KEY POINTS
· India’s exports have never really lived up to their potential because it is simply not competitive enough.
· India’s exports crawled between 2011 and 2019, while neighbouring Bangladesh’s were galloping.
· In the apparels space, for instance, where we have a distinct edge, southern and southeastern Asian nations like Vietnam and Bangladesh are now strong competitors.
· They’ve been smart to come up with better labour and land policies, ensuring the business environment is friendly.
· In India, infrastructure remains hopelessly inadequate, labour policies are rigid, and it is still not quite easy to do business.
· The biggest problem, though, is the approach of our policymakers who would rather look inwards and stay protectionist.
· India has opted out of global trade pacts, most recently, the 15-nation RCEP.
· India’s high GDP growth in the past has been directly related to exports growth and not so much to local consumption.
· In FY16 and FY17, exports crashed to $262 billion and $276 billion, respectively, from above $300 billion the previous three years, regaining momentum on this very low base in the subsequent three years.
