India intends to become a US$5 trillion economy by 2024. To achieve this goal, the government has announced several reforms, such as the reduction in corporate tax, bringing India at par with major global economies on the taxation front. The government has also promised that it will continue to take measures to improve India’s business climate.

Meanwhile, India’s FDI inflows have continued to thrive. With more sectors being liberalized, it is expected that India will continue to be an attractive destination for foreign businesses.

The country has also made it easier to start a business, streamlined the construction and building permit process, and made it simpler to resolve insolvency and to trade across borders. This is indicative of the country’s potential for growth as an investment hub.
