To this I pointed out that India enjoys one of the highest interest rates, if not only a high GDP growth rate. He shrugged this off.....today he is twiddling his thumbs as investors come knocking on the door demanding what has become of their investments and promised returns. Admittedly India has equally been affected by the global flu, but I feel that it has relatively speaking weathered the storm better. Credit largely goes to our conservative regulators, who were wary when it came to opening the doors to foreign investment in the financial services arena.
