Swedes Consider Business Climate in India as Favorable

Swedes Consider Business Climate in India as Favorable

The embassy of Sweden in India and the Swedish Chamber of Commerce released the 9th edition of their Business Climate Survey report for India, wherein 65 percent (a massive jump from the only 15 percent in 2013) of Swedish multinationals put India as a favorable destination to do business. This survey reflects the views of some of the biggest Swedish companies such as  Ericsson, IKEA, Volvo,  Scania, and Electrolux .•

NDTV reports that among the 160 of the 170 companies in India that took part in the survey, 64 percent of them claimed to be satisfied to be doing business in India; 80 per cent of the companies claimed they would be going ahead with their India investment plan as usual. “There are some challenges as well like the bureaucracy. Companies find it difficult to get licenses easily,” Anne Linde, Minister for EU Affairs and Trade, told the publication.
