Federal austerity measures and war will reduce the GDP of emerging economies by 2.4 percent

Image
The US Federal Reserve has been aggressively raising interest rates to curb inflation. In response, other countries are adopting similar policies to protect their currencies. A one percent increase in interest rates in the US reduces GDP by 0.5 percent in developed countries and 0.8 percent in emerging economies three years later. In this context, if interest rates in the US increase by 3 percent after the Ukraine war, it could reduce the GDP of emerging economies by up to 2.4 percent. Rising interest rates in the US are doing more than derailing global growth. This poses a threat to macroeconomic stability in developing countries. Because these economies are heavily burdened with foreign debt. The ratio of exports to external debt in developing economies averaged 127 percent, an 18 percent increase from the turbulent period of 2013. This was the period when central banks were struggling to buy bonds. This is especially important for low-income and lower-middle-income countries. Ea...

There needs to be a different approach to the issue of disinvestment process

Image
The central government should review its stance on disinvestment. Over the years it was used as a measure to reduce the fiscal deficit. However, the government often failed to achieve the targets set out in the budget. Even during the current financial year, the government has so far not been able to collect even half of the target amount. However, the government is confident that it will be able to meet its fiscal deficit target of 6.4 percent of GDP as it is well positioned on the tax revenue front. Expected marginal growth due to higher inflation will help control the deficit due to higher spending on the other hand. This is a good time to focus on the disinvestment process as budget pressures are relatively low this year. Reliance on disinvestment has to be removed to limit the fiscal deficit. The government should use the disinvestment program to achieve broader goals for example there is no reason for the government to retain its investment in so many companies and that too wh...

Who will benefit from MSME policy of Gujarat government?

Image
- Antenna : Vivek Mehta The Gujarat government announced the new MSME policy on October 5. However, the biggest issue is the withdrawal of capital subsidy for those who invest more than 1 crore and up to 50 crore. As of today, Rs. Even a small industry cannot be set up in 1 crore. In this situation Rs. Announced to give benefits to industries up to 1 crore, so that benefit will only reach the cottage industries.' Employment Link Incentive Scheme has been provided in the new industrial policy. It will also create a new manufacturing sector in Gujarat.

In fact, the number of industries falling under the category of small in the country is also very large which will not get the benefit of subsidy from now on.'

Companies turn to forensic experts to stop moonlighters

Image

Companies also aim to control regulations because the problem is out of bounds.

Image
- Commodity Current : Jayavadan Gandhi The new year of Vikram Samvat 2079 is full of many challenges for the commodity sector. There has been a significant increase in business after coming out of Corona in the last year, but after the Russia-Ukraine war, there was a boom in the supply of grains, edible oils and metals. Is going. While China is mostly engulfed in the corona epidemic, the import-export has also been affected. The increase in interest rates in America and European countries last year has also affected the global business of gold and silver as the rise in inflation and dollar strength.

- Confusion of economics: Dhawal Mehta - Sri Lankan economy crippled by lack of foreign exchange... The year 2023 is bad The events that are happening in the economic field of India and the world are not good only for India but also for the world's largest economic power, America. Recently, there has been a huge depreciation in the Indian rupee. In English, this is called depreciation of an Indian rupee. The price (value) of one dollar jumped the level of 82 rupees. On January 3, 2022, the price of one dollar was 74.26 rupees. Copenses says that the price of one dollar increased from 74.26 rupees to around 82 rupees, so we should be happy.

Don't do awards, print photos of real people on the notes

- Smile Index : Vanity - It is like trying to draw from Aadhaar to find a lucky citizen for a picture on it to strengthen the rupee It is said to describe a very clever or often an unintelligent person, that is a very big note, similarly there are many false coin-like people floating around us. Although many people have become persona mati institutions or brands, the persona mati has not actually become a note. Gandhibapu is an exception to this. He has become a person, an organization, a brand as well as a photograph on the note. The funny thing is that no one ever asked Gandhiji, who fought to rule the country according to his will, whether you want to be called Bapu or Father of the Nation or printed on banknotes. Had Gandhiji known that many fake notes were going to be issued in his name, he would have expressed his desire to remove his photos on the notes. It remains to ask Gandhiji's wish that many great personalities like Gandhiji have received many honors only after t...

Huge fine to Google for exploiting Indian developers

Image
- Google, which used its dominance in the Internet world to squeeze Indian IT companies, took it for granted by the Indian authorities. - In fact, giant corporate companies like India's Reliance should allocate money to create a search engine like Google. No concrete thoughts have been made in this direction yet - Competition Commission of India (CCI) has fined Google a total of Rs 2,274 crore in the last one month: Indian developers welcome the verdict Even though the Competition Commission of India (CCI) has not hit a big tiger by imposing a penalty of lakhs of rupees on Google, which earns billions of dollars, the internet giant's ears have become so loud that it has screamed.

Increase in tax revenue but decrease in tax GDP ratio

Image
- Higher tax collection should also be assessed on the basis of how much revenue has increased in line with the expansion of the economy to a random size. The tax collection figures for the first half of the current financial year have been released recently. The data indicates that the collection has increased significantly. Direct taxes, which mainly include corporation tax and personal income tax, have increased by 24 percent, while goods and services tax (GST) has seen a 31 percent increase. Excise and Customs figures are only five months old and have declined by 17 percent and 14 percent respectively. However, the trends emerging from these figures are indicative of tax collection. From a general budget perspective and a fiscal deficit target of less than 6.4 percent of GDP, the tax collection figures are arguably better. Gross revenue collection for 2022-23 is projected to grow at a rate of less than two per cent, well above the target of 19 per cent growth recorded in the firs...

A constant complaint is that the service sector of the country is not getting the same incentives as the manufacturing sector

Image
As part of boosting services sector exports from the country, the Ministry of Commerce is undertaking a comprehensive overhaul of the Services Exports from India Scheme (SEIS). The Ministry of Commerce intends to provide support to the service sector affected by the pandemic, especially the export operations of education, hospitality, tourism and healthcare. The scheme is expected to be a part of the foreign trade policy which is currently extended for 6 months. The new scheme will exclude the Information Technology (IT) sector from any incentives. The IT sector accounts for the largest share of the country's total service sector exports and is not covered under the purview of SEIS. No incentives have been announced for service sector exports during the last two financial years. SEIS was part of the Foreign Trade Policy of 2015.
