The Sovereign Funds have invested around USD 14.8 billion in India. Year to date (YTD) refers to the period beginning from the first day of the current calendar year or fiscal year up to the current date. YTD information is useful to analyse business trends over time or comparing performance data to competitors or peers in the same industry. 

Chaturvedi said that this trend reversal happened after 2019. The situation was entirely different prior to this, he added. 

In 2015, while the Sovereign funds invested around USD 21.80 billion in China, they invested just around USD 4.2 billion in India. This has changed since the onset of 2019. In 2019, the sovereign fund investment in China was around USD 6.4 billion while it was around USD 10.10 billion in India. 

He said that there is a clear trend reversal seen here.
