There is a strong relationship between foreign investment and economic growth.
Larger inflows of foreign investments are needed for the country to achieve a
sustainable high trajectory of economic growth. There are several irrefutable
reasons for this. For the economy to grow by 7 to 8 per cent a year there is a need
to invest around 35 to 40 per cent of GDP. National savings fall far short of this
by nearly 10 per cent. Foreign borrowing and foreign investments have to meet
this investment-savings gap. This is generally recognized and successive
governments have attempted to provide various incentives to foreign investors
