In the objectives of the survey, the RBI notes, "Liberalisation of international trade in financial services is one of the important aspects of negotiations on trade in services as a part of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), which mainly depends on the multilateral negotiations with WTO members. The availability of data is a prerequisite for meaningful negotiations under GATS."
The basic objective of this annual survey is to create a consistent and comparable database on international trade in banking services, keeping in view of the requirements for policy decisions and consistency with international standards. The data furnished in the schedule will be kept confidential and will be used only for statistical purposes. (ANI)
