India Rises to Second Most Preferred Global Investment Destination in PwC CEO Survey

According to PwC's 29th Annual Global CEO Survey released at Davos 2026, India has risen to become the second-most preferred destination for global investment, tied with Germany and the UK, and behind only the US. Thirteen percent of global CEOs plan to increase investments in India, up from 7% last year. Indian CEOs are notably optimistic, with 77% expecting economic growth and 57% confident in near-term revenue gains, despite concerns over macroeconomic volatility, cyber risks, and rapid technological changes, especially AI. While global CEO confidence has softened amid geopolitical and economic uncertainties, India’s large domestic market, policy reforms, and expanding technology sector contribute to its growing appeal as a stable investment hub.
