LONDON: Commerce and industry minister Kamal Nath has been chosen global FDI Personality of the Year 2007 by a global business publication, earlier won by Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva and Mexican President Vincente Fox.

“The award is in recognition of your active efforts to attract foreign businesses to India, boost exports and promote trade and investment — the results of which have been a substantial increase in FDI inflows to India and rise in export volumes last year,” the citation said. The country’s exports have almost doubled to Rs 5,63,800 crore during 2006-07 from Rs 2,93,367 crore in 2003-04, growing at average annual rate of 25% in the last three years.
