Import duties were reduced very (A) after 1991, but they need to be reduced further. In 1997-98, then finance minister had set the target that import duty rates should be reduced to Asean (Association of South-East Asian Nations) levels by 2000. Sixteen years after that target date, our import duties remain significantly above the Asean level.

Now that we have signed a free-trade agreement with Asean, retaining higher (B) than those in Asean will raise our domestic cost structure, making it difficult to compete with the low duty imports that will be allowed from Asean. It will also reduce the (C) of our exports to those markets. We should move to lower most non-agricultural duties to reach an average of around 5% in two years. This will also help tackle the problem of duty inversion, which has been a source of much complaint.

We have traditionally preferred trade negotiations within the multilateral World Trade Organization (WTO) framework, viewing regional trade agreements as distortionary. We were also committed to the Doha Round as a “single undertaking”. These perfectly reasonable positions have become (D) after the Doha Round was effectively abandoned in Nairobi in 20E.

One reason for the abandonment of Doha is that industrialized countries, seeing the changes in the structure of world trade with the growing importance of global value chains, lost interest in obtaining tariff reductions and became much more interested in “deeper integration” of behind the border standards on issues such as labour, environment, protection of intellectual property, competition policy, etc. This could not be pursued within the tariff-based negotiations in the WTO, so they shifted (E) focus on pursuing “mega regional agreements” such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) involving the US, Japan, Korea and some developing countries, and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) involving the US and the European Union (EU).
