The second edition of the Annual Indian Economy Conference coorganized by Medef international, CCIP, EIEBG, and Ernst & Young will take place on the 3RD of April from 6PM to 7:30PM at Medef HQ. The conference will be chaired by Mr. Paul Hermelin, CEO Capgemini Chairman France-India Businessmen Council with the presence of H.E. Mr. Rakesh Sood, Ambassador of India in France...In a difficult international environment, especially for Europe, the Indian economy has slown down in 2011. But with a GDP growth of 7%, it stood as the second engine of the global economy over the period 2007-2011. And the turning point of 2011 has been the promotion of India as the third largest economy in the World according to the latest IMF data, ahead of Japan (GDP in purchasing power parity).
For 2012, most indices show that the Indian economy should bounce back thanks to a wise economic policy that enables to lower interest rates, strengthen the rupee and thus boost investment and consumption.
In this context, the presentation of the 2012-13 Budget scheduled for March 16, is particularly important. As always in India, this is a crucial moment on its economic agenda with the announcement of key regulatory and fiscal measures affecting Indian and foreign companies.
To understand the highlights of the 2012 budget and the India’s economic perspectives, the main partners of our relations with India organize the second Annual Indian Economy Conference (AIEC) after the success of last year. We look forward meeting you at this rendez-vous with the best experts of India in Paris.
