SERVICES EXPORTS

POTENTIAL UNLEASHED OR AN UNFINISHED AGENDA?

India’s services exports has outperformed its more popular cousin (read: merchandise exports) over the last few years. Truth however is, despite the relative brilliance, growth in India's services exports has been lacklustre. Limited trade agreements, absence of defined supply cycles, and a lack of diversification makes one wonder if this sector can fill the vacuum in earnings caused by a slowdown in merchandise exports.
