Singapore– Prominent wealth funds of Singapore have shown keen interest in investing in India, a senior Indian official said on Friday.
“Lot of interest and deep appreciation in Singapore about reforms and policy initiatives in India,” Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said in a tweet about his ongoing visit to Singapore.
Describing his meeting with Singapore government-owned wealth funds, Das said in another tweet: “Had very good meetings with GIC, Temasek and other investors in Singapore. Big interest to invest in India continues.”
