Germany seeks to strengthen business ties with India to reduce reliance on China
Summary: Germany is shifting its focus to India to reduce reliance on China. Chancellor Olaf Scholz will lead a delegation to discuss increasing business ties, as the German economy faces challenges and depends heavily on Chinese demand.
German Economy Minister Robert Habeck emphasized India's importance in diversifying the economy and strengthening supply chains. In 2022, German direct investments in India were about €25 billion, only 20% of investments in China.
While India offers significant market potential, challenges like bureaucracy and corruption may hinder German companies from fully capitalizing on opportunities there.
