World Economic Situation and Prospects


cid:image001.png@01D3EE8E.0525B3C0 
UN: Growth in global economy exceeds expectations, but increased risks could threaten economic outlook 
Global growth expected to exceed 3% for 2018 and 2019 
17 May – Growth in the world economy is surpassing expectations and global GDP is now expected to expand by more than three per cent this year and in 2019, reflecting strong growth in developed countries and broadly favourable investment conditions, a new UN report finds. 
But rising trade tensions, heightened uncertainty over monetary policy, increasing debt levels and greater geopolitical tensions can potentially thwart progress, according to the United Nations World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) as of mid-2018, launched today in New York. 
According to the report, world economic growth is now forecast to reach 3.2 per cent both in 2018 and 2019, an upward revision by 0.2 and 0.1 percentage point, respectively. This revised outlook reflects further improvement in the growth forecast for developed economies due to accelerating wage growth, broadly favourable investment conditions, and the short-term impact of a fiscal stimulus package in the United States. World trade growth has also accelerated, reflecting a widespread increase in global demand. Many commodity-exporting countries will also benefit from the higher level of energy and metal prices. While the modest rise in global commodity prices will exert some upward pressure on inflation in many countries, the report notes that inflationary pressures remain contained across most developed and developing regions. 
Speaking at the launch, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development and Chief Economist Elliott Harris said the upward revision in the global economic forecast reflected in the report is positive news for the prospects of making tangible progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, but cautioned that “there is a strong need not to become complacent in response to upward trending headline figures.” 
“The report underscores that the risks have increased as well and highlights the need to urgently address a number of policy challenges, including threats to the multilateral trading system, high inequality and the renewed rise in carbon emissions,” he added. 
GDP growth forecasts in 2018 have been upwardly revised in nearly 40 per cent of countries since the previous forecast presented in the World Economic Situation and Prospects Report 2018 was released last December. However, some countries and regions are still not sharing in the global cyclical upturn, in many cases due to structural impediments to development. Output is expected to decline in Central and in Southern Africa this year and forecasts have been revised marginally downward for 2018 for the economies in transition–reflecting rising geopolitical tensions–and for the least developed countries (LDCs), where weaker growth prospects are largely driven by a deteriorating situation in Yemen. 
As reflected in the WESP 2018 report, the pickup in economic growth offers policymakers greater scope to address some of the deep-rooted barriers that hamper more rapid progress towards the SDGs. This includes measures and specific policies that can accelerate the process of economic diversification, tackle high and/or rising levels of inequality, support investment in basic infrastructure, and strengthen institutions and governance to build a more transparent and dynamic business environment. Action in these areas could also help build resilience against future economic shocks. 
The multilateral trading system 
The report warns that a shift away from unambiguous support for the multilateral trading system, marked by further trade barriers and retaliatory measures threatens the strength and sustainability of global growth, with potentially large repercussions, especially for developing economies. 
Addressing high inequality 
The report also found that income inequality remains very high in numerous countries, but there is evidence of noticeable improvements in some developing countries over the last decade. These gains reflect temporary cyclical factors, but also illustrate some structural changes. Latin America and the Caribbean region, for example, has made significant progress in reducing inequality in the past 15-20 years, driven by specificpolicy measures related to minimum wages, education and government transfer payments. 
Decoupling economic growth and CO2 emissions 
Accelerated economic growth propelled by fossil fuels, the report found, also bears an environmental cost. Global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions increased by 1.4 per cent in 2017 due to a number of factors including faster global economic growth, the relatively low cost of fossil fuels and weaker energy efficiency measures. Reforming fossil fuel subsides and taxation could speed the pace towards an environmentally sustainable growth that can meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement on climate change.

China U.S. Biotechnology Innovation Center, also known as CUBIC, will serve as a bridge for Chinese companies looking to invest in Houston, and vice versa.
Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute or JITRI, a non-profit group based in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu plans to invest $3 million to $4 million a year to fund research and help companies expand their footprint abroad. The proposed China U.S. Biotechnology Innovation centre, also known as CUBIC, will serve as a bridge for Chinese companies looking to invest in Houston, and vice versa.
To commemorate the partnership, JITRI president Qing Liu and city officials from Houston and Suzhou, China plan to sign a memorandum of understanding in support of JITRI’s endeavor. The agreement also aims to foster deeper relations between Houston and China, including future trade missions, joint projects and exchange programs.
“No matter if a Chinese or American company, we should really work together to face the challenges of the future,” JITRI president Qing Liu said. “We need to work together to have a green earth and better life for all human beings.”
JITRI has been working for about a year to establish an innovation centre that would connect Houston and Suzhou, located about 60 miles northwest of Shanghai. Suzhou and Jiangsu province, home to many high-tech companies, have been looking to partner with Houston, which has one of the world’s largest medical districts, Liu said.
JITRI, one of the top industrial technology research centres in China, has 39 research facilities that specialize in IT, biomedicine and nanotechnology, as well as more than 6,000 personnel and a $300 million research and development budget.
The independent nonprofit, which is funded in part by the Jiangsu government, has an innovation centre in Denmark called the Innovation House.
CUBIC in Houston will have a staff of about 10, including two employees from JITRI in China. Participating U.S. startups and companies will be able to work in the centre and collaborate with Chinese investors and manufacturers looking to do business in the U.S.

BJP’s LG stands exposed of misusing Delhi Police to harass elected representatives



THE SHAMEFUL LETTER FROM BJP’s DELHI LG TO THE POLICE COMMISSIONER
BJP’s LG WORKING AGAINST THE PEOPLE AND ASKING  THE POLICE COMMISSIONER HOW ARE THE AAP MEMBERS OUT OF JAIL ?

Delhi Police has been continuously arresting the elected MLAs of  the AAP on false allegations and made-up cases as ordered by the BJP. The police has tried its level best to prepare wrong chargesheets against the MLAs , in order to defame their image and humiliate them.
AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said in a press conference that the MLAs of AAP are ill treated and their arrest is made public in order to spoil their image. The BJP’s central government was very much interested in the formation of fast track court which according to them could help them in proceeding in the cases against MLAs much faster so that  the CM, ministers and the MLAs of AAP could be sent behind the bars as soon as possible. But in courts of law, truth and justice have prevailed and false cases against elected representatives of Delhi are falling flat one by one.
The court has also warned and scolded the Delhi Police for putting wrong allegations and filing false cases inspired by politics against the innocent.
We were expecting that the LG would write to the Police Commissioner and enquire about how the innocents are being framed and put behind bars for no reason and a detailed investigation should be done on the Delhi Police, which has unfortunately become the personal cell of BJP where they can frame political opponents, make up their own stories and file cases and put anyone in prison.
But to our utter surprise, a shocking evidence has been revealed, which states that instead of enquiring about the careless deeds of Delhi Police, the BJP’s LG has written a letter to the Delhi Police Commissioner, asking about how and why the MLAs are getting acquitted and how cases against them are being quashed one by one, the LG has asked for report from the police that within one week how are the MLAs have been proved to be innocent.
The BJP’s LG is specially bothered about how did  Amanatullah Khan got a dignified release from the jail and the case against him was quashed by the court. The Delhi Police was also scolded for reopening a five year old case again  in 2015, after Amanatullah Khan was elected as an MLA.
This is very unfortunate, that the LG, who holds a constitutional post, is worried about how the Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy CM Manish Shishodia, Kailash Gehlot, Naresh Balyan and Manoj Kumar MLA from Kondli were acquitted in courts, whereas the LG wanted them to be behind bars.
This act of BJP’s LG is really shameful not because he is the LG but because it is not his age to perform so many sins and rather focus on good deeds and earn respect.
It is beyond any reasonable understanding as to why the LG, who is incharge of Delhi Police is misusing this force, instead of concentrating on the safety and security of the residents of Delhi, given the fact that women safety is one of the major concerns of the residents of Delhi.

Japan invest spree in Myanmar


Japanese companies second largest  investor after China in Myanma
Japan is aggressively investing in  Myanmar, even as their European and American counterparts shy away while hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims crisis..
Japan’s businesses to devote a record $1.47 billion to the Southeast Asian nation for the fiscal year ended in March, according to the Japan desk at Myanmar’s Directorate of Investment and Company Administration. The figure, which includes money coming through foreign subsidiaries, made Japan one of the biggest investors in Myanmar for the year. Its previous record was $1.02 billion from fiscal 2014.
By immediate country of origin, China topped the list at over $1.39 billion. But that nation invests less through indirect foreign channels, a DICA source said.
Japanese investment went into property development. Fujita and Tokyo Tatemono are working with a local company on a 16,000-sq.-meter commercial facility near the Shwedagon Pagoda, a tourist attraction in Yangon. The government-backed Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corp. for Transport & Urban Development holds a stake in the project as well.
Kajima was selected by the Japan Conference on Overseas Development of Eco-Cities, a body founded by Japan’s transport ministry, to participate in another project with Myanmar’s government. The two projects are each worth over $300 million.
Companies are eager to make further inroads in Myanmar, which has a population of about 50 million. Many are building new import hubs and working to boost local production, especially in the Thilawa Special Economic Zone near Yangon jointly developed by Japan and Myanmar.
GS Yuasa looks to spend about $100 million through a Thai subsidiary on a new import hub in Thilawa for home and car batteries. JFE Steel is building a plant for hot-dip galvanizing steel, where the JFE Holdings unit plans to produce high-quality steel sheets. And Fumakilla is constructing a factory that will allow local production of its pesticide sprays.
Total investment in Thilawa reached $400 million last fiscal year, with $239 million coming from Japanese companies. A substation built with Japanese official development assistance went online in the zone in February, greatly reducing the risk of a power outage. Roads and other infrastructure are under development as well.
Myanmar received $6.11 billion in foreign investment during fiscal 2017, down by 11% to drop for the second year in a row. But Kazufumi Tanaka, who heads the Yangon office of the Japan External Trade Organization, said investment is not necessarily declining.
“If we look closely, billion-dollar deals like bids on natural gas blocks or [Vietnamese company] Viettel’s investment in the Myanmar mobile market temporarily pushed up the total for fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016,” he said.
Chinese and South Korean companies are investing in cut-make-pack operations in Myanmar’s garment industry, while Unilever was cleared in April 2017 to invest in local production of detergent and shampoo.

CAIT to Challenge Walmart

CAIT WILL CHALLANGE WALMART FLIPKART DEAL
The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT)  has decided to challange Walmart Flipkart deal since the deal is circumventing laws and will offend FDI policy once it is implemented and will create an uneven level playing field beside accomplishing hidden agenda of Walmart to reach out to offline trade through e Commerce way.
CAIT National President Mr B C Bhartia & Secretary General Mr Praveen Khandelwal said that it’s an open fact that Walmart is not an online Company and e Commerce is not its core competence area. Therefore on the basis of money power a bigger game is designed to enter its goods to offline market through the way of online trade. The Government should closely monitor each passage of the deal since its not a merger of two companies but will have greater ramifications on retail trade and economy.
The Trade leaders have informed that their team of lawyers is studying the deal and very shortly CAIT while challenging the deal will move to appropriate Authority and legal recourse. There has to be a policy for such deals otherwise in lust of bigger profit several such deals will happen in future and will be a bad precedent. Virtually slowly and gradually the Indian retail Trade will be control and dominate by the MNCs and an era of predatory pricing, deep discounting and loss funding will prevail to wipe out the competition which will create an unhealthy market. Not only this certain important issues concerning FDI policy, data security, competition, unfair practices etc. have been involved.
Mr.Khandelwal said that key issues of the matter is whoever controls the platform control data and digital intelligence. Therefore, being the controller of the Company, the Walmart may use the data and other information as per its will & wish and the possibility of compromising the data can not be ruled out. Second important aspect is that the Owner can squeeze and dictate anything and as such being the virtual owner, the Walmart will always be in a position to dictate its terms and conditions.Thirdly, it is much more difficult for the Govt to control & regulate foreign owned platforms particularly in e commerce sector which has no boundaries.
Another factor which needs to be taken into account is the situation where a major player controls production to inventory management, marketplace to logistics, payments and delivery and control all this through global controls on data and digital intelligence.It is more vulnerable when there is no policy for e commerce and neither a Regulatory Authority to control & regulate the market.
Mr. Khandelwal has demanded that Government should immediately frame a national policy for e commerce and constitute a Regulatory Authority to regulate and e commerce business in India and till such time, the deal should be put in abeyance by the Government and a close scrutiny should be held in the entire deal.

Taiwan Expo 2018 in New Delhi begins


Image may contain: night and text
Chairman TAITRA in his inaugural address said,  India is prime to become the economic super power of the 21st Century. The world’s 6th largest economy, India is home to vast numbers of institutions, R&D centers and tech-oriented manpower. It is advancing toward a US$5 trillion economy by 2025 and will be the world’s 3rd largest consumer market by 2025. Taiwan and India have also developed close relations in recent years, particularly with respect to trade. As of December 2017, the accumulative investment amount from Taiwan into India reached US$355 million. Similarly, our bilateral trade volume reached US$6.3. billion in 2017, making Taiwan India’s 18th largest trade partner.
At the new office opening ceremony last month, I told my Indian guests:  “the banquet in India has already started”. Our response to the banquet is the Taiwan Expo. We serve our best dishes for Prime Minister Modi to deliver his Make in India, Digital India and Green India policies. Today, I have brought delicacies from Taiwan: Smart Cities, Electric Vehicles, Green Tech, Health Care, Culture & Tourism, and Lifestyle. A total of 130 Taiwanese exhibitors will showcase their latest technologies, products and solutions. I have no doubt we will prove Taiwan to be one of India’s best partners, best allies, and best friends.
This year’s ‘Taiwan Expo in India’ highlights focal points that both respond to current social and economic development and are mutually beneficial. Taiwan Smart City Pavilion is based on three themes: Smart Education, Smart Home and Smart Transportation, and will demonstrate the strength of Taiwanese smart city solutions.
Taiwan Green Products Pavilion is showcasing Taiwanese companies that may provide India with solutions to help manage environmental issues derived from population growth and economic development. Among other issues, these companies promote waste regeneration and lead to a green lifestyle.
Taiwan EV Alliance Pavilion will include renowned EV companies to display Taiwan’s EV technological advantages and supply chain components.
Taiwan Healthcare Pavilion will present the specialties and strengths of Taiwan’s smart medical industry, including medical services, aesthetic medicine, clinical tests, technologies and water purifiers and equipment that have integrated the Internet of Things (IoT) into their products. Taiwan’s latest testing equipment will also be provided on-site and will be available to experience, free of charge.
we will demonstrate Taiwan’s superior lifestyle products. With increasing demands for consumer goods, we will showcase Taiwan’s high-quality agriculture and food products, high-end sports and leisure equipment, high-quality textile fabrics, highly-customized food machinery, and superior Taiwanese design in consumer household products.
Founded in 1970, TAITRA is Taiwan’s foremost nonprofit trade promoting organization. Sponsored by the government and industry organizations, TAITRA assists enterprises to expand their global reach. Headquartered in Taipei, TAITRA has a team of 1,300 specialists and operates 5 local offices in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung as well as 60 branches worldwide. Together with Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC) and Taiwan Trade Center (TTC), TAITRA has formed a global network dedicated to promoting world trade.
Taiwan Expo in India is the most important platform for bringing together Taiwanese and Indian corporates. The Expo begins  in New Delhi on May 17 at Pragati Maidan Hall 11. Expo feature dedicated pavilions such as Taiwan Excellence, Green Products, Smart Cities, EV Alliance, Healthcare, Meet Taiwan, Tourism, Food Processing Machinery and Textiles.
