MFN or not, trade with Pak 'abysmally' low, says Assocham

Amid reports that India is considering withdrawal of most favoured nation (MFN) status to Pakistan in the wake of the Uri terror attack, Assocham today said the special privilege has not made much of a difference as trade between the two remains "abysmally" low. Out of India's total merchandise trade of USD 641 billion in 2015-16, Pakistan accounted for a meagre USD 2.67 billion. India's exports to the neighbouring country worked out to USD 2.17 billion, or 0.83 per cent, of the total Indian outward shipments while imports were less than USD 500 million, or 0.13 per cent, of the total inward shipments. "In all, trade with Pakistan was equivalent to 0.41 per cent of India's global merchandise commerce," said D S Rawat, Secretary General of Assocham. "Thus, the MFN status or no MFN has not made much of a difference on the bilateral trade. While India has granted Pakistan the MFN status, Islamabad had not responded... Even with the MFN status, Pakistan's exports to India remained less
