FDI Inflow From Sweden

Imports mainly comprise of electrical machineries, nuclear reactors & boilers and optical & surgical items. Aggregate FDI inflow from Sweden to India during the period 1991 to May 2006 stands at a lowly $472.24 million. No doubts, the growth potential in areas like e-commerce, IT enabled services, Biotics, telecommunications, wireless & cellular telephony and infotainment et al needs to be exploited. Sighting a reason for the same, Leif Pagrotsky, Minister of Trade and Industry, Sweden explains, “Swedish companies are still hesitant in investing because of bureaucratic bottlenecks and relatively poor infrastructure support in India.” Many Swedish MNCs like Ericsson, Telia, Volvo, Skandia, Electrolux, Microsoft Mobile, Vattenfall, ABB et al are flourishing in India.

Italian Banks Consolidations

Without any doubt, domestic consolidations will make Italian banks bigger, but the question is, can these newly formed bigger entities match dynamism and competitiveness of the foreign banks? The answer can be read in the words of the Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi (left top), who comments, “Instead of always being the ‘prey,’ I’d like, once in a while, to also be the predator.” That signifies what Italian banking system is up to – creation of giants that can not only defy foreign banks from invading Italy, but also acquire non-Italian banks. The proposed merger will not only create the largest bank of Italy, but also the ninth largest in Europe (in terms of Tier I capital), with a stock market value of around $83 billion!

JAPAN ROPES IN SUPER SIXTEEN

Officials hailing from the land of the rising sun have come up with a proposal to configure a 16-nation free-trade bloc comprising of China, South Korea, Australia, India, New Zealand and the 10-nation Southeast Asian bloc. Last year, the same 16 had created the East Asia Summit, which was perceived as a forerunner to the formation of a giant free-trade alliance, engulfing almost half of the world’s populace. Japan entered its first ever FTA with Singapore in 2002 and also coordinated well worked deals with Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines. Meanwhile, Australia and New Zealand have also expressed their willingness to be a part of such a bloc. The advocates of the plan, however, admit that turning it into reality will take a long time.

'Go"ing Fida!

The ad hasn’t been a hit purely amidst the ad-frat – potential buyers are also flocking to showrooms! Mohan gushes, ince the day Ford Fiesta was launched, the company has been getting excellent response and regarding the reaction to the campaign, the showrooms were exactly like movie theatres on the first day of show. But, it’s not just about the campaign, but the car as well!” Be it the concept, Chote Sarkar’s suave appeal, the product, or a blend of the three, the writing is on the wall (and in bold!): Audiences are ‘Go’ing Fida!

Scooters!

With a series of automatic scooters in the offing, beginning with the freshly-launched motoscooter, to be succeeded by a second vehicle which, in Sulajja’s reckoning, “will redefine the executive way of driving scooters with its Italian style and never-seen-before lighting system”, Kinetic’s future looks extremely exciting! Innovation is clearly the lifeblood at Kinetic today, and Sulajja reiterates her commitment to the cause, “In Kinetic there is a great legacy in terms of reputation, and now we are positioning Kinetic in a new light for the new India.”

SHOP TILL YOU DROP

When was the last time you sauntered across the road in front of your house to a Wal-Mart to buy a pair of sneakers? And then ambled a block away to a Target supermall to grab grocery for home? And then scampered a block further to the Macy’s superstore to buy a set of Chanel’s topline perfumes? Let me guess the answer... Never! But hey, this dreamy vision just might come true, right here in India, where a retail boom is sweeping across with astounding velocity. The retail industry has been estimated to be around Rs.90,000 crores – which, according to some, seems a very conservative estimate! India seems to represent the most compelling international investment opportunity. According to A.T. Kearney’s 2005 Global Retail Development Index (GRDI) India moved from the second place to the first, displacing Russia as the top hot spot for investing in retail.

In 2006 too, India retained its top spot in the index. If things go as planned, then organized retailing in India has the potential of creating over 2 million new (direct) jobs within the next six years. The market is surely bursting with growth potential, and retailers are queuing up to grab a portion of the retail pie. So while luxury retail chains like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior & the new entrant Versace have gingerly placed their feet on Indian shores, vast numbers of others are waiting in the wings; in fact, the likes of Gucci, Armani, Jimmy Choo, Tumi Luggege are just starting to unfold their plans.
