The export performance is all the more remarkable as it was recorded when global growth is moderating. The major growth drivers were electronic goods, plastics & linoleum, petroleum, engineering goods, organic & inorganic chemicals, drugs & pharmaceuticals and cotton yarn/fabs/ made-ups, handloom products. Such a remarkable export performance should be dedicated to the hard work put in by the exporting community, leading to an impressive growth despite major challenges including protectionism, tough global conditions and constraints on the domestic front. This healthy growth in exports have come at a time even when the World Trade Organization has downwardly revised the global trade forecast to 2.6% in 2019 from 3% in 2018 and global trade contracted in the first quarter of 2019.
