Brittas Criticizes Centre Over Net FDI Decline Following

Brittas Criticizes Centre Over Net FDI Decline Following

John Brittas, a member of parliament, said that the amount of money foreign companies keep in India has dropped a lot, from almost 28 billion dollars to less than 1 billion.

He pointed out that investors have taken back about 180 billion dollars.

The government says this is because investors are pulling out money and sending it abroad.

A finance minister said the net money coming in has gone up again to about 7 billion dollars.

Even though the net money is lower, India still got a record 95 billion dollars in total foreign investment.

The government also says it is doing things to keep prices low for people.

Brittas thinks the government is hiding the real problem by only looking at the total money coming in.

The government says the money is still good because it shows India is a good place to invest.

The debate shows how different people look at the same numbers in different ways.
