From the period 2000- March 2020, The Netherlands has invested a total of USD 33.85 billion and is the fourth largest investor in India. In 2017-2018, Netherlands emerged as the third-largest investor in India. This is mainly because the Dutch considers India as a ‘priority country’ for economic engagement.

To understand the challenges the Dutch countries face in India and to also know their success stories, The Free Press Journal and SIES in association with Invest India are organizing a webinar series ‘Financing India- focus country is Netherlands’ on December 10, 2020, 3.30 onwards.

The panelists for the last session of the ‘Financing India’ webinar series (in alphabetical order) are Vikas Chaturvedi, CEO, Valuecent Consultancy; Preet Dhupar, CFO, IKEA India; Victor Eveleens, Partner / Director Trade (Technology & Performance Materials), NXT Group of Companies; and Bart de Jong, Consul General of the Netherlands in Mumbai. As per DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) data, due to a sudden spike in investments from the United States and Cayman Islands (April-September 2020), the Netherlands has become the fifth largest investor. But the country's investment in India has been growing.

According to UNCTAD's 2020 World Investment Report, the Netherlands itself attracted USD 114 billion investment and was the third-largest FDI recipient economy in 2018. Whereas India, in 2018, attracted USD 42 billion and was the 12th largest FDI recipient economy in the world. While the Netherlands’ FDI outflow witnessed a decline in 2018, the country continued to maintain its investment levels in India, maybe invested more.
