Why this matters

Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status is a principle of non-discrimination in international trade, ensuring that a country treats all its trading partners equally. An MFN agreement between India and the EU, two major economic blocs, signifies a significant step towards a comprehensive trade deal, potentially boosting trade volumes and economic cooperation by lowering barriers and standardizing rules.
