In its latest global trade update, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has said that India's export growth saw a decline of 6.1 per cent in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to third quarter of last year. However, it said that India recorded export growth of four per cent in September.
The report further said that global trade recorded a 5 per cent drop in the third quarter of 2020 compared with the same period last year. This marks an improvement on the 19 per cent year-on-year plunge recorded in the second quarter, and the UNCTAD expects the frail recovery to continue in the fourth quarter.
Depending on how the COVID-19 pandemic evolves in the winter months, the UN trade and development body expects the value of global trade to contract by 7 per cent to 9 per cent with respect to 2019.
