Research Papers

In recognition of the need for export promotion at the state level, and in accordance with its mandate of promoting India’s international trade, Exim Bank has been engaging with the state governments to evaluate the state-level export performance and potential, and outline strategies for development of trade competitiveness. The strategies in the studies focus on enhancing trade competitiveness, promoting innovation, bolstering availability of export finance, enhancing value addition in the production cycles, capacity building, creating awareness about exports, increasing branding and marketing of products from the states, and creating an institutional mechanism for nudging exports to a higher growth trajectory.
