Indian exports cross targeted $300 billion mark in FY’12

14 Apr 2012 Evaluate

Indian exports have crossed the targeted $300 billion mark in FY’12 according to the provisional data released by the Trade Minister Anand Sharma. They have grown by 19.7% year-on-year. The success has come in largely due to the initiatives taken to tap newer markets of Latin America and Africa as the traditional markets of USA and Europe saw a dip in demand. The sectors that posted robust growth were engineering, gems and jewellery, textiles, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

Imports, on the hand, remained a cause of worry due to the rise in global prices of crude oil. Imports shot up by 38% and reached to $485 billion for the last fiscal. Oil imports alone amounted to $150 billion in FY’12 while India’s love for bullion made the imports of gold and silver shoot upto $60 billion. Consequently, the trade deficit widened to $185 billion from the previously estimated $160-$170 billion.

Given the economic slowdown, global trade has been decelerating. It saw a sharp fall to a meager 5% in 2011 as compared to the high growth of 13.8% in 2012. WTO economists have cautioned that the global economy will lose further momentum and show a growth of only 3.17% in 2011. Given this India’s exports could suffer. The inelastic oil import bill could pose further problems.
