PM Modi a very good manager of economy: Fareed Zakaria

In this edition of Davos Brainstorm, watch as geopolitical expert Fareed Zakaria decodes the shifting global order under Donald Trump’s presidency. Zakaria argues that Trump is reorienting American foreign policy by challenging traditional alliances with Europe, India, Japan, and South Korea. The discussion examines the 'Donro Doctrine' and the potential for a volatile 'post-American world' that may benefit China. For India, Zakaria emphasises the necessity of maintaining a long-term partnership with the United States to advance up the technological value chain while focusing on internal economic modernisation. He adds that India has been doing extremely impressively economically and Modi has been a very good manager of the economy in most ways.

The programme also features Guan Xin of CGTN, who reports on China’s $1.2 trillion trade surplus despite ongoing tariff wars. Additionally, Indian industry leaders Rajan Mittal and Anand Goenka provide perspectives on India’s economic fundamentals amidst global market volatility.
