India Merchandize + Services Trade narrows to a deficit of $ 740 mn from $ 7.30 bn average seen in the April - Dec 2023 period

India's overall Trade Deficit was a positive surprise with data summarized below:
Sharply higher services exports at $ 32.80 bn (18% higher mom) and lower merchandize imports (down 7% lower mom) saw trade deficit narrow to $ 740 mn. 


If we can maintain the higher services exports and lower merchandize imports, we could end the year with an even lower current account deficit. 

For the week ended 09 Feb 2024, FX reserves declined by $ 5.20 bn to $ 617 bn.
