Karan Bhatia: 5 Reasons Trade Still Matters

Karan Bhatia GE
June 11, 2015

Trade policy still matters to GE — and every other U.S. company looking to win customers and orders in a global marketplace.

From time to time, I get asked why GE cares so much about free trade. GE is one of the world’s most global companies. Aren’t we so big that we can work around costly trade barriers? Isn’t our technology so competitive that we can withstand other countries’ attempts to unfairly favor their homegrown companies?

January 28, 2013
Just finished three days at the annual World Economic Forum at Davos and thought I’d share a few takeaways.  A caveat:  Davos is kind of like Disney World _ and not just because of the inflated prices, long lines and annoying cult-like followings that both enjoy _ but also because what one takes away depends heavily on which of the many offerings one samples.

Karan Bhatia: GE Must Grow Globally Too, To Compete

The numbers tell the story. 95 percent the world’s population lives outside the United States. The rapidly growing emerging markets will account for half of the world’s GDP within the next three years.
In 2011, 60 percent of GE’s sales were outside the U.S, representing a three-fold increase in exports over the last 10 years. In order to compete, GE must grow both in the U.S. and globally. It’s the only way.

The fact is, when we are able to compete by doing things well all around the globe, we create jobs and value here in the United States and all over the world.

Promoting the Rule of Law Where GE Works

July 27, 2012
One of the biggest challenges that often confront developing countries, and multinational corporations like GE that may operate within them, is building strong indigenous legal institutions — institutions that will foster the rule of law, protect the rights of individuals, and create a predictable and transparent legal and regulatory environment that stimulates investment, trade and economic growth.
