Indian exporters made further inroads in European and Latin American nations in 2023, registering healthy growth in countries such as Romania, Montenegro, Austria, and Guatemala, an official said on Friday.
“India’s export trade expansion has been impressive inspite of global challenges in 2023,” the official said.
India’s merchandise exports have recorded healthy growth in European nations like Romania, Czech Republic, Montenegro, Finland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Luxemburg, Iceland, Ireland, and Austria.
“The growth points towards India’s trade resilience and growth despite prevailing uncertainties and deceleration of the economies in Europe,” the official added.
Similarly, in Latin American countries, India’s exports registered high growth in 2023 in Cuba, Uruguay, Paraguay, Guyana, Peru, Mexico, and Guatemala.
“With continued social unrest, oil production cuts and tight policy settings, the growth of Middle-Eastern countries has weakened. However, India’s merchandise export growth to major Middle-Eastern countries remains positive,” the official said.
The increased merchandise exports to Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE in 2023 underscores India’s ability to navigate adverse economic conditions and capitalise on export opportunities.
