2016财年印度棉纺织品或将继续下降

The declining exports trend may continue in FY16
Describing India's current textile export trends as not very encouraging, The Cotton Textile Export Promotion Council (Texprocil) Chairman R K Dalmia has called for interest rates subvention for India's cotton textile industry and a re-calibration of product market matrix to include exports to emerging markets to take on competitors whose exports to developed markets are growing because of preferential access.
At the All India Exporters' Chamber's Platinum Jubilee celebration in Mumbai, Dalmia said, "Exports of cotton textiles during April-August 2015 declined by 2.16 per cent at $4.24 billion as compared to same period of the last year. The declining exports trend may continue in FY16 due to subdued China demand and sluggish European economy,"
India's exports of cotton textiles in August 2015 registered a decline of 7.39 per cent to $863.18 million as against $932.02 million in the same month last year.
"A large part of the reason for the sluggish growth lies in the overall slowing of demand in the overseas markets too. Apart from a general decline in overseas demand, our over-dependence on China especially for cotton and cotton yarn exports, is magnifying the overall decline in our exports as China slows down ,” Dalmia said.
While a slowdown in exports widens the gap in trade deficit in this sector, surplus capacity finds an outlet only through the channel of exports. Dalmia said the government must accelerate efforts to enhance the competitiveness of India's exports and expedite conclusion of FTAs with the EU, Australia and Canada.
He also pointed out the high cost of export finance which is around 10 per cent in India as compared to 3-4 per cent in competing countries like Vietnam, Bangladesh and Pakistan has also adversely impact India's textile exports. (SH)

2016财年印度棉纺织品或将继续下降
鉴于目前的纺织品出口形势不容乐观，印度棉纺织品出口促进委员会（Texprocil）主席R K Dalmia呼吁政府对印度棉纺织行业进行利率补助金计划，促进其产品出口至新兴市场。
Dalmia在孟买参加全印度出口商商会庆典之际指出，2015年4月至8月印度棉纺织品出口同比下降了2.16%至42.4亿美元。由于受中国出口需求的抑制及欧洲经济疲软，2016财年印度棉纺织品或将继续下降。
2015年8月，印度棉纺织品出口下降7.39%至8.6318亿美元，而去年同期棉纺织品出口额为9.3202亿美元。
Dalmia说，这很大一部分原因归结于海外市场需求整体放缓。除了海外需求下降之外，我们还过分依赖于中国，尤其是棉花和棉纱出口。
由于出口贸易逆差扩大，过剩产能只有通过出口这个渠道。Dalmia表示，政府必须加快努力，加强印度产品的出口竞争力，加快与欧盟、澳大利亚和加拿大签署自由贸易协定的进程。
他还指出，印度的出口融资成本高，约为10%，而其竞争国家出口融资成本为3%-4%，如越南、孟加拉和巴基斯坦。这对印度纺织品出口亦造成不利的影响。
