Programme Details:
On 28th September 2021, Hon. Commerce Minister Mr. Piyush Goel has extended the current Foreign Trade Policy up to 31.03.2022. He has said that we have an ambitious export target of $400 Billion for the year 2021-2022. Needless to say, whether new policy is introduced or old policy continues, we have to learn critical aspects of the policy, which impacts our business.
Most of the new FTAs particularly with EU, UK and UAE are likely to be concluded in early 2022. This is a critical subject for all International Trade players to understand. It is extremely important, that we get our legitimate benefit on our export products including better market access in these 3 markets.
