What is the approximate value of India-Egypt bilateral trade as stated during the visit?
- A.About US$2.5 billion
- B.About US$6.5 billion
- C.About US$12 billion
- D.About US$26 billion
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is about US$6.5 billion. Addressing the Indian community in Cairo, the Union Minister of Commerce and Industry said trade at this level is only the beginning of the partnership between two ancient civilisations, which is the sense in which the figure was quoted. He also pointed to nearly 70 Indian companies working in Egypt with investments of more than US$5 billion, creating direct and indirect employment for Egyptians. The other three amounts do not appear in the account of the visit and are set at levels that would wrongly suggest either a much smaller or a far larger trading relationship than the one described, so options A, C and D are wrong. Pair the trade figure with the investment figure, since questions often ask for both.
