The economic studies aim to provide the reader with a macroeconomic overview. They also list the key sectors that offer important opportunities for our Belgian export companies.
  • Economic study India (November 2013)

    India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. With growth rates averaging 8% annually over the past 20 years, it is part of the BRICS coutries, the club of five that is one of the engines of the global economy.

    The XIIth five-year policy programme (2012-2017), based on the mantra "faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth", sets major investment targets. The bulk of the effort should come from the domestic and foreign private sector. The focus is on key sectors, such as infrastructure and energy. In addition, India is committed to inclusive growth, which is to be stimulated by the evolution of purchasing power.

    According to experts, India will continue to play its role as a leader in the world economy. It goes without saying that this prognosis for the future offers considerable business opportunities for our Belgian companies.

    On the occasion of the Belgian economic mission to India (23-29 November 2013), the Belgian Foreign Trade Agency has published an "economic study". The first chapter is devoted to India's macroeconomic situation, while the second contains an analysis of five dynamic sectors in which trade opportunities abound: cleantech & renewable energy, healthcare & pharma, diamonds, infrastructure and telecommunications. This is followed by a selection of recent success stories of Belgian companies in India.
