This study has been
conducted within the framework of the SAARC Network of
Researchers. This study attempts to examine the impact of SAPTA on
bilateral preferential trade flows on conceded products both from
the point of view of India’s imports as well as exports since
SAPTA negotiations were implemented by the end of 1995. The study
shows that import liberalization by India has stimulated
preferential imports from Bangladesh both in value and share
terms. A first draft of the study has been completed. It was
discussed at a seminar organized at RIS. The study is being
finalized with the comments and updation with more recent data
that has become available. A revised draft of the study has been
completed which was presented at the RIS/SACEPS Regional
Conference on SAARC in August 2004. The study is being finalized
for publication.
