What share of Indian exports gets duty-free access to New Zealand under the India-New Zealand FTA?
- A.75 per cent
- B.90 per cent
- C.99 per cent
- D.100 per cent
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 100 per cent. From the date the agreement enters into force, the whole of India's export basket to New Zealand becomes duty free. The sectors expected to gain include textiles and apparel, leather and footwear, engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and processed food products. Options A, B and C are wrong because partial coverage of that kind is typical of many other trade agreements but not of this one; they are placed here because candidates often assume that no agreement grants complete coverage. In return, New Zealand receives enhanced and preferential access to the Indian market for wood, wool, sheep meat and raw hides of leather. The pact also creates openings in services, investment and the mobility of professionals, students and youth.
