On 13 January 2022 the UK Government announced its intention to launch trade negotiations with India. The announcement was supported by the UK Government’s publication on its key negotiating priorities and a scoping assessment of the long\-term impacts on the UK economy should a trade agreement be secured.


A full and comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA) would potentially strengthen the two countries relationship and increase trade and investment. The UK Government’s scoping assessment indicates that an FTA with India, based on the most optimistic scenario, could potentially contribute to 0\.22% growth in UK Gross Domestic Product (GDP), equivalent to £6\.2bn, by 2035\. This equates to a potential growth of 0\.19% in Gross Value Added (GVA) for Wales, equivalent to approximately £126m.


Wales and India share a strong relationship with the value of goods trade between India and Wales valued at around £278m in the year ending June 2021\.  India is the 27th largest export market for Wales accounting for around 0\.6% of Welsh goods exports and the 18th largest import market with around 1\.4% of Wales’ total goods imports coming from India.  In the last 5 years, Wales has benefited from regular investment by Indian\-headquartered companies, with a number of these companies re\-investing on multiple occasions.


We welcome the start of trade negotiations with India, which could bring benefits to the Welsh economy. However, as with all FTAs, there is also the potential risk that our domestic industries could be adversely affected should the UK Government fail to take into account Welsh market sensitivities in the negotiations. There are also differences in standards between the UK and India, and a trade deal could increase competition for domestic manufacturers. Therefore, the UK Government must provide assurances that the final agreement would result in an appropriate level playing field for both UK and Indian businesses and allow us to protect our high standards in Wales


The Welsh Government is committed to tackling climate change and currently has a national plan to achieve a target of net\-zero carbon by 2050\. The UK Government also have similar goals for the environment and tackling climate change. Setting ambitious goals within trade agreements can be a key tool to align with our international commitments. Therefore, any FTA secured with our trading partners must always be reflective of our, and the wider UK’s, ambitions and commitments on critical international issues. Whilst recognising that India have different domestic commitments to the UK, an FTA with India should not reduce the UK’s global status and reputation on environment and climate change issues, place the UK in a disadvantageous position for future FTA negotiations, or impact on our ability to deliver our goals domestically.


To date our relationship with the UK Government on FTA negotiations has been predominately positive. We expect to build on this going forward so that we can ensure that Welsh interests are taken into account, and the UK Government is able to negotiate a deal that works for all parts of the UK.

Ar 13 Ionawr 2022 cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth y DU ei bwriad i lansio trafodaethau masnach gydag India. Cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth y DU flaenoriaethau negodi gyda Llywodraeth India i gefnogi hyn, ac asesiad cwmpasu o'r effeithiau hirdymor ar economi'r DU pe bai cytundeb masnach yn cael ei sicrhau.


Byddai Cytundeb Masnach Rydd (CMR) llawn a chynhwysfawr o bosibl yn cryfhau perthynas y ddwy wlad ac yn cynyddu masnach a buddsoddiad. Mae asesiad cwmpasu Llywodraeth y DU yn nodi y gallai CMR ag India, yn seiliedig ar y senario fwyaf optimistaidd, gyfrannu at dwf 0\.22% yng Nghynnyrch Domestig Gros y DU (GDP), sy'n cyfateb i £6\.2bn, erbyn 2035\. Mae hyn yn cyfateb i dwf posibl o 0\.19% mewn Gwerth Ychwanegol Gros (GVA) yng Nghymru, sy’n cyfateb i oddeutu £126m.


Mae Cymru ac India yn rhannu perthynas gref gyda gwerth masnach nwyddau rhwng India a Chymru oddeutu £ 278m yn y flwyddyn a ddaeth i ben Mehefin 2021\. India yw'r 27ain marchnad allforio fwyaf i Gymru sy'n cyfrif am oddeutu 0\.6% o allforion nwyddau Cymru a'r 18fed farchnad fewnforio fwyaf gyda thua 1\.4% o gyfanswm mewnforion nwyddau Cymru yn dod o India. Yn ystod y 5 mlynedd diwethaf, mae Cymru wedi elwa o fuddsoddiad rheolaidd gan gwmnïau sydd â phencadlys yn India, gyda nifer o'r cwmnïau hyn yn ail\-fuddsoddi sawl gwaith.


Rydym yn croesawu dechrau trafodaethau masnach gydag India, a allai ddod â buddion sylweddol i economi Cymru. Fodd bynnag, fel gyda phob Cytundeb Masnach Rydd (CMR), mae hefyd risg y gallai ein diwydiannau domestig gael eu heffeithio'n sylweddol pe bai Llywodraeth y DU yn methu ag ystyried sensitifrwydd y farchnad yng Nghymru fel rhan o’r trafodaethau. Felly, mae'n rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU roi sicrwydd y byddai'r cytundeb terfynol yn arwain at chwarae teg ar gyfer busnesau'r DU ac India ac yn caniatáu i ni amddiffyn ein safonau uchel yng Nghymru


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i fynd i’r afael â newid yn yr hinsawdd ac mae ganddi ar hyn o bryd gynllun cenedlaethol i gyrraedd targed carbon net\-sero erbyn 2050\. Mae gan Lywodraeth y DU hefyd nodau tebyg ar gyfer yr amgylchedd a mynd i’r afael â newid yn yr hinsawdd. Gall gosod nodau uchelgeisiol o fewn cytundebau masnach fod yn offeryn allweddol i gyd\-fynd â’n hymrwymiadau rhyngwladol. Felly, rhaid i unrhyw CMR a sicrhawyd gyda'n partneriaid masnachu adlewyrchu ein huchelgeisiau a'n hymrwymiadau ni, a'r DU ehangach, ar faterion allweddol yn rhyngwladol bob amser. Er yn cydnabod bod India gyda gwahanol ymrwymiadau domestig i'r DU, ni ddylai CMR ac India leihau statws ac enw da byd\-eang y DU ar faterion amgylcheddol a newid yn yr hinsawdd. Ni ddylai chwaith, olygu anfantais i’r DU o ran trafodaethau CMR yn y dyfodol, neu effaith ar ein gallu i gyflawni ein nodau yn ddomestig.


Hyd yma mae ein perthynas â Llywodraeth y DU ar drafodaethau CMR wedi bod yn gadarnhaol ar y cyfan. Disgwyliwn adeiladu ar hyn wrth symud ymlaen fel y gallwn sicrhau bod buddiannau Cymru yn cael eu hystyried, a bod Llywodraeth y DU yn gallu negodi bargen sy'n gweithio i bob rhan o'r DU.
