What drives corporate investment?

Corporate investment as a share of GDP in India has declined sharply since demonetisation. This decline persists despite tax cuts and a low-interest-rate regime. The situation is particularly challenging for smaller firms, which face higher interest costs, while larger firms are more constrained by demand. The decline in corporate investment is a significant concern for the economy, as it can lead to reduced economic growth and lower job creation.

Why it matters

Corporate investment in India has fallen since demonetisation. Low interest rates and tax cuts have not reversed this trend.
