What drives corporate investment?

·The Hindu·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

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.
