The largest potential for investments in India lies in its need for infrastructure development to continue the country’s rapid growth.

With the world’s fourth largest population, Indonesia has Southeast Asia’s largest economy and its economy is predicted to grow by 8 percent in 2011.

United States exports to Vietnam are continuing to increase each year with a 19.8 percent growth in 2010.
