Celebrating a year of India-UAE CEPA: Impacts and Opportunities

Celebrating a year of India-UAE CEPA: Impacts and Opportunities

The celebration of one year since the signing of the India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) has begun, marked by the establishment of the UAE Chapter of the India Business Council (UIBC-UC), which corresponds to the existing UIBC-India Chapter. The purpose of this initiative is to strengthen trade and investment between India and the UAE, promoting economic ties and fostering prosperity. Now, it is essential to examine the significance of the India-UAE economic partnership and the advantages of the CEPA agreement that have been realized thus far, as we reflect on the past year.

Agreement – India-UAE Economic Partnership

The landmark CEPA agreement—the first-ever bilateral trade deal for the UAE and India’s first FTA foray in the MENA region—was signed on February 18, 2022, to propel economic progress, market openness, regional integration, and strategic cooperation. It aimed to transform India-UAE trade relations by reducing and removing tariffs on over 80% of the product lines (90% in value terms) and augmenting services trade to $15 billion by enhancing market access. The CEPA pact also targeted investment facilitation, targeting $75 billion worth of investments from the UAE, by directing funds to India’s priority sectors and enabling collaboration with SMEs.

However, the biggest CEPA agreement’s opportunity lies in its ability to secure supply chains, thus putting this relationship on track to achieving $100 billion in non-oil annual trade by 2027.

Impact – CEPA

In the eight months since the agreement came into effect on May 1st, 2022, the India-UAE economic partnership has undergone a colossal transformation. Some of the major CEPA agreement benefits are:

  • The bilateral trade value rose 27.5% YOY to reach $57.8 billion in the first eight months of operation in 2022, growing $12.5 billion from last year .
  • In less than a year, non-oil trade between the UAE and India has grown 10 per cent – a surge of $50 billion.
  • Sectors like agriculture, automobiles, electrical machinery, and gems and jewelry reported 39%, 35%, 28%, and 18% value-based export growth, respectively.

Opportunities – India UAE Investment

  • Over 11,000 Indian companies got themselves registered in Dubai in the past year alone, and now their total is in excess of 83,000, signaling a strengthening of bilateral economic linkages.
  • A Dubai Incubation Center for encouraging innovation in logistics was set up by DP World in collaboration with Invest India under the ambit of the CEPA agreement.
  • The Ducab Group launched a Bengaluru-based regional office to provide its metal and cable products to the Indian construction and energy sectors.
  • The CEPA agreement’s impact can also be seen in the sustainability space, with the setting up of a 300 MW renewable energy project in Gujarat and ecological food parks across India.

Prospects – India UAE FTA

That’s not all. With initiatives like virtual trade corridors and the establishment of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority’s offices in GIFT City on the anvil, the India-UAE collaboration is expected to scale higher. UAE’s private sector also plans to invest $2.5 billion in logistics, renewable energy, food processing, and retail projects in Uttar Pradesh.

Last year has been phenomenal, the CEPA agreement has resulted in a fusion of the financial, technological, and human capital of both nations, thereby serving as a fertile ground for economic prosperity and innovative cross-border collaboration. India-UAE CEPA has the potential to become a model for other countries seeking to strengthen economic ties with the UAE. The CEPA agreement has already demonstrated its success in boosting trade and investments between India and the UAE. It has provided a framework for enhanced economic cooperation, including in sectors such as services, investment, and intellectual property. Moreover, the establishment of the India Business Council-UAE Chapter has facilitated further collaboration and networking between the two countries. These developments signify the effectiveness of the India-UAE CEPA as a potential model for other countries looking to deepen economic ties with the UAE.

UAE’s FTZ (Free Trade Zones): A crucial piece in the region’s booming business

UAE’s FTZ (Free Trade Zones): A crucial piece in the region’s booming business

The UAE has steadily established itself as a supply chain nerve center in the 21st century. A significant driving factor behind this can be traced back to the UAE’s free trade zones (FTZs). With 45 free zones in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah and Umm al-Quwain, the region has redefined economic movement and procurement across borders. 

Let’s take a deep dive into what these FTZs are and why they matter. 

UAE’s free trade zones: The revolution driving the region’s business boom 

Free trade zones (FTZs) are designated areas within a country where goods can be imported, manufactured, and exported without being subject to certain taxes and tariffs. They promote economic development and boost foreign investment by providing tax and regulatory incentives to businesses operating in these zones.

FTZs have been pivotal in boosting business in the UAE region. They have diversified economic activity, facilitated more efficient imports and exports, and put the UAE on the map as a preferred investment destination. 

Businesses in FTZs enjoy various benefits like zero duties on imports and exports and significant tax breaks w.r.t income tax and corporate tax. Some free zones also have extremely low minimum share capital requirements, support foreign ownership and may not even require a physical office presence in the UAE. 

Thanks to such incentives, the future of FTZs holds great promise. The Dubai Free Zones Council chairman — Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed — expects that the FTZs in Dubai alone could contribute over $68 billion to the emirates’ GDP by 2030. 

How do FTZs boost the procurement and supply chain in the UAE?

Establishing a business in an FTZ or integrating such free zones in your supply chain could give you a strategic advantage. Firstly, the massive tax breaks in the UAE’s free trade zones could reduce procurement costs. Additionally, passing on the cost benefits to your customers could offer cumulative cost advantages over time, giving you a competitive edge over your peers. 

Operating in an FTZ also comes with stringent reporting regulations. Again, this may seem like a liability, but it directly translates to increased visibility across the supply chain, a valuable procurement advantage. 

Decoding key laws that have impacted business in the UAE

Decoding key laws that have impacted business in the UAE

A study of international supply and trade over the past few years reveals a fascinating insight — the UAE has emerged as one of the largest supply chain nerve centers on a global scale. In its recent study titled ‘Destination Digitalisation: The Future of Logistics, ADQ uncovered predictions that the UAE’s logistics market is poised to grow phenomenally by 2026 — at 8.41% annually to reach the $31.4 billion mark.

Much of the region’s logistics success story can be traced back to the UAE’s favorable procurement supply chain regulations. Here is a preview of some such legal provisions.

UAE’s free zone law

Free zones in the UAE are designated areas where foreign investors can establish and operate a business without needing a local sponsor. Operating in a free zone comes with benefits like 100% foreign ownership, 100% repatriation of capital and profits, more relaxed import and export regulations and, above all, exemptions from certain taxes and tariffs. 

The region’s FDI regulations

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a relatively open policy towards foreign direct investment (FDI) and actively encourages investment in the country through various incentives. FDI regulations in the UAE allow for 100% foreign ownership of companies in most sectors, except for some like oil & gas and media.

By protecting foreign investors through bilateral investment treaties with many countries, the UAE has cemented its position as a central hub for businesses worldwide.

Tax regulations in the UAE

Although the standard VAT rate of 5% applies to the supply of most goods and services within the UAE, some supplies are exempt from VAT or carry a 0% tax rate. For instance, supplies for the export of goods/services to countries outside of the GCC and supplies related to international transportation are subject to zero-rated tax. These beneficial provisions reduce the overall cost of procurement of such supplies in the region. 

Customs regulations in the UAE

The UAE is home to 12 commercial trading ports, and over 60% of the incoming cargo in the GCC arrives through the region’s seaports. Moreover, UAE’s strong and beneficial customs regulations make commercial activity via seaports lucrative for various international suppliers. As a result, the region has exempted all goods imported into FTZs from customs duties. Further, re-exports from these free zones are not liable to duties and taxes. 

Want to expand your business in the UAE? 

If you answered yes, it is vital to understand the different laws in the UAE that impact procurement. This way, you can manage compliance efficiently and take advantage of the laws in the region that promote supply chain mobility. With a procurement supply chain partner like Moglix, you work with business that are complaint with laws and regulations that govern the region, ensuring seamless business setup and operations.

Make the transition to sustainable procurement with this 5-step guide

Make the transition to sustainable procurement with this 5-step guide

With ESG business practices gaining prominence worldwide, sustainable procurement may be more relevant than ever for your business. In theory, sustainable procurement is simple enough; it involves integrating ESG factors into your organization’s supply chain and procurement process. When done right, sustainable procurement can improve your brand reputation, promote better supplier relationships and increase profitability.

Data from the World Economic Forum shows us that sustainable business projects may lead to cost savings of 9% to 16% and can increase revenue by up to 20%. Research by Hackett also reveals that around 92% of companies are already poised to have a sustainable procurement program by 2023.

Your business can also join this league by adopting an immediate and effective action plan to make procurement more sustainable as we journey into a new year.

A simple, 5-step plan to achieve sustainable procurement

Here is what your business can do to make the transition from conventional to sustainable procurement faster and more effective.

1. Identify the critical areas in your supply chain.

Whether you follow conventional sourcing practices or have partial e-procurement implemented in your business, the first step to sustainability involves identifying the areas that matter. For most organizations, the critical areas in the supply chain include sourcing, negotiations, contract management, vendor management and payment, thus completing the procure-to-pay cycle.

2. Evaluate and define sustainable criteria for your business procurement

Once you have identified the key areas in your procurement cycle, evaluate how sustainable (or unsustainable) they are. This will give you a clear idea of how far you have come and how much you need to go. You can then define the sustainable criteria you must meet in each critical area of your supply chain.

3. Perform supplier due diligence

Supplier due diligence may be just as crucial as supplier relationships in the journey to a more sustainable future. Before you sign a contract with a potential supply partner, evaluate their commitment to sustainability and assess if you have shared business values. In the long run, this will make vendor management much more accessible and help you progress more quickly on the path to sustainability.

4. Develop the roadmap for sustainable sourcing

The next step to sustainable procurement is developing a roadmap that makes your strategy for the future clearer and easier to implement. First, identify the critical business practices you want to focus on to future-proof your supply chain sustainably. Automation, paperless contract management, digital transformation and strict adherence to your organization’s ESG goals are essential pillars of your strategy.

5. Roll out your plan and review it periodically.

To complete the action plan towards a more sustainable procurement process, you need to roll out your developed strategy and monitor its implementation. For best results, it is advisable to review your plan periodically, identify weak areas, if any, and work on strengthening sustainable practices within your procurement department.

Do you have the right strategy to reduce indirect procurement costs?

Do you have the right strategy to reduce indirect procurement costs?

Have you successfully implemented a procurement cost savings program, only to discover that your procurement expenses still need to be under control? If you answered yes to that, indirect costs related to procurement might be the weak link here.

While direct expenses are easier to track and control, indirect spending is easier to miss. This is changing now, with around 70% of procurement leaders increasingly shifting focus to regulate indirect spending in their supply chain. Your business can also benefit from this approach. However, the first step of this journey is decoding what qualifies as indirect costs in the procure-to-pay cycle.

What are the indirect spends in your supply chain?

Indirect procurement costs are those expenses that are not directly related to your production cycle or the sale of goods and services. These outlays may still be necessary for various ancillary areas of your business to function smoothly. Some common examples of indirect spending in procurement include the following:

● The cost of renting your office premises

● The cost of procuring IT support

● The expenses incurred on office stationery and supplies

● The purchase of office furniture

● The purchase of maintenance, repair, and operation (MRO) consumables

Three fail-safe ways to reduce indirect procurement costs

Here are three tried and tested strategies to keep your organization’s indirect procurement costs from ballooning beyond the budgeted limit.

1. Identify the vulnerable points in your procurement spending.

To effectively save on indirect costs, you must first identify areas where your business inadvertently spends more than necessary. A quick analysis of your historical procurement spending can help zero in on these weak links. Then, once you know what to cut down on, you can devise a plan to reduce these outlays.

2. Compare your supplier options before making a decision.

MRO procurement, office supplies, furniture, and other indirect heads may not vary significantly in quality from one supplier to another. So, compare your options and partner with a cost-effective solution vendor. Also, indirect procurement is not directly tied to production. This gives you more freedom to choose suppliers and vendors who offer the best value for money.

3. Automate your procure-to-pay system

Reports indicate that complete digital adoption and e-procurement can deliver cost savings of 45% or more. By extension, automation in indirect procurement can single-handedly help reduce wasteful expenditure and improve profitability. It also improves visibility of expenses and make the supply chain for indirect procurement more effective and efficient.

The ever-evolving landscape of supply chain trends

The ever-evolving landscape of supply chain trends

Businesses have not remained immune to the waves of challenges brought forth by the pandemic. Across sector lines and international boundaries, organizations have had to innovate to survive the new normal and, eventually, thrive.

The New Normal

From supply chain constraints to repeated halts in operations, businesses have had to contend with an array of bottlenecks during this unprecedented time ridden with a global pandemic and the war in Ukraine. One of the major trends to emerge has been organizations’ increasing reliance on technology and digital procurement.

Since every link in the value chain has been adversely affected due to a host of reasons, including supply-side shortages, demand-side stagnation, and a general environment of uncertainty, the path to recovery has been forged with equal parts resilience and restraint.

Upcoming Supply Chain Trends for 2022

Due to the dynamic nature of the supply chain, the trends are ever-evolving and hence unpredictable. However, here are some of the key supply chain trends that surfaced in 2021 and are expected to stay true in 2022:

Widening the value chain basket: One of the main learnings for organizations during the pandemic is the lacunae caused by overreliance on one or two supply chain partners. Businesses are increasingly putting their eggs in different baskets by collaborating with a wider range of suppliers, marketers, and distributors. Though this means increased business coordinations, negotiations etc. across the value chain, organizations that enable seamless digital procurement have come to the industries rescue through their ability consolidate scattered vendor base on a single platform

1. Technology and automation to the rescue: In the wake of the pandemic, businesses are emphasizing leveraging technology to achieve higher accuracy in demand forecasting, production planning, and marketing strategy. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are increasingly being applied to ensure minimal disruptions in the supply chain. Data generated with the help of these emerging technologies are being constantly employed to identify potential areas of growth in business.

2. Building resilience against the global logistics disruption: The widespread disruption of the global logistics chain has caused businesses severe headaches and compelled them to build resilience to production delays, raw material shortfalls, and extremely volatile demand trends. This has driven a drastic restructuring of the supply chain for the better.

3. Supply Chain Trends in the UAE

Being a key member of the GCC, the UAE has robust free trade associations with several countries. In addition to this, the country has bilateral trade agreements with India, The Netherlands, etc. Recently, UAE announced its intention to deepen its ties with growing economies. Some of its business negotiations with countries like India, Turkey, and Indonesia seem to indicate a positive trend in this direction.

Some of the recent supply chain trends in the UAE are:

  1. A rise in the prominence of e-commerce and related logistics
  2. Growth of the pharmaceutical sector
  3. Easing of duties on import-exports
  4. Growth of bilateral agreements for trade

The Foreign Trade Ministry of UAE feels that these trade pacts are bound to increase foreign direct investment and enhance business growth in terms of volumes.

Choose Moglix To Stay Ahead of the Curve

The outlook for the UAE logistics market seems to hint at a robust 6.5% CAGR projection for the period of 2022-2027. With supply chain trends picking up pace in what we see as a potential post-pandemic world, it is important for businesses to stay ahead of the curve in order to maximize value.

If you are looking to transform your supply chain and focus on digital procurement, Moglix can help you stay ahead of the curve. We aim to optimize strategic procurement and bring in supply chain efficiency for organizations across various sectors, including manufacturing, infrastructure, and Oil and Gas in the UAE.

Strategies To Address Procurement Woes In a Volatile Supply Chain Market (Turning Chaos Into Control)

Strategies To Address Procurement Woes In a Volatile Supply Chain Market (Turning Chaos Into Control)

Part Two – The Solutions

As discussed earlier in part 1 of this blog, the global COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing war have forced organizations to withstand a highly volatile supply chain environment. The prevailing procurement environment is costlier due to the exponential rise in the cost of shipping and increased operational costs. In addition to these reasons, continuing exclusive use of the existing legacy technologies and switching to spot bidding for logistics by the organizations are adding burden to the businesses. As a wise option for surviving the highly volatile supply chain environment, businesses should turn their focus to digital procurement and technology.

From Chaos to a Semblance of Control

Faced with an array of challenges, including higher costs of freight, reduced revenue, extreme pressure on bottom lines, and persistence with obsolete legacy systems, businesses are increasingly turning to technology and digital procurement to ensure their supply chain and sourcing strategies can keep up with the high volatility of the market.

Here are some of the solutions businesses are adopting to attain excellence in their logistics management.

1. Evolution, Adaptation, and Responsiveness: A high degree of volatility in the supply chain and the business environment calls for a correspondingly high degree of adaptation on the part of businesses. This is why most businesses are switching to Dynamic Market Sourcing.

As opposed to Traditional Cycle Sourcing, its dynamic counterpart enables organizations to constantly assess the market, have better communication with their supply chain partners, and manage the ever-changing landscape of freight costs, and the influx of new suppliers.

2. Leveraging technology to stay ahead of the curve: In this day and age, businesses are largely driven by data. With high fluctuations on the demand and supply side alike, businesses must leverage technology and data-based insights to be as dynamic and adaptive as possible.

From better demand forecasting to an increased emphasis on automation, there are myriad ways through which the challenges of a highly volatile supply chain can be met head-on and with success.

3. Risk management: Risk is an integral facet of any business, and the higher the accuracy of risk assessment is, the higher an organization’s chances to mitigate risks in an efficient manner. One of the key strategies in managing supply chain-related risks is having multiple suppliers instead of one or two.

Another solution is to always be prepared by analyzing market trends and conducting what-if analyses. This way, your organization can be well placed to deal with a high-risk situation. Risk assessment is, in many ways, akin to an airbag in a vehicle. It protects your business from potential crashes.

The Future of Supply Chain

You can now bring digital procurement to the forefront of your business and excel in a highly volatile supply chain environment by relying on Moglix’s Integrated Procurement Solutions, Automated Workflows, and Catalog-Based Buying Solutions, amongst others, to revolutionize your business’s approach to logistics.

Strategies To Address Procurement Woes In a Volatile Supply Chain Market (Turning Chaos Into Control)

Strategies To Address Procurement Woes In a Volatile Supply Chain Market (Turning Chaos Into Control)

Part One: The Challenges

Change is the only constant and the global COVID-19 pandemic had brought this universal truth home in an unprecedented manner. Businesses across the globe had found themselves faced with severe supply chain and sourcing challenges, leading to higher volatility and higher risk. In the face of such bottlenecks, traditional approaches to supply chain and logistics management were no longer effective or feasible.

Viability amidst volatility

It is no secret that one of the things that make businesses thrive is stability in processes. The pandemic and the ongoing war, however, disturbed the very foundations of stability and compelled organizations to withstand a highly volatile supply chain environment. Here are some of the challenges faced in the prevailing procurement environment:

1. Building capacity is now costlier: One of the main characteristics of the present sourcing market is the exponential rise in the cost of shipping. The rise in container freight and air freight has made it drastically difficult for businesses to build and sustain capacity and stability. For instance, before the pandemic struck the world, the freight for the China to USA route was around $1,500 (for a 40-foot container). This price is now anywhere between $10,000 to $15,000, making it financially nonviable.

2. Preserving the bottom line is now harder: With the rising cost of materials as well as shipping costs, organizations are increasingly grappling with higher operational costs. The problem is exacerbated by the constant decline in demand and, in turn, revenues. The combined effect is a significant drop in the bottom line of organizations.

3. Continuing with Legacy technologies: At a time when digital procurement is being looked at as a key driver to solve businesses’ supply chain woes, several organizations are still continuing with old and obsolete legacy systems. Not only are those systems time-consuming and cost-heavy, but they are also non-responsive to factors such as price compression, capacity changes, etc.

4. Switching to spot bidding for logistics: Traditionally reliant on annual freight contracts with low prices, businesses now have to manage the necessary switch to spot pricing in logistics. The restrictions in the capacity and movement of air cargo in the wake of the pandemic have brought spot price bidding to the fore, placing a higher than ever before pressure on their operational costs.

The Bottom Line

In order to survive and thrive amidst a highly volatile supply chain environment, businesses must turn to digital procurement and technology.
