In this assignment, I will be investigating India’s and China’s background and comparing their economies to develop an understanding of their position in the world economy and how it was achieved. In addition, I will be looking at the differences in their economic growth as well as problems both countries may encounter as they try to become the world’s leading economies. My assignment will be supported by books such as The Business Environment by Ian Worthington and Chris Britton as well as the internet. The key indicators which affect the economy are growth, population and gross domestic product
