Abstract

The gargantuan current account deficit was a much discussed issue in Indian economy during 2012-13. It was USD 87.8 billion, 4.8% of GDP in the financial year 2013. Accordingly the price of Rupees against Dollar has been continuously falling in the recent past. Foreign trade market has been characterized by some common scenarios. Firstly, there is a change in the composition of trade. Whereas the combined share of import of Petroleum, Electronic goods and Gold is rising, the same for Machinery, Iron and Steel is falling and Gold is rising. Secondly, major changes have been observed in the trading partners for the exportable and importable items in the past two decades. Thirdly, GDP trend has been heavily dependent on the foreign investment and external assistance. This paper examines the trend of export and import and some other parameters related with India’s foreign trade with the help of usual statistical tools. There is also an effort to find out the dependency of the India’s GDP on these parameters using causality test and multiple regression analysis.
