During the ongoing Parliament Budget Session, concerns were raised regarding the impact of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) on India's trade balance. DMK member Arun Nehru stated that while FTAs have increased overall trade volume, they have also contributed to a widening trade deficit.
The session also featured discussions on other economic and geopolitical matters. The government's economic policies and their outcomes were a central topic of debate among members of parliament.
No specific new statistics or dates regarding the trade deficit figures were independently verified in the latest reports from the session. The discussions form part of the broader parliamentary scrutiny of the nation's fiscal and trade policies.
