  • Update - US Interest Rates by Adit Jain
    2024/10/16

    The impact of US monetary policy spreads across the entire global economic architecture. Fund flows to emerging markets are directly proportional to interest rate differentials. This is logical, as investors seeking higher returns, move funds out of the United States. More recently, the Reserve Bank of India defied market hopes, leaving interest rates unchanged. Logically, therefore, we should expect greater stability in the value of the rupee, as in the values of the other emerging market currencies. The half per cent point reduction now places the Fed fund rate to be between 4.75% and 5%. The shift in the Fed’s stance towards monetary easing, suggests that inflation is firmly under control, or so the central bank would like to believe.

  • Sri Lanka's Elections by Adit Jain
    2024/10/12

    Sri Lankans, exasperated with corruption and crony capitalism amongst the ruling and business elite, voted for fundamental change. This constituted the basis of the support that drove the victory of Anura Kumara Dissanayake, an outsider from a Marxist political party, in the recently concluded presidential elections. Mr Dissanayake promised to renegotiate the terms of the IMF bailout, eliminate corruption and bring back money siphoned offshore by the previous ruling family – the Rajapaksa. Despite these endearing promises, Mr Dissanayake’s ability to deliver is either limited or completely lacking.

    Clearly, India may have been better-off with a Premadasa victory, as relationships with him and his party are believed to be strong. Be that as it may, Mr Dissanayake may quickly discover that things are quite different when you are in government and actually have to make compromises vis-a vis as an activist.

  • The Global Economy with Adit Jain
    2024/09/30

    The world economy is today delicately poised. America has avoided the recession that analysts have been projecting for over a year, but recent data indicate that it could be at a tipping point. China, meanwhile, is plainly amidst a slowdown while India continues to grow at a fair clip and the Eurozone presents a mixed bag. Guiding the forward view is a highly volatile geopolitical environment, marked by upcoming US elections, a potentially full-blown war in the Middle East and, for India, a new crisis in Bangladesh.

    At recent joint sessions of the India CEO and CFO Forums across cities, Adit Jain, IMA India’s Chairman and Editorial Director, provided a medium-term view for the world economy, set in the context of an increasingly uncertain global politics. This podcast summarises these discussions.

  • Decaying Destinations with Adit Jain
    2024/09/29

    It would be fair to say that India has been blessed with some of the world's most scenic places. Himalayan towns with magnificent views of the Great Himalayan Range, or lesser ranges like the Dhauladhars or the Pir Panjal are stunning from any benchmark.

    The tragedy is that over construction of hotels has created concrete monstrosities. The lack of infrastructure leads to clogged roads and rubbish dumped in scenic forests and in the valleys. Over-tourism has deflated the life out of such places. This is a tragedy, as this podcast explains.
