Exim Bank: Home

The Bank's Research and Analysis Group comprises experienced economists who offers a range of insights on aspects of international economics, trade and investments through qualitative and quantitative research techniques. The research work carried out in the Group covers a wide range of topics related to international economic developments, trade and investment, sectoral analysis, global and regional issues, state-level export strategy, and policy-related research, among others, which are published in the form of Occasional Papers, Working Papers, and Special Publications. These research studies seek to identify avenues for enhancing India's international engagements.

In addition to the research publications, the Group also brings out two newsletters: Eximius: Export Advantage, and Agri Export Advantage. Besides this, the Group provides regular inputs to the Central and State Governments on various policy related issues, debt sustainability aspects of loan recipient countries, macro-economic issues, and inputs for negotiations of Free Trade Agreements with partner countries.

In recognition of the need for export promotion at the state level, and in accordance with its mandate of promoting India's international trade, Exim Bank has been engaging with the state governments to evaluate the state-level export performance and potential, and outline strategies for development of trade competitiveness. The strategies in the studies focus on enhancing trade competitiveness, promoting innovation, bolstering availability of export finance, enhancing value addition in the production cycles, capacity building, creating awareness about exports, increasing branding and marketing of products from the states, and creating an institutional mechanism for nudging exports to a higher growth trajectory.
