Pakistan's Trade Suspension with India and Global Trade Policy Shifts Examined
Pakistan's suspension of trade with India since 2019, following the revocation of Article 370, has reportedly caused an estimated $40 billion economic loss due to increased sourcing and logistics costs, according to Pakistan-India Business Council Chairman Noor Muhammad Qasuri. Despite longstanding trade barriers and limited tariff concessions under SAFTA, much trade occurred via third countries. Meanwhile, global trade policies are evolving, with countries like India navigating between protectionism and globalization amid new trade regulations addressing labor and environmental standards, impacting market access and economic benefits.
