Sheba Nandkeolyar Founder &amp; CEO MultiConnexions Group is also the National Chair of Australia India Business Council Women in Business Chapter, Immediate Past National Chair of AIBC, former Australia India Council (DFAT) Board Member and leading cross-cultural expert, and an Indian Diaspora business leader.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Modi called it a \u201cwatershed moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Morrison called it \u201cone of the biggest economic doors there is to open.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In case you missed it, Australia and India have signed a major interim free-trade deal that is being widely hailed as a hugely significant step in diversifying Australia\u2019s (and India\u2019s) export markets and reducing our economic dependence on other markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Australia is the 17th largest trading partner of India and India is Australia\u2019s 9th largest partner. Bilateral trade in goods and services stood at USD 27.5 billion in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Whichever way you look at it, a free trade agreement between Australia and India is, in a word, awesome!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>But, breaking it down\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013<strong>\u00a0what does it mean for Australia?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Australian producers stand to benefit<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The deal will cut Indian tariffs on Australian exports such as sheep goods, coal, lobsters, and rare earths (although notably not sensitive products like dairy or chickpeas). It also includes a phased reduction of tariffs on wine and a host of other agricultural products including avocados, cherries, nuts, blueberries, almonds, oranges, mandarins, pears, and strawberries. Australia wants to get into India\u2019s top three export markets by 2035 and when India gets (a very literal) taste of what Australia has to offer, I am sure we can hit that target.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The agreement will initially cut tariffs on 85 per cent of Australian exports, worth $12.6 billion a year and will expand over a decade, eventually cutting tariffs on around 91 per cent of exports, worth $13.4 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Australian employers stand to benefit<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 With COVID putting a grinding halt on migration to Australia in recent years, many Australian employers who would normally look to fill skills shortages with foreign expertise have been finding it difficult to do so. Indeed, the AI-ECTA has arrived at a moment of significant talent shortages constraining Australian industries, including the accounting, and engineering fields among others. The new deal promises to benefit the professional services industry as the agreement will \u201cfacilitate the recognition of professional qualifications, licensing, and registration procedures between professional services bodies in both countries\u201d, according to a government statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Australian consumers stand to benefit<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Rising inflation in Australia has put pressure on consumers doing their regular grocery shopping. With reduced and eliminated tariffs on goods imported from India, Australian consumers stand to benefit when purchasing a range of products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Opening doors for a market of over 1.4 billion people<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 India\u2019s huge population and economic growth make it an attractive market for Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>What does it mean for India?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Indian producers stand to benefit<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Indian exporters from over 6,000 broad sectors, including textiles, leather, furniture, jewellery, and machinery, will get duty free access in the Australian market immediately after the interim trade agreement between the two countries comes into force. India\u2019s goods exports were worth USD 6.9 billion and imports aggregated to USD 15.1 billion in 2021. Major exports by India to Australia include petroleum products, textiles and apparels, engineering goods, leather, chemicals and gems and jewellery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Labour-intensive sectors stand to benefit<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Labour-intensive sectors which would gain immensely, include textiles and apparel, few agricultural and fish products, leather, footwear, furniture, sport goods, jewellery, machinery, electrical goods, railway wagons, selected pharmaceutical products and medical devices. Cheaper raw materials from Australia will make these industries more competitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Students and professionals stand to benefit\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Post study work visas will provide extended options for working in Australia to eligible Indian graduates, postgraduates and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) specialists. This facilitates greater cooperation across the digital world, start-ups, and education. There are also liberalised visa norms for students and professionals, including quotas for Indian chefs and yoga teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Creation of about a million jobs<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This development is predicted to create significant employment in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>So, in a nutshell, what does it mean for the everyday Australian?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" type=\"1\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Shot in the arm for our economy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Cheaper imported goods from India<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Boost to Australia\u2019s STEM &amp; IT workforces<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">More employment opportunities<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97577\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/India-Australia-Free-Trade-Agreement-The-10-year-wait-was-worth-it-Opinion-Piece.jpg\" alt=\"India-Australia Free Trade Agreement: The 10-year wait was worth it (Opinion Piece\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>What does it mean for the everyday Indian?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" type=\"1\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Opens the way for professionals and students aspiring to study and work in Australia<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Greater access to high quality and cheaper Australian goods<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">More employment opportunities<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Improved market conditions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I think the ten-year wait was worth it, and I am excited about what the future holds for both India and Australia, as well as the relationship betwee<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">n the two countries.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India-Australia Free Trade Agreement: The 10-year wait was worth it (Opinion Piece Source :\u00a0indusage.com.au In this opinion piece, Australia-India expert Sheba Nandkeolyar unpacks what the freshly inked India-Australia Free Trade Agreement means for us all and shines a light on some happy details in the fine print.
