Talking about India’s capability of exports, Additional Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) S C Aggarwal said a robust and easy trade finance ecosystem is important for India to achieve the $2 trillion exports target by 2030. He added that easy availability of affordable trade finance helps promote export competitiveness.
He also said that traders and the government have to work on issues like obtaining easy finance both for domestic and cross-border trade. India has set an ambitious target to take its total goods and services exports to $2 trillion by 2030.
