Commerce & Industry Minister Anand Sharma today said the Country will exceed the export target of 350 billion dollars this year. Speaking at the Board of Trade meeting in New Delhi Mr. Sharma said that due to the policy measures taken by the Government, the exports in the last fiscal year had reached around 300 billion dollars. The minister said the Government has successfully tapped non-conventional markets to boost exports. He said the Government is also banking on higher exports to help bridge the current account deficit which in turn would steady the rupee. The Commerce minister asserted there is no policy paralysis in the Government and key decisions are being taken to put the country back on the growth trajectory. He said the partisan propagandas have led to delays in various measures taken by the Government including the FDI. The Minister also sought support from Industry and media to contribute towards positivity and confidence rebuilding amongst foreign investors.
