New Tigers Of Asia

The Wall Street Journal (June 1, Page A6) reports that Economic Growth in India and China is keeping pace. India reported 9.3% growth in the three months ended March 31; this includes a 12.9% rise in Trade, Transport and Communication as well as 10.% in Finance and Real Estate.

Today, Morgan Stanley published its 90-page economic analysis, India and China: New Tigers of Asia, Part II. They expect China and India to be the dominant secular growth stories for the next 30 years. This is driven by favorable demographics, by structural reforms and by globalization.

India’s planners and politicians now speak of growth targets exceeding 10%. Analysts, businesspeople, and politicians agree that sustaining such growth rates will require unprecedented investments in infrastructure, similar to those of China. Free access to western media, has made India’s consumers long for the good life much faster than their Chinese counterparts, fueling accelerated consumption, consumer credit, and an upsurge in luxury goods spending.

The world’s most competitive and nimble economy, the United States, has much to gain from India’s aspirations. Whether you sell video games, movies, safety equipment, industrial goods, or computer chips, you should examine the market in India. When China liberalized, only large American companies could afford to deal with the complexities of Asia in the early days. It is different today. Successes with the WTO, better communications, and India’s more transparent capital markets make it possible for every American company regardless of size, to engage with India. Courtesy: AV
