NEW YORK: Most US high-tech companies expect to export more cellphones, tablets and other electronics over the next two years to growing middle-class populations in developing nations, citing free trade pacts and rising labour costs abroad, a survey found.
About 85% of US high-tech executives polled said the Obama administration was somewhat or very likely to meet its goal of doubling exports by 2015. Just 40% of executives were as optimistic two years ago after the export target was set.
