EventsCOMING UP The Rise of China and India: Opportunity or threat for the German economy? Public Panel Discussion at the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Berlin, September 23, 2008 In the past years, India and China have risen to global economic powers. Their dynamic economies achieved high growth rates during several years. Thus, both countries have increased their share in world trade considerably, Moreover, with huge foreign currency reserves and active investment policies, the new Asian economic powers have gained considerable influence in the international finance and currency relations. Last but not least does this success in development involve a clear reduction of poverty in China and India, yet their economic rise increasingly alarms the established industrial countries. India and China are being perceived as rivals in the competition on sharing the global prosperity, sometimes even as a threat due to their sheer size.
