“The Mother of All Trade Deals” — EU × India

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has stated that the European Union is close to finalising a historic trade agreement with India, describing it as “the mother of all deals.” The proposed agreement would create a market of nearly 2 billion people, representing around one-fourth of global GDP. It is expected to significantly enhance trade, investment, and strategic cooperation across key sectors, while strengthening global supply chains and economic ties between two major economic blocs. If concluded, the deal could mark a defining moment in global trade relations.
