Q1FY21 GDP – COVID KILLS GROWTH

about 6 years ago

No one is going to take these numbers too seriously as the data is not 100% given the challenges it had in collection of data on account o the lockdown and pandemic. The markets most certainly did not – it fell today not on account of the expected GDP contraction but due to re-emergence of skirmishes at the India-Chinese border and implementation of the new margin system from September. A fall in GDP was already discounted by the market thus it has moved on beyond Q1.

RBI GOES BEYOND RATE CUTS

RBI CIRCULAR - SQUASHED AND FLATTENED

about 8 years ago

Supreme Court (SC) squashing the “Feb 12th circular” was a shocker! We are now back to square one, forced to go back to the old system which hollowed out the entire banking system. The Feb 12th circular from the RBI was like a sweeping but very stringent way of dealing with India’s mounting NPAs.

FIIs - PUTTING INDIAN MARKETS ON THE MAT

about 12 years ago

There is no doubt that FIIs are calling the shots in our Indian markets. Stocks undulate to the tunes of the FIIs - they upgrade a stock, the price moves up sinuously and if they downgrade, the stock plummets down, as though in a tearing hurry to kiss gravity. But allowing them to hold our markets and financial system to ransom? Behaving in what can be construed as nothing less than blackmailing, maybe it is time to let the FIIs know as to who

He has shown one how if one has the money, he/she can buy anything - right from law to the entire bureaucracy.

31ST MARCH – WHY THE ‘YEAR’ ENDS TODAY?

about 10 years ago

This fiscal year ending actually is a legacy left behind by the British. They followed the accounting period of April to March after they decided to adopt the Gregorian calendar system of accounting. It was the East India Company which first brought in this fiscal and once the British established their rule in India, naturally, all companies started following the same. Other “British colonies” which follow the same accounting year ending are South Africa, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Burma,

LOAN WAIVERS – POLITICAL BROWNIE POINTS BUT ECONOMCIALLY, RED!

The Winter session has finally started and we hope that it does not turn into a Cold War but instead does what a Parliament is supposed to do – debate Bills.

HALLELUJAH! LIFE IS A BOX OF CHOCOLATES FOR SURE!

about 12 years ago

Wow! That's the first thing which one feels on looking at the index and hats off to RBI for springing this surprise rate cut, without waiting for the 7th April policy date.

In that case, this Budget has done nothing for us, we the individual tax payers.

RBI ADOPTS A NEUTRAL STANCE - ALL EYES ON NEW DATA AND BUDGET

about 12 years ago

This was probably the most neutral RBI policy ever, with no guidance, no rate change, no change anywhere.

The strong message which we got was that RBI is jittery about the Indian rupee and has put in place a few clauses to

CREDIT POLICY - KEEPS RATES UNCHANGED, PRAGMATIC OUTLOOK

about 12 years ago

Whew! The much expected, at least by analysts and economists happened - the RBI Governor, Raghuram Rajan did not change the rates; repo, reverse repo and CRR were left unchanged. But the good news here is that RBI has stated in the policy that if the current inflation momentum continues and fiscal developments remain encouraging, a change in the monetary policy stance is likely early next year,

Q2FY15 - GIVES RBI MORE BREATHING SPACE

RBI DOES THE EXPECTED - MAINTAINS STATUS QUO

about 12 years ago

Unless food inflation comes down, RBI would maintain a hawk watch. That was pretty much the writing on the wall and Raghuram Rajan stood by this. As widely expected by all, it was a status quo policy. There was no rate cut in repo rates and no tinkering with SLR or CRR.

COAL SUPPLY FALLS; WILL POWER SUPPLY TRIP TOO?

ROT OF CORRUPTION IN BANKS - STINK HAS SUFFOCATED THE ECONOMY

about 12 years ago

The arrest of CMD of Syndicate Bank for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs.50 lakh from two companies to extend their credit facilities - Bhushan Steel and Prakash Industries is shocking.

DULL POLICY BUT FIRE CRACKER PRESS CONFERENCE!

about 12 years ago

More than the policy, which was more status quo, with minor tweaking, it was the ensuing Press Conference which was more telling.

RAILWAY BUDGET - WILL IT BE ABLE TO WALK THE TALK?

RBI KEEPS STATUS QUO - NO 'APRIL FOOL' PRANK HERE!

about 13 years ago

Looking ahead, it would be too early to start predicting what RBI would do in its next policy as it will continue to be data driven - with monsoon predictions to rule all decisions as it will directly affect inflation. Yet, it we were to read the writing on the wall, rate cuts are not seen anywhere on the horizon, lets only hope that no more rate hikes comes. If inflation soars and monsoon fails, well, a rate cut would be inevitable.
