Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that the country's services exports are doing extremely well and going by the current trend these outbound shipments would register about 20 per cent growth in this fiscal (FY23) and cross the $300 billion target despite global economic uncertainties.
The minister said that on the merchandise front also, exports are so far registering healthy growth despite the world being under recession, huge inflationary pressure, and overstocking of various commodities. He also said with all these stress, where every global leader is talking of very tough times, India's exports rose 9 per cent year-on-year during April-December 2022-23. He said ‘so all in all, it will be a very satisfying year, given the global headwinds and the stress that is reported from almost every part of the world.’ He added that the government's structural reforms and steps like Make in India and Digital India are yielding fruits.
According to the data of the commerce ministry, the estimated value of services export in April-December 2022 is $235.81 billion as compared to $184.65 billion in the year-ago period. In 2021-22, these exports touched an all-time high of $254 billion. India's exports contracted 12.2 per cent to $34.48 billion in December 2022, mainly due to global headwinds, and the trade deficit widened to $23.76 billion during the same period. The minister said individual months have seen some ups and downs, but overall the exports sector is doing well so far despite global economic uncertainties.
