RBI Governor Says India-U.S. Trade Deal Failure May Impact Economy, Trade Agreements Could Mitigate
Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra stated that failure to finalise a trade deal between India and the U.S. could negatively impact the Indian economy, though the extent depends on potential tariffs. He highlighted that recent and upcoming trade agreements, along with export diversification, may help cushion this impact. The comments come amid stalled India-U.S. trade negotiations, with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman noting difficulties in offering further concessions to the U.S.
