India emerges as third largest FDI source for U.K.

India has emerged as the third largest source of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for United Kingdom (UK) after United States (US) and France in terms of number of projects.

According to a recent report released by UK Trade and Industry (UKTI), the U.S. remained the largest source of inward investment, with a total of 564 projects in 2014-15, followed by France (124 projects) and India (122 projects).

During the year, investment from India increased by 65 per cent. This resulted in creation of 7,730 jobs as well as protection of 1,620 jobs.

The key sectors where Indian companies invested include healthcare, agri-tech, food and drink.

As per the Inward Investment Report 2014-15 of UKTI, 70 countries invested a record £1 trillion in UK in 2014-15, making it Europe’s top FDI destination.

“India and the UK share a long-standing, highly collaborative relationship, fuelling the prosperity of both countries and we greatly value our association with India. The fact that in 2014-15 Indians were the third largest job creators in the UK is a tremendous testimony to the strength of our ties, while the UK is also the largest G20 investor in India, proving the two-way relationship. As Prime Minister Modi said, when the UK and India work together, we are ‘an unbeatable combination,” Sir James Bevan KCMG, British Commissioner to India said in a statement.

“At a time when global FDI flows have fallen, investors from India understand that the UK is welcoming, diverse and open for business,” he added.

The annual investment figures from UKTI for the 2014-15 financial year show that UK has attracted 12 per cent more FDI projects compared to the previous year.

Rajan says full rupee convertibility in a few years
Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan today said the central bank is looking at allowing full capital account convertibility in a few years.

“My hope is that we will get to full capital account convertibility in a short number of years,” he said.

Full capital convertibility means a foreign investor can repatriate his money into his own local currency at will, which is not allowed in the country now.

Stating that the RBI is fairly open to capital inflows, the Governor said: “The only place today that we have some restrictions is inflows into debt, especially very short-term debt.

“I think most people would agree that opening up to short-term debt flows is usually not very clever for reasons of financial stability,” Rajan said while delivering Kale Memorial Lecture at the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics here.

Rajan’s comment on full capital convertibility assumes importance as Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today launched the country’s first international finance centre in Gujarat. Full rupee convertibility can go a long way in the effective functioning this global financial services hub.

It may be noted that many analysts had credited the RBI for its policy of partial capital control, which helped it tide over the impacts of the currency meltdown that many South Asian economies which had full capital convertibility in 1997-98.

In May-August 2013, capital control helped the country from going to the dumps following the taper talks by the US Fed. Even then the country saw as many as over USD 20 billion being pulled out of the country by foreign investors.

Following the June 1991 liberalisation, the government and the RBI have been progressively lifting curbs on capital flows, which saw the FII investment into domestic debt rise to USD 31 billion now.
