<h1>Government Reforms Boost Defence Exports Sevenfold with SCOMET Updates, New Licensing, and Private Sector Involvement.</h1> The government has implemented several reforms to boost defence exports, resulting in a sevenfold increase in authorizations over two years. Key measures include updating the SCOMET Category 6 Munitions List and appointing the Department of Defence Production as the licensing authority. Procedures have been streamlined, such as eliminating consultation for repeat orders and allowing companies to issue End User Certificates. The government introduced an Open General Export License and financial support for Defence Attaches to promote exports. Additionally, the defence industry was opened to private sector participation, with increased Foreign Direct Investment limits and extended industrial license validity.
