Report Highlights Need to Reduce Investment Barriers and Trade Restrictions in India
A report by the Competere Foundation highlights that India's economic growth depends on reducing both external trade barriers and domestic investment restrictions. While reforms like GST and insolvency code have improved market conditions, challenges remain from foreign investment caps, regulatory barriers, and proposed digital competition laws. Exporters face increasing regulatory hurdles in major markets, including the EU and UK. The report emphasizes the need to ease non-tariff measures and investment restrictions to boost exports, productivity, and long-term growth.
