India boosts foreign investment limit to US$75b

In hopes of buoying the rocketing current account deficit.

According to BBVA Research, in their latest bid to attract capital inflows to help finance the high current account deficit and arrest further rupee weakness, the Indian authorities last Friday raised the foreign institutional investor (FII) limits on government securities and corporate bonds.

"The raise is by USD 5bn each (to US$75bn) (only long-term investors such as sovereign funds, insurance funds, pension funds and central banks are allowed to invest). The government is also currently mulling over whether to further liberalize external commercial borrowings for Indian companies," BBVA added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
