The reversal of the trends in the export growth during 1990-91, and thereafter, required a massive export thrust. Since July 1991 the Government of India initiated the process of economic reforms aimed at globalization and liberalization of Indian economy. A number of policy changes were announced leading to the declaration of the Export-Import Policy 1992-97. This policy brought about all round liberalization of exports and imports Besides, under the Liberalized Exchange Rate Management System (introduced as a result of the simplification of the foreign exchange law and procedures), the entire amount of export proceeds can now be converted into Indian rupees at the market determined rate of exchange.
The year 1998-99 was the worst year for India’s exports with exports recording a negative rate of growth of 3.9%. The decline in exports was caused mainly due to recession in global trade, fall in prices in the international market, infrastructural bottlenecks, introduction of strict sanitary and phyto-sanitary standards by developed countries and so on. This trend continued and exports recorded the growth rate of 11% for the year 1999-2000 followed by 20% for year 2000-2001. However, the export performance for the year 2001-02 was very disappointing as the growth in exports was meager at 0.6% over the same period in the previous year. a renewed attempt by the Export-Import Policy 2002-07 to promote exports so as to increase India’s exports from the level of USD 44.56 bn. (2000-01) to USD 88 bn. by the end of 2006-07 to achieve 1% share of the global merchandise trade
Most nations publish their balance of payments figures monthly, quarterly and annually. The accounts themselves show the structure of a nation’s external trade, its net position as an international lender or borrower, and trends in the direction of its economic relationships with the rest of the world. The balance of payments on current account shows the income and expenditure for purchase of current goods and services. It records the current position of the country in the transfer of goods, services, and merchandise as well as invisible items, donations, unilateral transfers, etc. It shows the country’s financial position in the international scenario, the extent of accumulated foreign exchange reserves, foreign assets and liabilities and the impact of current transactions are included in the capital account in order to find out the exact foreign exchange reserve. The capital account provides relief to deteriorating balance of payments positions
The challenge before the emerging market economies is to leverage foreign savings to promote domestic growth without having the long-term consequences of external payment imbalances. However, current account deficits, per se, need not necessarily enhance the productive capacity and thus overall GDP growth. This would depend on underlying component factors leading to the current account deficit. The distinction between gross capital inflow and net inflow is useful. As the latter must equal the CAD, there is no way in which net use of foreign savings can increase without an increase in the CAD.
The current account, after being in surplus during 2001-02 to 2003-04, reverted to a deficit in 2004-05. This was despite a robust growth in net invisible account fuelled by software exports and private transfers. The current account deficit (CAD) is attributed to the widening trade deficit, driven primarily by the rise in international prices of petroleum products and gold. They reached a high of 5.1 per cent of GDP in 2006-07 after a somewhat modest growth rate of 3.1 per cent in 2005-06. The net result of these two trends has been a gradual rise in reserve increase to reach 4 per cent of GDP in 2006-07. The most welcome feature was the rise in gross foreign direct investment inflows of US $ 23.0 billion in 2006-07. With FDI outflows also increasing steadily over the last five years, overall net flows moderated. Portfolio investment in the first half of 2006-07 was lower in comparison because of the initial slump in equity markets
Share of engineering goods and petro products has increased by 7.6 percentage points and 10.7 percentage points, respectively. The share of primary products has declined somewhat with the decline in share of exports from agricultural and allied sector being partly offset by a rise in the share of ores and minerals by 2.8 percentage points. The share of chemicals, including petrochemicals, has increased marginally. The share of petroleum crude and products has risen further to 18 per cent in the first half of 2007-08 from 15 per cent in 2006-07. Engineering goods’ share also maintained a rising trend in 2007-08 . The perceptible increase in the share of petroleum products in total exports reflected not only the rise in POL prices but also India’s enhanced refining capacity.
The share of capital goods imports shows the sharpest rise of about 4.9 percentage points in 2006-07 over 2000-01 due to a 3-7 percentage point rise in the share of transport equipment and 1.6 percentage point rise in the share on non-electrical machinery (excluding machine tools). It, however, increased to 13 per cent in the first half of 2007-08. Imports of gold and silver have been at around 8 per cent, though it has increased to 10 per cent in the first half of 2007-08. Share of electronic goods imports has increased to 9 per cent, while food and allied imports show a marginal fall in share due to the fall in the share of edible oils, though import of cereals has shot up in 2006-07 from a negligible level.
With rising POL prices, and India’s rising exports of refined POL products, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia have emerged as the third and fourth largest trading partners of India. With rising POL prices, and India’s rising exports of refined POL products, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia have emerged as the third and fourth largest trading partners of India. There is a perceptible change in the share of India’s trade with Iran and Nigeria (due to rise in import of mineral fuel and oil, etc.) and Australia (due to rise in import of precious stones, metals, mineral fuel and oil, and ores), while the share of Singapore after increasing in some years has moderated. The largest trade deficits are with Saudi Arabia, China and Switzerland. The trade deficit with China has increased further in April-September 2007.
In terms of export destination, the United States continued to be the principal destination accounting for 14.9 per cent of India’s total exports in 2006-07. India’s merchandise exports to South Asian countries increased by 16.6 per cent in 2006-07 compared to the 20.5 per cent growth in 2005-06. Growth in exports to Iran, Saudi Arabia, Belgium and Japan was good. In recent years, India witnessed a major change in its direction of trade in general and with China in particular. India’s export to China, in US dollar terms, was growing at the rate of 20.4 per cent and 22.7 per cent for the years 2005-06 and 2006-07, respectively
In 2006-07, Asia and ASEAN continued to be the major source of India’s imports accounting for 57.5 per cent of total imports. Country-wise, imports from China recorded high growth of 60.1 per cent over and above the 53.1 per cent growth in the previous year. share of iron and steel increased from 0.8 per cent to 8.5 per cent for the same period, while the share of electronic goods, organic chemicals and inorganic chemicals are declining.
Energy shortages, inadequate and unreliable transport and communication facilities are the major problems which hinder the growth of India’s exports. The interest, the exporters are paying on export finance in India is comparatively higher than other countries. “Made in India” is considered a sign of poor quality in overseas markets. Indian exporters do not care much about the quality of their goods. Indian exporters are often regarded as unreliable in respect of their commitment for timely shipment, quality, after-sale service, In India the exporters are unable to obtain latest trade information because of lack of proper facilities of communication. No doubt, of late some progress in the field of Electronic Data Interchange has been made, but it does not cover each and every field relating to export.
