Emphasizing the necessity to revitalize the economic growth of the nation, the President Pranab Mukherjee has urged exporters to focus on developing new export markets in the emerging and developing countries where rate of growth in the medium term will be comparatively better than in the developed nations. He pointed out that the nation had achieved better financial growth during 2003-04 to 2007-08, with the backing from diversified export markets of Asia and Africa.

He further emphasized the need to have quality consciousness, service delivery and complete transparency; he advised exporters to maintain high quality of their products as it will reflect not only the image of their company or their brand, but also the image of India as a source of top quality products. He noted that as part of globalization, Euro-zone crisis has caused lower financial growth in India also, like any other nation leaving it with worsening business sentiments, trimmed down investments and exchange rates, volatile stock market and attendant implications for investor confidence.

The slowdown in external demand has led to significant deceleration in the growth of exports, with the outward shipments showing a negative growth since May 2012.He also proposed FIEO and other business organizations along with the Government should aid in exploring new markets and suggested more interactive and coordinated approach to be maintained to ensure high export intensity to improve the current low penetration in overseas markets.
