Germany seeks to strengthen economic ties with India to reduce reliance on China
Summary: Chancellor Olaf Scholz is leading a delegation to India this week, aiming to strengthen economic ties and reduce Germany's reliance on China. This visit comes as Germany faces economic challenges and seeks to diversify its supply chains.
German companies are optimistic about India's growth potential, citing a skilled workforce and a growing economy. In 2022, German investments in India were about 25 billion euros, significantly less than in China, but this could rise to 40% by 2030.
Despite challenges like bureaucracy and tax issues, many German firms plan to increase investments in India. Trade between Germany and India reached a record high in 2023, as India is expected to become the world's third-largest economy by the end of the decade.
