India Exim Bank’s Working Paper Series is an attempt to disseminate the findings of research studies carried out in the Bank. The results of research studies can interest exporters, policy makers, industrialists, export promotion agencies as well as researchers. The study analyses 7 key creative industries identified by UNCTAD to understand their trade potential. These 7 key industries classified as part of the creative economy include: art crafts, audiovisuals, design, new media, performing arts, publishing, and visual arts.
