WTCA encourages Singapore firms to explore ASEAN-India trade

ASEAN and India recorded a bilateral trade volume of $177.2b in 2022-2023.

An international trade organisation has encouraged businesses in Singapore to engage in opportunities emerging from increased trade between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and India.

The World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) said these opportunities are driven by India's vibrant industrial and technology sectors and platforms such as the ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement (AIFTA).

The AIFTA has been reducing duties on goods in both the ASEAN and India markets since 2010. The two regions recorded a bilateral trade volume of $177.2b (US$131.5b) in 2022-2023, representing 11.3% of India’s total global trade during the same period.

Singapore is one of India's largest trade and investment partners in ASEAN.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
