单选题 "India is affected by the global financial crisis,"
says Stuart Fraser, the chairman of the policy committee of the City of London
Corporation. "But there is restrained optimism for the longer term. Emerging
economies such as India's are modernising very fast. Cities are growing and
millions of people are becoming more prosperous."
Infrastructure projects, backed by government funding, now hold some of the
greatest appeal. Investors have also been cheered by a relaxation of some of the
complicated rules governing foreign investment. This could open up prized
sectors such as retail and airlines. But opportunities in heavily regulated
financial and professional service sectors, including law and accounting, remain
meager. "We welcome a little easing [of regulation]. But we
don't expect any large steps," says Mr Fraser. The company
behind one of the largest foreign investments in India is bullish about the
economy's prospects. Vodafone bought a controlling stake in Hutchison Essar, a
mobile operator, for £5.7bn in 2007. "India seems to be a bit
more {{U}}sheltered{{/U}} than other markets," says Vittorio Colao, Vodafone chief
executive. "In the financial sector the contagion has not arrived. There is
probably some slowdown in the business process outsourcing business, but not a
massive one." India has faced challenges on other fronts. A
terror attack struck at the heart of Mumbai, the country's financial capital, in
November. One of the leading IT outsourcing companies, Satyam, revealed a
massive fraud earlier this year. But these events have not made
multinational companies less convinced about India's potential.
"The Satyam allegations have raised inevitable questions about corporate
governance but do not appear to be representative of the sophisticated and
mature business environment in which major corporates operate in India today,"
says Guy Douglas, a Delhi-based executive with BAE Systems, the defence
contractor. In the past, investors have viewed emerging markets
mostly as low-cost production bases, but in today's tough economic environment
countries such as Vietnam—which has a population of about 85m—are coming to be
seen as potential consumer markets, writes Tim Johnston. "There
are going to be two main value drivers in the current market: cost of
production—Vietnam is increasingly on the radar for outsourcing, such as
relocating factories from elsewhere in Asia—and for multinationals looking for a
growth market," says Warrick Cleine, managing partner in Vietnam for KPMG, the
professional services group. Few of Asia's export-dependent
emerging economies have fared well as the downturn strangles demand in their
most important markets, but Vietnam has come out fighting. It has stressed its
low-cost production base, well-educated workforce and political
stability. There is anecdotal evidence that manufacturers are
moving facilities to Vietnam from other parts of Asia: they say it is cheaper
than China, more productive than some of its regional competitors, further down
the development curve, and seemingly stable within the political boundaries set
by the government. The authorities have worked hard to erase
the impression of being{{U}} the wild eastern frontier{{/U}} of capitalism.
Regulations have been streamlined; there has been a crackdown on corruption;
infrastructure has improved—to a certain extent—and legal protection for
investors is tighter.

单选题ADVERTISING FEATURE Save money and keep your staff happy It can be expensive to keep the canteen open to serve drinks to your staff through the day. Our QVM hot drinks machine replaces this service, so that you can close the canteen between mealtimes. You can install the QVM hot drinks machine anywhere in the building. One machine is suitable for a staff of ten to fifteen people. It costs £1300 buy, or £11.00 per week to rent over 60 months. It is not expensive to operate: for example, the cost of power for one day is 30p, nearly as cheap as the price of one hot drink from the machine. Our company will carry out a weekly service, at a charge of £10.00. We can also refill the machine with drinks ingredients for an extra charge of £8.00. Some customers prefer to do this themselves, however. There are eight choices of hot drink available from the QVM machine, and our company offers one month's trial free of charge, so that you can estimate how popular the machine will be and see what the actual savings are.
