HONG KONG (CNNMoney) -- Long wary of foreign investment, India has begun to usher in a set of reforms that will allow international corporations to gain a foothold and open up the retail sector in the world's second most populous country. Restrictions on Wal-Mart and other mega-retailers were lifted in September, along with barriers to investment in the aviation and broadcast media industries. A month later, the government proposed increasing the amount of foreign investment allowed in Indian insurance and pension schemes. The reforms are among the most aggressive in decades, yet still require foreign operators to partner with Indian companies. In addition, large retail operators will only be permitted to open stores in the 53 cities with a population greater than one million people. And states retain the right to veto the new initiatives.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
