INDIA STILL HOT FOR FDI
The US financial crisis has not been able to affect the FDI inflows in India. As per the World Economic Report prepared by United National Conference on Trade & Development (UNCTAD) the problems related to sup- prime crisis and fall out of major financial institutions like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, Lehman Brothers, AIG (American Insurance Group) and many more have disrupted financial markets in US and some European countries. This has created a liquidity crunch in the markets.
