Goyal came to the ministry accompanied by former commerce minister Suresh Prabhu.

“I have a lot to learn from my senior colleague Prabhu Ji. I would continue to take his guidance and support,” he told reporters here.

Prabhu expressed confidence in Goyal and said officials and team in the ministry will work with him to push economic growth of the country.

The new commerce minister will have several task at hand like pushing India’s exports at a time when two large economies — the US and China — are engaged in trade war and other countries taking protectionist measures.

India’s merchandise exports grew 9 per cent to USD 331 billion in 2018-19. But, foreign direct investment inflows into India declined for the first time in the past six years in 2018-19, falling by 1 per cent to USD 44.37 billion.

Several new policies are there in the pipeline of the ministry and it includes new industrial policy, national e-commerce policy, national logistics policy, and foreign trade policy for five years.

The other key issues which the new minister has to look at such as conclusion of negotiations for the mega free trade agreement Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), further improvement of India’s rank in the World Bank’s ease of doing business report, and steps to revive special economic zones.
