Virtual Trade corridor
A virtual trade corridor is an online platform that enables faster and more efficient customs clearance for international trade between two countries.
Significance:
It will complement the bilateral comprehensive free trade agreement signed between India and the UAE in 2022
The agreement immediately eliminated duties for 90% of India’s exports in value terms covering sectors like gems and jewellery, textiles, leather, and engineering goods.
The two countries estimate non-oil trade to reach $100 billion over the five-year period after the implementation of the free trade agreement
It will cut the cost and time for customs clearance and speed up bilateral trade.
