The Trade Effects of Africa−India Trade Agreements.

There have been trade interactions between Africa and some Asian countries, specifically India, a South–South trade relation, which are accompanied with outcomes that are based on output, macroeconomic stability and compliant with the agreements reached at different points in time. This study investigates the effects of Africa’s trade agreements with India on Africa’s exports. The findings suggest that there are potentials for Africa’s exports in India. The trade agreements in Africa−India trade relations were marginally trade-enhancing, while Indian high tariffs did not debar Africa’s exports access. However, the non-tariff barriers were more pronounced than the tariff barriers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
