  • The country's high interest rates are a big deterrent for exporters community and the commerce ministry is working with its finance counterpart to help them at this front, a senior government official said on Wednesday.

The article from Business Standard discusses the challenges faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India due to high interest rates, which are deterring their export capabilities.

The discussions aim to find solutions like interest subvention schemes or other financial support mechanisms to alleviate the burden on MSME exporters, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the global market.
