Structural Reforms in India


Bloomberg’s William Pesek notes:
“Rajan and Modi were both probably buoyed by recent news that tech giant Foxconn Technology is looking at manufacturing Apple's iPhone in India. It's an endorsement of the country's current economic stewardship, and an indication of India's broader potential as a manufacturing hub, especially given China's determination to move its production upmarket from basic manufacturing to software design, aerospace and robotics. But if Modi hopes to reach the full potential of his “Made in India” campaign, it will require bold government action -- action that Rajan's  quid pro quo strategy could help motivate.”
