UK and India seal free trade agreement slashing tariffs, barriers
[LONDON] India and the UK sealed a free trade agreement eliminating tariffs on products ranging from cars to alcohol, finalising a deal between two major economies at a time when US President Donald Trump's tariff policies continue to disrupt global trade. Broadcasters on Thursday (Jul 24) aired footage showing UK Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and his Indian counterpart, Piyush Goyal, signing the agreement at a ceremony near London also attended by UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves and Indian Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has also jetted in to mark the occasion with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The pact comes after three years of intense negotiations touching on thorny topics such as visas, tariff reductions and tax breaks. The two nations concluded talks in May, completing Britain's biggest trade deal since Brexit and India's most significant such agreement to date. With Trump due to arrive in Scotland on Friday for a personal visit during which he'll meet with Starmer, the signing comes as Britain works to flesh out the trade pact it agreed with the US. Meanwhile the New Delhi administration is racing to clinch a deal with Washington before Aug 1, when higher tariffs are due to kick in. For Modi, the trade deal with Britain reinforces his push to position India as a viable alternative for global supply chains looking to diversify. The pact – India's first major one in a decade – signals that the South Asian nation is willing to lower its barriers to attract investments as it negotiates a bilateral trade deal with the US. It will also act as a springboard for India's ongoing talks with European Union. For Starmer, the deal will be a welcome step towards his goal of boosting economic growth in the UK. While it is expected to add £4.8 billion (S$8.3 billion) to the UK's annual economic output – a tiny increase to the size of the economy – Starmer's Labour government hopes successive incremental wins will help encourage investment and turn around lacklustre business sentiment. As a part of the deal, some 90 per cent of tariff lines will be reduced for British exports to India, including 85 per cent that will be fully tariff-free within a decade. India meanwhile will see duty reductions on about 99 per cent of tariff lines for goods shipped to Britain. Levies on whisky and gin will be halved to 75 per cent before reducing to 40 per cent by the 10th year of the deal, while automotive industry tariffs will reduce to 10 per cent – under a quota – from 110 per cent over that period. Two-way trade between the two nations stood at US$21.9 billion in 2024, and the deal is expected to boost bilateral by £25.5 billion a year over the long run. BLOOMBERG

Turkey nears Eurofighter jet purchase after agreement from UK, Germany
Find out what's new on ST website and app. British Defence Secretary John Healey (left) and Turkish Defence Minister Yasar Guler at a signing ceremony for the jets, in Istanbul on July 23. ISTANBUL - Turkey reached deals with Nato allies Britain and Germany on July 23 that pave the way to acquiring dozens of Eurofighter Typhoon jets, which Ankara has sought to bolster defences in an increasingly volatile region. Britain signed a preliminary deal allowing Ankara to operate the jets while Germany approved delivery of 40 of them to Turkey, which has relied on both foreign purchases and its own defence industry projects, including domestic jets, to ramp up deterrence. Beyond the Eurofighters, Ankara is also in talks with Washington to purchase 40 F-16s. Israel's attacks on regional countries, including its 12-day conflict with Turkey's neighbour Iran and more recent strikes on another neighbour, Syria, have unnerved Ankara, prompting a push for rapid armament in order to counter any potential threats. Turkey has been in talks since 2023 to purchase 40 Eurofighter Typhoons, which are built by a consortium of Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain, represented by Airbus, BAE Systems and Leonardo. Speaking at a signing ceremony with British Defence Secretary John Healey in Istanbul, Defence Minister Yasar Guler said the deal brought Turkey 'one step closer to a fully comprehensive agreement' on the jets, adding it would also strengthen Nato and Turkey's aerial capabilities. 'We welcome this positive step toward our country joining the Eurofighter Typhoon club, and want to reiterate our mutual ambition to complete the necessary arrangements as soon as possible,' he said. Mr Guler also told reporters that the composition of the planned acquisition was for 40 jets but that different options were being considered. New lease of life for BAE UK factory Separately, the German government - initially opposed to the sale - has cleared the way for the delivery, a government spokesperson said. Spiegel news magazine reported earlier on July 23 that the government's Federal Security Council, which decides on arms export licences based on legal and foreign policy considerations, had made a positive decision on the order for 40 jets. 'I can only confirm that the Ministry of Defence has sent a written confirmation to the Turkish government confirming that the export has been approved,' a government spokesperson said, when asked about the report at a regular press conference in Berlin. The agreements come after weeks of positive statements from Ankara and the Eurofighter consortium on the sale, with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan praising the German and British stance on the issue this week. Britain said negotiations with Turkey over an ultimate sale will continue over the coming weeks. The deal would be the first export order secured by Britain for the jet since 2017 and would give a new lease of life to the final assembly line at BAE's factory in northern England. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the multi-billion dollar agreement with Turkey would 'sustain and protect 20,000 UK jobs for future years to come', while an official at BAE Systems said last week the company was confident of winning new orders from countries, including Turkey.

Rwanda's Kagame appoints central banker as new prime minister
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Rwanda's President Paul Kagame arrives at the African Union Commission (AUC) headquarters during the 38th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, February 15, 2025. REUTERS/Tiksa Negeri/File Photo KIGALI - President Paul Kagame has replaced Rwanda's long-serving prime minister, naming the deputy governor of the central bank, who was once pardoned for a corruption conviction, to the role responsible for the government's day-to-day operations. The appointment of Justin Nsengiyumva, the former prime secretary at the education ministry who holds a PhD in economics from the University of Leicester, was announced by the office of the government spokesperson in a post on X late on Wednesday. The post did not say why the incumbent, Edouard Ngirente, was dropped. Ngirente, who had been prime minister since 2017, thanked Kagame on X, writing: "This journey has been deeply enriching." Kagame appointed Nsengiyumva as deputy governor at the National Bank of Rwanda earlier this year. Nsengiyumva's official biography says he has worked for the British government, including as senior economist for the Office of Rail and Road. Prior to his work in the UK, Nsengiyumva served as permanent secretary at Rwanda's education ministry. In 2008, while serving in that role, he was arrested for alleged corruption and later convicted, according to the state-owned New Times newspaper. Kagame pardoned him in March 2023 alongside 380 others in unrelated cases, the New Times reported. A Rwandan government spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for a comment. Rwanda last held elections in 2024 when Kagame was re-elected with 99.18% of the vote, extending his near quarter-century in office. REUTERS
