India: Too big to ignore

Date Uploaded: August 20 2024 08:30


The Indian economy is slowly but surely becoming too big to ignore. While still small relative to the economic superpowers of the US and China, it is growing rapidly. Given its growing importance in the global economy, this note explores the Indian economy in more detail. The first half of this research note unpacks the structure of the Indian economy and describes how it has fared over recent years and, more importantly, what is expected to happen in the coming years. In the second half, we look at the relationship between South Africa and India, focusing mainly on trade, investment, and tourism linkages.
