Export orientated sectors may get priority lending status soon: FIEO President

26 Nov 2013 Evaluate

Rafeeque Ahmed, the president of the Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO), has said that high export orientated sectors may soon get the priority sector lending status from the lenders. The FIEO’s president has added that they have requested the government to fix at least 5% in the current priority sector cap of 40% for exports and the discussions between the finance ministry and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on the issue are now at an advanced stage. 

The FIEO’s move is aimed to ensure credit flows to the exports sector by compelling banks to lend to exporters with priority sector lending status. Furthermore, a high-level committee of exporters led by FIEO is planning to meet the RBI Governor this month-end to discuss the priority sector lending issue. Indian exports increased by double-digit growth at 13.47% for the fourth consecutive month to $27.27 billion in October on the back reviving demand in the US and European markets. Further, emerging markets such as Latin America and others are also providing big opportunities for country’s exports. The depreciation in rupee value has improved competitiveness of domestic exporters.

Rafeeque Ahmed said the Indian merchandise exports during the second half were expected to see a growth of 12-15%. Meanwhile, the government has set a target of $325 billion exports for current fiscal. Increasing exports of the country also has also augmented expectations for a significant curtailing for India’s current account deficit (CAD), a major macro-economic problem that has created huge volatility in the domestic equities markets and currency.
