<h1>India's Merchandise Exports Projected to Grow 6.3% to USD 326 Billion in 2013-14 Amidst Global Trade Slowdown.</h1> The Finance Minister announced a projected growth rate of 6.3% in India's merchandise exports for the financial year 2013-14, with estimated exports reaching USD 326 billion. Despite a global trade decline from 6.1% in 2011 to 2.7% in 2013, India's exports showed significant recovery. The previous year saw a negative growth of 1.8%, with exports at USD 300.4 billion. The rupee faced pressure during 2013-14, but measures by the government, RBI, and SEBI helped stabilize the foreign exchange market, making the rupee one of the least affected emerging economy currencies during the reduction in December 2013 and January 2014.
