Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnerships (RCEP) Withdrawal

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

India opted out of RCEP amid concerns about import surges (especially from China), farm sector vulnerability, and unresolved trade barriers. Critics say withdrawal might reduce market access for Indian exporters, while proponents claim it protects domestic manufacturing and ensures fair negotiations. Exams can ask about trade-offs: balancing integration with safeguarding sensitive sectors. Students should also evaluate alternative bilateral deals and how internal reforms can make Indian exports more competitive, mitigating reliance on broad FTAs.
