The current Foreign Trade Policy has been extended by six months due to currency volatility and global uncertainty.
Currently, there are fears of recession in major economies like the United State and Europe.
This has resulted in the rapid withdrawal of investments and foreign funds outflow in India.
Geopolitical crisis caused by the Ukraine war, inflation and monetary policy tightening are weakening the rupee against the US dollar.
Currently the USD is at a 22-year high and the Indian Rupee has hit an all-time low of 81.6 against the dollar.
Hence, the current geo-political situation is not favourable for the adoption of long-term foreign policy FTP 2022-27.
The Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20 provides the framework for increasing exports of goods and services and focuses on improving ease of doing business in India.
