16. Conclusion
From independence in 1947 to the early 1990s, India was basically a closed economy t
hat was governed according to socialist principles. Liberalization began in the 1980s
and then accelerated in the early 1990s. A balance of payment crisis forced the
government to lend from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
Today, the formerly state-run economy is largely driven by market dynamics. This
is true of India’s foreign trade. India was a founding member of the World Trade
Organization (WTO) in 1995, and had previously been involved in the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which ultimately spawned the WTO.
The patterns of India’s foreign trade have changed considerably since the early
1990s. From the financial year 1990/91 to the one of 2017/18, the total value of
goods exports increased more than 16 times: from $18 billion to over $300 billion
and goods imports increased almost 20 times: from $ 24 billion to more than $ 460
billion.
The patterns of India’s foreign trade have changed in the past three decades. Exchange with emerging market
s and developing countries has expanded spectacularly. India’s imports, however, have expanded faster than t
he exports, so balance-of-payments problems may make the economy vulnerable.
