Global trade slowdown is far worse than projected and the trend is leading to greater protectionism, writes FICCI president.
If you are concerned with slowdown in world trade, think again. It is indeed far worse than what we commonly believe. As the July-report of ‘Global Trade Alert’ pointed out, world trade is not just slowing down – the fact is it has not grown at all since January 2015. Such a prolonged phase of ‘no growth’ in global trade is worrisome and expectedly, it is accompanied by a spurt in protectionism.

A senior academic with expertise in international trade agreements explains why India and the US still have much ground to cover in terms of trade ties.
Notwithstanding their geo-strategic bonhomie, India and the US remain far apart on international trade. The distance arises from their inabilities to reconcile to a bilateral trade relationship simultaneously accommodating both of their major sources of distinct global comparative advantages. These advantages for the US are in export of intellectual property (IP) – intensive goods and services such as pharmaceuticals and entertainment and education products – whereas for India, they are in...

To say that the UK’s vote to leave the EU has ushered in a period of “uncertainty” would be something of an under-statement.
Even though the UK voted decisively to leave the EU, there is no consensus on what Brexit means in practice. On the one hand, a few politicians, along with much of the press, are celebrating the UK’s new freedom to pursue trade deals with fast-growing emerging economies such as China and India, for now this freedom is...

I’m reminded of a famous line from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, which says: “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.”
We are now riding such a tide. Global economic flux and political uncertainty means world leaders need to figure out new relationships, new opportunities and reset the rules of engagement for a more connected and less secure than before world, where unprecedented migration and the movement of people for safety or for work is leading to anxiety.
These issues need to be...
