Summary: India and Bangladesh have long shared common objectives for closer economic integration within the South Asia region and trade between the two countries has grown rapidly since the early 1990s. A free trade agreement (FTA) has been under consideration for some time. This report seeks to explore the implications of a bilateral FTA. Although the report points at possible advantages, it concludes that there is no compelling case for India and Bangladesh to pursue a bilateral FTA. Rather a broader-based liberalization would be preferable since this would yield much larger economic benefits, whilst minimizing risks. This introductory chapter gives a brief history of the trading relationship between the two countries.
