US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Tuesday afternoon holds a discussion with chief executive officers and business leaders from India on economic and financial issues.
India has been taking measures to boost revenue, rein in its widening deficit and lift growth in Asia's third-largest economy. Earlier this month, the government mandated more sales of shares by state-run firms and how it can use the proceeds.
Lars Thunell, executive vice president and chief executive of the International Finance Corp, told Reuters in a recent interview that poor infrastructure, regulation and corruption hinder business and economic growth in India but the country is showing a willingness to address shortcomings.
