India to engage with new USTR for fresh trade package: Goyal

18 Feb 2021 Evaluate

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that India will engage with the new United States Trade Representative (USTR) for a fresh trade package as both the countries would have to look afresh at different ideas. He said India and the US will have to see how their engagement in the future can address some of the problems they have seen in the past and prepare both the countries to meet the needs of their people. The remarks assume significance as both the countries were negotiating a mini-trade deal.

Goyal has stated that India is looking forward to work ‘very’ closely with the new US administration to strengthen economic ties. However, he said ‘we need to further our trade and economic engagement with greater degree of flexibility on both sides and with an open mind and open heart, understanding each others' imperatives, sensitivities’. He pointed out that trade between India and the US has grown exponentially, but still there is a lot to be desired and both sides would continue to engage to achieve $500 billion trade target.

Talking on reform measures announced in India, the minister said one specific ask of the US to increase the foreign direct investment FDI limit in insurance has been accepted. He said ‘we shall now have 74 per cent FDI permitted through the automatic route in insurance. I do hope we will see some fresh capital coming in and not people just selling old stakes and upping the foreign investor stakes. Because the purpose of increasing the cap was to help the insurance companies grow in India’.
