Indo-Pak Trade Needs a Push
Instead of waiting,
non-state actors should reinforce governmental
efforts with their own and take advantage of
opportunities of improved commercial relations. The
last two years have witnessed a number of promising
developments on commercial relations between India
and Pakistan. Recent developments show that Pakistan
has provided de facto MFN status to India. The
Indian establishment should look at it as a deferred
success of its diplomatic efforts.
From a narrow base of a
positive list, Pakistan has decided to apply a
broader negative-list approach. As against the
earlier approach of allowing trade in just about
1,800 tariff lines, this base has increased to all
product lines except about 1,200.
