Inquiry into Western Australia's economic relationship with the Republic of India
Economics and Industry Standing Committee (2017 - 2021)· 19 November 2020inquiry_report
A WA parliamentary committee investigated the state's economic relationship with India, finding it lacks diversity and hasn't kept pace with other states. The report recommends a long-term, strategic approach, diversification beyond resources, and leveraging the Indian diaspora. COVID-19 has complicated the situation, requiring a 'charm offensive' to attract Indian trade and investment.
Impact
WA businesses, particularly in education, tourism, mining, energy, and agriculture, could benefit from increased trade and investment with India. The WA government needs to take a more proactive and strategic approach. The Indian diaspora in WA could play a key role.
