources to find out the broad outline and identify
any areas of concerns for India. Even though India cannot
induce any of the countries to walk away from these
agreements, it can certainly try to change the details of
the final agreement. For example, when details of an
investor protection clause empowering US MNCs to sue
EU governments were released to the media, there was a
serious pushback from voters as well as politicians.
Bill Clinton famously said, ‘it is the economy’ that
voters most care about. With globalisation and rise of an
aspiring middle class in many countries, this has become
true for international diplomacy as well. Even though
the economic aspects should not be the only criteria
driving the actions of Indian diplomats, they help in
providing a more tractable and objective way of decision
making. India is at a transformational stage and the proper
placement of the Indian economy in the evolving global
chain can ensure that India can soon move to being
a middle income country. India’s diplomats can have
significant impact in this journey by charting the least
difficult route and reassuring the international community
about India’s ultimate destination.
