Highlights of the Year 2018 - 19 16 AMCHAM Chairperson’s Message In the past year, there has been a convergence of views between U.S. and India, not only on global issues but also in their financial vision as both the countries are natural allies and partners in progress. In 2018 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) affirmed that India’s economy grew at the rate of 7.1 percent and that it will rise to 7.3 percent in 2019 reinforced by the constant recovery of investment and vigorous consumption, therefore, being the fastest growing major economy of the world. Following India’s economic reforms, the FDI from U.S.-based companies have exceeded $60 billion. In 2018, India saw one of the biggest strategic developments in the U.S.-India defense relationship. The 2+2 Dialogue was held for the first time with the Foreign and Defence Ministers, with talks committing to “strengthen defence ties further and promote better defence and security coordination and cooperation.” COMCASA, the Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement, was finalized to enable greater interoperability between the two countries, thereby enhancing intelligence and information sharing. Both countries shared a vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific. The energy sector also saw growth with the launch of the Strategic Energy Partnership and U.S.-sourced oil and liquefied natural gas landed on Indian shores.
