India’s Exports Grow to $33.28 Billion in Aug

India’s exports rose 45.76 per cent to $33.28 billion in August due to healthy growth in sectors like engineering, petroleum products, gems and jewellery and chemicals. Exports during April-August 2021 advanced by 67.33 per cent to $164.1 billion, the data told. Exports of engineering, petroleum products, gems and jewellery and chemicals expanded by nearly 59 per cent to $9.64 billion, 144.6 per cent to $4.65 billion, 88.3 per cent to $3.43 billion, and 36 per cent to $2.23 billion, respectively.

India sees minimal impact from US trade policies, but risks persist: UBI Report

Dhruva Kulkarni

India’s economy may avoid major fallout from US trade tensions due to its trade balance. Still, the final impact depends on upcoming trade negotiations, according to a Union Bank of India report.

While the economy remains resilient, currency fluctuations and liquidity conditions are being affected, prompting the RBI and government to take steps to maintain stability.

Key exports like automobiles, gems, steel, and pharmaceuticals remain vulnerable to tariff changes and restrictions.

In response to US protectionist policies, India may impose countermeasures, impacting sectors such as steel, solar energy, and food products.

Lower oil prices could support energy-dependent industries, but metal producers face challenges from global price fluctuations and trade uncertainties.

US economic uncertainty, driven by shifting trade policies, has led to weaker growth forecasts and rising inflation.

Market instability continues to affect global trade, with concerns over US recession risks and unpredictable policy decisions.

Taiwan Offers to Help India Cut Trade Deficit with China

Dhruva Kulkarni

Taiwanese Deputy NSA Hsu Szu-Chien emphasised that Taiwan can help India reduce its reliance on Chinese electronic imports, with a free trade pact being key to stronger economic ties.

Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue in Delhi, Hsu highlighted how Taiwan’s technology and India’s young workforce could drive high-end tech production, cutting Chinese imports.

He stressed that India could lower its trade deficit by co-producing electronic components with Taiwan rather than relying on imports.

As a major semiconductor producer, Taiwan manufactures nearly 70% of the world’s chips, essential for AI, smartphones, and defence equipment.

Hsu stated that Taiwan strongly intends to negotiate a trade deal with India, as high tariffs currently hinder investment by small and mid-sized Taiwanese firms.

Despite no formal diplomatic ties, India-Taiwan trade relations are growing, with Taiwanese investment in India exceeding USD 4 billion under the ‘Make in India’ policy.

Dhruva Kulkarni

Union Minister of State for Commerce & Industry and Electronics & Information Technology (IT) Jitin Prasada met Malaysian Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade, and Industry Liew Chin Tong in New Delhi to discuss trade, semiconductor collaboration, and manufacturing certification.

Officials from India’s Ministries of External Affairs, Commerce & Industry, Electronics & IT, and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), along with Malaysia’s Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry, attended the meeting.

Malaysia is India’s third-largest trading partner in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with bilateral trade reaching $20.02 billion in FY 2023-24, accounting for 17% of India’s trade with the bloc.

Both sides agreed to fast-track the ASEAN-India Trade in Goods Agreement (AITIGA) review for completion by 2025, as Malaysia will chair ASEAN that year.

India seeks a country-wise review of AITIGA to address its rising trade deficit with ASEAN, where imports have surged 186% since FY 2010-11, far exceeding export growth.

Indian industries, particularly in steel and electronics, have raised concerns over cheap ASEAN imports, pushing India to seek greater flexibility in trade negotiations.

February Trade Data Shows Sharp Drop in Imports, Indicating Slow Growth

Dhruva Kulkarni

India’s trade deficit for February narrowed to a three-and-a-half-year low of $14.05 billion, with an overall surplus of $5 billion when including services. However, the sharp drop in goods imports raises concerns about a potential slowdown.

Both exports and imports fell, with exports declining 11% to $36.91 billion and imports dropping 16% to $50.96 billion.

The steep fall in imports was driven by lower purchases of petroleum (down 30%), iron & steel (down 23%), transport equipment (down 17%), and gold (down 62%).

Officials attributed the decline to lower commodity prices, but the sharp drop suggests a slowdown, reinforced by weak manufacturing and auto sales.

However, services exports grew 24%, strengthening the rupee, which closed at 86.80/$ on Monday.

Economists now expect a current account surplus of $20 billion for January-March, lowering the full-year deficit forecast to 0.7% of GDP, though US tariffs in April could pose risks.
