The bar graph illustrates the changing level of outside investment in the economies of India and China between 2014 and 2019.
In general, the capital expenditure in China declined throughout the period, while that in India fluctuated. Despite this, the amount of money flowing into China was apparently higher than that into India.
The Chinese economy received just below $80 billion in 2014, which fell to around 60% for the subsequent two years. After a slight decrease to approximately $50 billion in 2017, China experienced a massive resurgence to a high point of over $100 billion in 2018 but then receded back to 2017 level in 2019.
In 2014, foreign outlay into India, on the other hand, reached just over $20 billion, before rocketing to above $60 billion in 2015 and 2016. Despite the marked rise, it then nosedived to a little over $20 billion in 2017. There was another dramatic increase to just below $60 billion, before falling back to around $20 billion in 2019. 2015 was the only year that India’s level of foreign investment exceeded China’s, with values of slightly more than $60 billion and roughly less than $60 billion, respectively.
