K R Sudhaman - 2022-02-21 14:40
At a time when India’s goods exports surged towards $400 billion mark and services exports $250 billion mark this financial year, it is really a welcome development that India has signed a comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement (CEPA) with United Arab Emirates (UAE). This is expected to take India’s two way goods trade with UAE to over $100 billion dollars apart from creating lakhs of additional jobs in the country. This is certainly going to act as a major booster to kick-start the economy after Covid Pandemic.

BAD LOANS OF INDIAN BANKS LEAPFROGGED IN LAST SEVEN YEARS

BUSINESS-POLITICAL NEXUS MAY BE BEHIND RISING BANK FRAUD
Nantoo Banerjee - 2022-02-21 14:32
Business is rarely risk free. So are bank loans. There is nothing unusual about non-performing loans or assets. They exist in every economy. But, when business promoters collude with bank management to manipulate loans in their personal favour, they become a matter of serious concern. And, this seems to have become a growing trend in India. The latest report on the promoters of a Gujarat-based ship construction firm, ABG Shipyard, defrauding a consortium of 28 banks and financial institutions to the tune of Rs.22,842 crore should be a cause of worry as the forensic audit by Ernst and Young (EY) consultancy revealed that between 2012 and 2017, the promoters colluded together to illegally divert and misappropriate large funds in criminal breach of trust.

Dr. Gyan Pathak - 2022-02-19 11:29
Modi government resorted to large scale shutdowns of internet connections to quell protests by people against its policies adopted between 2019 and 2021 is now well known, but what is little known is that the internet suspension was effected for 14,280 hours during this period which cost India about $4.7 billion, apart from human rights violations that the orders constituted due to which people suffered invaluable loss. The frequent internet suspensions have led to India even being referred to as the shutdown capital of the world.
