The year gone by was a testing one for
the global economy. It was a calendar
marked with slower than expected global
output and trade growth, reduced capital
flows, meltdown in commodities, conflicts
across parts of the world and currency
devaluations – all of which have triggered
fears of the next global recession.And though
India fared better in this dull environment,
there is need to enact key policy proposals
(like the GST bill) this new year. As the
calendar on our desktops get replaced, hope
persists that factors affecting world trade
too will change for the better, with forecasts
indicating revival across domestic and world
economies. The Dollar Business takes a look
at key elements and occurrences that could
change world trade in 2016.
WILL 2016 BE A YEAR OF
CHANGE FOR THE
BETTER?
