Economy of India• from the 1950s until the 1980s, India followed socialist-inspired policies. The economy
was shackled by extensive regulation, protectionism, and public ownership, leading to pervasive corruption and slow growth
• Since 1991, the nation has moved towards a market-based system.
• The policy change in 1991 came after an acute balance of payments crisis, and the emphasis since then has been to use foreign trade and foreign investment as integral parts of India's economy.
• With an average annual GDP growth rate of 5.8% for the past two decades, the economy is among the fastest growing in the world.
• It has the world's second largest labour force, with 516.3 million people.
• In terms of output, the agricultural sector accounts for 28% of GDP; the service and industrial sectors make up 54% and 18% respectively.
• A Goldman Sachs report predicts that "from 2007 to 2020, India’s GDP per capita will quadruple," and that the Indian economy will surpass the United States by 2043.
• but India "will remain a low-income country for several decades, with per capita incomes well below its other BRIC peers.

Economy of China(PRC)
• From its founding in 1949 to late 1978, the People's Republic of China was a Soviet-style centrally planned economy.
• Private businesses and capitalism were suppressed. To propel the country towards a modern, industrialized communist society, Mao Zedong instituted the Great Leap Forward. (a major economic failure and a great humanitarian disaster.)
• In 1978, Deng Xiaoping initiated the PRC's market-oriented reforms under one-party rule.
• Collectivization of the agriculture was dismantled and farmlands were privatized to increase productivity.
• A wide variety of small-scale enterprises were allowed to flourish while the government relaxed price controls and promoted foreign investment.
• Foreign trade was focused upon as a major vehicle of growth, which led to the creation of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) first in Shenzhen (near Hong Kong) and then in other Chinese cities

Economy of China continues…
• Since economic liberalization began in 1978, the PRC's investment- and export-led
economy has grown 70 times bigger.
• The primary, secondary, and tertiary industries contributed 11.3%, 48.6%, and 40.1% respectively to the total economy.
• It is a member of the WTO and is the world's third largest trading power behind the US and Germany.
• Its foreign exchange reserves have reached US$1.9 trillion, making it the world's largest.
• The PRC's success has been primarily due to manufacturing as a low-cost producer
• This is attributed to a combination of cheap labor, good infrastructure, medium level of technology and skill, relatively high productivity, favorable government policy, and some say, an undervalued exchange rate.
• yuan having been de-pegged and risen in value by 20% against the US dollar since 2005.
• The state still dominates in strategic "pillar" industries (such as energy and heavy industries), but private enterprise (30 million private businesses) . now accounts for approximately 70% of China's national output, up from 1% in 1978.
• Its stock market in Shanghai (SSE) is raising record amounts of IPOs and its benchmark Shanghai Composite index has doubled since 2005.
• SSE's market capitalization reached US$3 trillion in 2007 and is the world's fifth largest exchange. China now ranks 34th in the Global Competitiveness Index..
• The PRC's growth has been uneven when comparing different geographic regions and rural and urban areas.
• The urban-rural income gap is getting wider in the PRC. Development has also been mainly concentrated in the eastern coastal regions while the remainder of the country are left behind.
• The economy is also highly energy-intensive and inefficient – it uses 20%-100% more energy than OECD countries for many industrial processes.
• It has now become the world's second largest energy consumer behind the US but relies on coal to supply about 70% of its energy needs

Why the difference?
• different saving rates– Currently, China saves nearly half of its GDP,
India saves 28%– Historically, saving rate was also much higher
in China
• Other forces at work, e.g.– China’s industrial policy– India’s over-regulated labour market

Imbalances: China• High savings curtails consumption
– Reliance on investment expansion increased growth volatility
– Diminishing returns misallocation of capital non-performing loans
– Excess capacity deflation
• Insufficient domestic absorption– Reliance on export expansion– Trade disputes incite protectionism in major
export markets
Imbalances: India• Lack of investment funds led to neglect of
infrastructure– High production costs stunted manufacturing sector
will eventually constrain the growth of high-tech centres
• IT and IT-enabled services are skill-intensive, rather than labour-intensive– Jobless growth: rural unemployment and poverty
– Lack of progress in urbanisation

Comparing Indian and China- for investments
• In 1978, per capita incomes in China and India were roughly equal. As a result of a conscious decision to integrate into the world economy, China’s per capita income is more than twice that of India. China, the world’s emerging manufacturing center, saves and invests twice as much as India, is twice as open, attracts nearly ten times the annual FDI flow, and has a substantially smaller budget deficit and larger foreign exchange reserves. And China has done a better job at poverty alleviation .
• As a result of China’s one-child policy, a key question is whether growth will slow to around 6% per annum in roughly ten years and whether India’s total output will exceed China’s in 25 years. Given China’s head start, outward orientation, rate of urbanization (which facilitates economic activity) and dramatically superior infrastructure, such an outcome is unlikely
• But a simple calculation—GDP growth rate divided by investment as a percentage of GDP, suggests that capital is much more efficiently employed in India, given India’s service orientation. The experience of Japan in the 1990s, and indeed the that of Asian tigers (where long-term equity returns have in general been modest in many cases), shows that very low costs of capital and high investment rates can lead to the misallocation of capital. India’s English-speaking heritage, common law traditions and parliamentary system provide a check to both government and
• corporate abuse, and enhance the prospect of obtaining higher long-term equity market returns than in China, even if China remains the more dominant economy.
