Israel-Hamas Conflict: Indian Exporters May Face Higher Risk Premiums, Shipping Costs

Indian exporters shipping goods to Israel may see an increase in insurance premiums and shipping costs due to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The conflict, which involved a surprise multifront attack by Hamas, may impact profits for Indian exporters. The Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India may charge higher risk premiums for exports to Israel. While trade volumes may not be significantly affected at this stage, disruptions at major ports like Haifa, Ashdod, and Eilat could have a more serious impact. The duration and intensity of the war will determine the real impact on trade.
