FOCUS – LAC

The Latin America of today has changed fundamentally and irreversibly. Democracy has been established firmly in most parts of it. The Governments of Latin America have opened up their markets and reduced import tariffs. They are privatizing their state enterprises. They are according priority to the modernization/improvement of existing infrastructure and creation of new infrastructure for the growth and development of the region. The Latin American countries are convinced and have realized India’s export capabilities and the advantages of doing business with India. During these times of austerity, the Latin American countries look forward to countries like India more seriously for imports at affordable prices.

Considering the potential of the market in the Latin American region, an integrated programme “Focus:LAC” was launched in November 1997 by the Commerce Ministry, Govt. of India. The Programme has been reviewed from time to time and extended up to March 31, 2008.
