With over 8 lakh COVID-19 positive cases, India might be on the verge of becoming the next global hotspot for the pandemic. However, there is also some positive news coming up during such overwhelming times. For the first time in 18 years, India may report its first monthly trade surplus in June. The pace of contraction of exports is expected to have slowed down by about 12%, while imports have dropped by almost 49% during the last month. Additionally, India’s June export numbers are also likely to recover after the great fall in April and May led by the pandemic. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal have confirmed that the export figures may touch almost 88% as compared to those from the corresponding period last year. However, labor-intensive sectors such as textiles & garments, farm, marine, gems & jewelry, leather, stone, cement, and ceramic, along with other ancillary segments, continue to suffer. Given the current circumstances, it would be ideal for the government to look at sectoral issues and address the concerns of these segments for an overall healthy recovery.
