FIEO, the apex body for exporters, feels that there is a vast scope for small and big players to enter in the US market.
Ajay Sahai, Director General & CEO, Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has said that there was ample scope for small and big players to enter this lucrative market. There was also a large amount of investment in the US by Indian organizations which has touched USD 20 billion. Sahai felt that GSP has to be revived as it had lapsed and was affecting the trade to the US.
The business meet highlighted duty free exports to America under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) and the Obama administration's international trade policies and how India could be affected.
Meanwhile, Manila Munjal Sarkaria, Advocate & Partner, Kaden Boriss (India Office), in her welcome address highlighted the key trade issues between the countries and was of the view that GSP is one of the important aspects related to Indo-US trade. She also emphasised on the need to spread awareness on the significance of GSP and its impact on Indo-US trade.
