British official bats for early rollout of India-UK FTA
The HinduAt a time when Free Trade Agreement negotiations are ongoing between India and the United Kingdom, a visiting representative of London’s financial and professional services segment has batted for an expeditious conclusion to the talks and an early implementation of the deal this year. We believe that there will be a financial services chapter which will be very beneficial because it will provide the framework for the already existing strong financial services operating in the city of London and Indian firms,” said Christopher M Hayward, Policy Chairman, City of London. He said City of London wants to support infrastructure and infrastructure investment in India by mobilising and channelising private investment into the country. He said London can also help in augmenting Green finance through its various green finance products to help India achieve its sustainable goals.
