India’s exports have done well in spite of the global economic slowdown, he said, adding that when the full-year data comes, it would be seen that India’s total exports—merchandise and services—would be close to three quarters of a trillion dollars.
He pointed out that India’s exports and imports together amounted to about 45 per cent of the GDP, which meant that “we have to be sensitive to what is happening in the rest of the world.”
