Global trade to grow despite turbulence: Piyush Goyal
Feb 07, 2026
"Globalisation is neither retreating nor taking a back seat. On the contrary, global trade continues to grow, despite all this turbulence," Goyal said, responding to questions on whether the world is moving away from free trade. He pointed to strong trade numbers, stating that India's combined goods and services trade is expected to grow by five to six per cent this year. "So whoever talks of globalisation being in retreat is ill-informed," he added.
