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. [...] 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." [...] India has a large and healthy middle class, making it an attractive consumer market. Indeed, India is the world’s largest market for manufactured goods and services, and ranks number 3 out of 141 economies for market size according to the WEF’s Global Competitiveness Index.
