Trade in Services and Trade Agreements: Perspectives from India and the European Union

摘要

The service sector has emerged as one of the largest and fastest-growing sector of the global economy, accounting for more than 60 per cent of global output and one-third of global employment. India and the European Union (EU) are among the key players in the global services market. At present, the EU is India's largest trading partner in services and accounts for around 13 per cent of India's services trade. Given the importance of services for both India and the EU, which has contributed significantly to the strengthening of the India-EU bilateral relationship, this book presents a detailed discussion and analysis of services trade, investment and collaboration between India and the EU, in the context of recent developments and policy changes.
