World Bank’s advice to India to reconsider RCEP stance flawed: GTRI

The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) has criticized the World Bank's suggestion for India to reconsider joining the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). GTRI argues that India's decision to stay out of RCEP remains valid due to concerns over trade deficits and reliance on China-centric supply chains, especially highlighted during the Covid-19 pandemic.
