What is the India-UK Free Trade Agreement?

 

What exactly is a free trade pact?

Free trade agreements (FTAs) are agreements between two or more nations or trading blocs, with the main goal of reducing or eliminating tariff and non-tariff barriers to significant commerce between them. FTAs typically cover trade in services as well as goods (such as industrial or agricultural products) (such as banking, construction, trading, etc.). FTAs may also address topics including investment, government contracts, competition law, and intellectual property rights (IPRs).

What benefits does an FTA offer?

For the reason that they receive preferential treatment over rivals from non-FTA member countries, exporters prefer FTAs to multilateral trade liberalization.

As an illustration, ASEAN has an FTA with India but not one with Canada. In accordance with the Free Trade Agreement with India, ASEAN decreased customs taxes on leather shoes from 20% to 0%. Due to this tariff preference, an Indian exporter will now be more competitive than a Canadian exporter of shoes, presuming all costs are equivalent.

Regional FTAs may also shield regional exporters from competition from foreign firms that may benefit from preferential treatment under other FTAs.

The potential for greater foreign investment from sources outside the FTA. Think about an FTA between two nations, A and B. a country's large domestic market and hefty tariffs.

To serve country A's domestic market, companies based in country C may choose to invest there. However, if B offers a superior business climate and both A and B sign an FTA, C may choose to locate its factory there in order to supply A with its goods.
