The United States Counsel General in Kolkata, Beth Payne feels that West Bengal has just been discovered by the US investors and is being monitored for its political situation by the investors.

According to her, the overall factors for investment in West Bengal are positive.

She disclosed it on Tuesday at the interactive session at the Indian Chamber of Commerce.

Payne reported, “Strikes and bandhs are an internal matter of the state but West Bengal has a pro-investment environment. The state government has demonstrated its investor- friendly policies by taking pro-active steps to make the state an attractive destination for investors.”

To add more she also informed, “Because of the government’s initiative, Frito-lay is helping thousands of potato farmers in West Bengal. The state’s warm welcome has enabled American investors to invest here in steel, IT, clean energy and agri-business.”

According to her, the ongoing economic transformation in India has ensured the investment to flow in the nation and has been received and welcomed really positively by the US investors.
