Economic fallout from India tensions still unclear: Expert
BNN Bloomberg
As Canada’s relationship with India deteriorates politically, an international governance expert suggests it’s still too early to speculate how the fallout could hurt either country’s economy – though the flow of Indian students to Canada could be affected.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged the Indian government had a hand in the murder of a Sikh separatist leader living in Canada, a claim Indian leader Narendra Modi subsequently called “absurd.” Both countries have expelled one of the other’s diplomats, trade discussions have halted and India has asked citizens to take caution when travelling to Canada.
Rohinton Medhora, a distinguished fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, said it’s unclear how these latest developments might impact Canada’s economy.
“A lot depends on how each country’s government handles the public relations and strategic side of this,” he told BNN Bloomberg Tuesday.
