Q. Which of the following is / are examples of invisible exports?

1. A doctor in India providing diagnosis, treatment and medical education for fee in a remote part of Africa
2. A patient in UAE gets treatment in a hospital in Gurgaon in India
3. A smuggler sends gold from India to abroad via illegal channels

Select the correct option from the codes given below
Answer: Only 1 & 2
Notes: Invisible export is basically export of services. The first statement (A doctor in India providing diagnosis, treatment and medical education in a remote part of Africa) is basically mode-1 of WTO’s GATS services trade. Statement 2 (A patient in UAE gets treatment in a hospital in Gurgaon in India) is mode-2 whereby the foreigner consumes services in India. So both these are examples of invisible export. Third one is incorrect.
