(LiveMint) India on Thursday called for greater interlinkages among members of a grouping, straddling South Asian and South-East Asia in trade, transport and digital connectivity as the bloc looks to set its mark as a major growth engine in the Indo-Pacific region.

Bimstec, formed in 1997, has seven members—Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Sri Lanka. It is home to 1.6 billion…
(FE) GDP growth fell during the demonetisation and the GST implementation period of 2016-17, undershooting potential growth of 7.1%.

Looking across sectors, higher government spending and gradually improving rural demand (triggered by non-agricultural activity), could lift growth. Investment has improved, but it is unlikely to accelerate immediately (with election uncertainties and tighter financial conditions). ‘Net exports’ will impart a sizeable drag (due to the likely impact…
(AU) नोटबंदी की घोषणा करते समय सरकार ने इसे नकली नोटों पर लगाम लगाने का प्रयास बताया था। लेकिन भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक (आरबीआई) की तरफ से बुधवार को जारी रिपोर्ट में बताया गया है कि 500 व 1000 रुपये के नोट बंद होने से अन्य मूल्य वर्ग के नोटों में नकली करेंसी का आवागमन बड़े पैमाने पर बढ़ गया है। खासतौर पर नोटबंदी के बाद आए 500 रुपये के नए नोट और 2000 रुपये के नोट की नकल तैयार नहीं हो पाने का सरकार का दावा फ्लॉप साबित होता दिखाई दे रहा है। रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, वित्त वर्ष 2016-17 के…
