evidence: India’s economic growth has been exceptional in recent years. Buoyed by a robust democracy, key structural reforms, private consumption, and a rise in government investment, India has achieved a high macroeconomic stability ranking (with a score of 90 out of 100 and ranked 41 out of 141 economies) in the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Competitiveness Index. In a bid to attract foreign investment, the Indian government has eased foreign direct investment (FDI) restrictions, such as raising foreign equity caps for insurance and defense, leading to significant progress in terms of improving its overall business environment. As a result, the country has jumped 14 places to 63rd position on the World Bank's Doing Business 2020 study. New business reforms have also earned India a place among the world’s top ten improvers for the third consecutive year according to the same study. Junaid Ahmad, World Bank Country Director in India, praised this achievement: "India’s impressive progression in the Doing Business rankings over the past few years is a tremendous achievement, especially for an economy that is as large and complex as India’s. Special focus given by the top leadership of the country, and the persistent efforts made to drive the business reforms agenda, not only at the central level but also at the state level, helped India make significant improvements."
