Speakers at a webinar identified lack of diversification in investment as a key challenge in boosting foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country.
The speakers stressed on the need for policy measures to diversify investment by identifying three/four key sectors to focus on, and by taking measures to incentivise technological development and positive FDI spillover. However, they said incentives alone will not guarantee greater FDI inflow and will not ensure positive spillover, if ample transport connectivity, trade connectivity and logistical connectivity are not in place alongside incentives. The speakers came with the observations at the virtual dialogue organised by Youth Policy Forum (YPF).
