Encouraged Bilateral Trade for Small to Mid-sized U.S.Companies to India
According to American Shipper magazine, both the U.S. and Indian government has announced an incentive to encourage small to mid-sized companies to trade bilaterally between the two countries.
“There is almost limitless potential for growth in trade between our two countries, and that can contribute to economic recovery and job creation in the United States and continued economic growth in India,” Ron Kirk, U.S. Trade Representative said in a statement.
In October 2009, Mr. Kirk and Anand Sharma, Indian Minister of Commerce and Industry met at the Trade Policy Forum meeting to create the necessary framework to support small to mid-sized companies and encourage trade. This week the two representatives will met again to host an advisory meeting of American and Indian trade experts to enhance their efforts for this new program.
“We can realize that potential by working together toward the goals set forth in the framework agreement, such as developing and enforcing policies that encourage technological innovation; increasing agriculture, services, and industrial goods; and increasing investment flows,” Ron Kirk added.

Imports rose a more than 44.7 percent from a year ago, the Chinese customs bureau reported on its Web site today. The surplus was $7.61 billion, and exports gained 45.7 percent.
“The sustained strength in China’s imports is a source of support for the global economy,” said David Cohen, an economist with Action Economics in Singapore.
On March 6th, Commerce Minister Chen Deming said that the trade surplus fell 50.2 percent in January and February from a year earlier, adding that domestic demand had boosted imports. He said it was too early to say if exports had recovered from the global financial crisis.
