In this week's News Roundtable episode, Chris is joined by Chief Economic Adviser and a board member at the Centre for Economics and Business Research, Vicky Pryce, Labour National Executive Committee member, Jess Barnard and journalist and US and UK political commentator, Edward Hardy.Jess outlines her hopes and fears about the Labour Party – hoping that Labour wins the general election, but fearing that Starmer won't deliver any meaningful change. Vicky provides the economic forecast - how inflation may continue to improve and how the geopolitics of global conflicts like that in the Middle East, Ukraine, and potentially in Taiwan will affect our domestic economy. What will happen to UK interest rates in 2024? For your information, Jess mentions anti-BDS laws in which BDS stands for boycotts, divestment and sanctions. In this context the BDS movement aims to put diplomatic pressure on Israel to observe international law. Edward Hardy updates us on the stalemate of the Ukraine-Russia war and his analysis of British-US diplomacy surrounding Israel's bombardment of Gaza. Update: On Tuesday, Gaza's health ministry said 22,185 Palestinians have now been killed in Gaza since October 7th. 507 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the war began, on top of the approx. 1,200 Israelis killed by Hamas on the 7th of October. This opens up a fascinating discussion about Britain's diplomatic role to play (or not to play) in this conflict. Chris turns the conversation to the US – who will be the Democratic nominee? Will Biden run despite universal disapproval over his age? Is it possible that Trump will put his ego aside and not run? What would another Trump presidency mean for the US and the world?Finally, Chris asks each panellist their one high-impact prediction of the year – and they all give very different answers!'I Hit The Nail Right On The Head' by Billy Bremner. © Fridens liljor/Micke Finell.Rock around the clock productions AB.www.rockaroundtheclock.co This episode was produced by Tom PlattsThis podcast is published by New Thinking: www.newthinking.com Explore New Thinking podcasts via our website: www.newthinking.com/podcasts
India has ambitiously tasked itself to leap to the next level on the development ladder to a “developed India” tag by 2047. The country is categorised as an “Aspirational Society,” aiming to seize the opportunities provided by an economy that maintains steady and high economic growth. This society aspires for better living standards, including the bare necessities, better health care, education, clean water, sanitation facilities, affordable housing, electricity and the internet. The big tent of India's social infrastructure must reach a diverse and expansive populace, transcending cultures, languages, and geographies, after all! The Government is thus making all efforts to live up to this challenge and demands of society, as economic growth without shared prosperity and well-being is devoid of meaning. A vast ground has been covered to ensure sustainable and equitable economic growth. However, the journey continues with fresh challenges and innovative solutions. In this episode of BIC Talks, Chief Economic Adviser, V Anantha Nageswaran takes us through the journey that the country has made in the recent past and details the steps forward.

In a couple of weeks Jeremy Hunt, this month's Chancellor, will present his Autumn Budget, heavily overseen by Rishi Sunak, our latest Prime Minister. So what can we expect? The noises from Downing Street are suggesting we have to prepare for some bad news, with difficult choices supposedly being made about how to get the budget back on track. Does that mean more austerity? Higher Taxes? Or both? And who will feel the hurt the most.Vicky Pryce, Chief Economic Adviser at the Centre for Economics and Business Research, suggests there's a danger that the government will go too far, whilst hurting those who feel cuts the most. For example, increasing welfare payments in line with growth in wages rather than prices will save £13 billion per year, but who is paying the price for that? Certainly not those who got rich from asset investments when interest rates were low.So just how does the government perform the magic balancing act of reducing debt, compensating for inflation and supporting energy costs, without slowing the economy to a trickle? Join Vicky with Roger and Phil, discussing what should be in the Hunt-Sunak budget. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The government on Friday appointed 59-year-old V Ananth Nageswaran as the Chief Economic Adviser, a post which was lying vacant for the last over one month after incumbent Krishnamurthy Subramanian quit and returned to academia. Subramanian announced his decision on October 8 last year, just before the budgetary exercise for FY23 was to begin. And he demitted the office on December 17, 2021. After about four months of hunting, the government last Friday announced the name of 59-year-old V Ananth Nageswaran for the top post. An IIM graduate and former member of Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council, Nageswaran has hit the ground running. Although he wasn't part of the budget making exercise and didn't author the Economic Survey, he was seen answering questions during the customary post-Economic Survey media briefing on Monday. In his first public appearance as the CEA, Nageswaran said the growth projections in the Economic Survey were conservative and the assumption that crude oil prices will average at $70-$75 a barrel through the year is realistic. Nageswaran is a man of many facets. He is a writer, author, professor, macroeconomist and a consultant. After completing his schooling and undergraduate degree in Tamil Nadu's Madurai, he earned a Post Graduate Diploma in Management from the country's top-ranked business school IIM Ahmedabad in 1985. For the next five years, he worked as a Deputy Manager at Chennai Petroleum Corporation. In 1995, he obtained a PhD in Finance from the University of Massachusetts, where his dissertation was on 'Empirical Behaviour of Exchange Rates'. His post-doctoral corporate career spanned seventeen years from 1994 to 2011 across Switzerland and Singapore. During this period, he has been a Currency Economist at UBS and head of Research and Investment Consulting in Credit Suisse Private Banking in Asia, and Head of Asia Research and Global Chief Investment Officer at Julius Baer. Nageswaran took to consulting, writing and teaching from July 2011. He has taught at several business schools and institutes of management in India and in Singapore. Currently, he is a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Krea University's IFMR Graduate School of Business, where he was also a Dean for a short while. In October 2019, he was appointed as a part-time member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister for a period of two years. He has co-authored four books - The Rise of Finance – Causes, Consequences and Cures, Derivatives, Can India Grow?, The Economics of Derivatives. He serves as Independent Director on the boards of Sundaram Fasteners, TVS Tyres and Delphi-TVS. He helped co-found the Takshashila Institution, an independent centre for research and education in public policy Nageswaran has been writing columns commenting on economic developments for 15 years. In his articles, he had criticised demonetisation but later also spoke on the effects it had in aiding formalisation. Last year, he advocated for a one-time additional tax on corporates and before the farm laws were repealed he wrote that policymakers should have wider consultations Economist Rathin Roy, the managing director of Overseas Development Institute and a former member of the Economic Advisory Council to the PM described Nageswaran as an accomplished policy professional who will bring much needed expertise back to the finance ministry. Nageswaran has taken charge at a time when household consumption continues to be stressed and job creation remains a concern. His expertise across a range of matters will help him in advising the finance minister on these challenges. And we can see the results from his primary responsibility of drafting the Economic Survey next year. Watch video
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharam is set to present the paperless Union Budget for the financial year 2022-23 at 11am tomorrow. This will be her third Budget since taking over as India's first full-time female Finance Minister in May 2019. And today at 12pm, the Economic Survey 2022 will be tabled in Parliament. The Survey acts as an annual report card of the economy and also contains suggestions to the government on policy matters. It is traditionally prepared by the Chief Economic Adviser. This year however, in the absence of a chief economic adviser, the principal economic advisor and other officials are preparing the survey. Similarly, in 2014, the Economic Survey was prepared by senior economic advisor Ila Patnaik and not by chief economic advisor who is usually the architect of the survey. Meanwhile, the government on Saturday announced Dr V Anantha Nageswaran as the new chief economic adviser of the country. The post had fallen vacant after Krishnamurthy Subramanian returned to academia after completing his three-year term on December 6 last year. The last three Economic Survey reports prepared under the guidance of Subramanian were way off the mark in predicting growth numbers. Off late, making GDP projections has become tricky. The pandemic has further complicated it. Last year's Economic Survey projected the growth rate of 11% for the current financial year. The first advance estimates put it at 9.2%. In FY20, the economy contracted by 7.3% while the survey had projected a 6-6.5% growth. A business daily -- while citing officials -- claimed that the Economic Survey could forecast the real economic growth for fiscal 2023 to be lower than the 9.2% estimated for the current financial year. Meanwhile, the Budget session starting today with the address of President Ram Nath Kovind, will be conducted in two phases. The first part will go on till February 11. And after over a month in recess, the session will resume on March 14. It will conclude on April 8. Just-concluded Winter Session of Parliament was a complete washout when it comes to economic bills. The government didn't table key bills including the one on privatisation of two public sector banks and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. And experts believe that the government may not table them in the first half of the Budget session due to the same challenge it had faced earlier -- the elections in five states. Despite the sale of Air India, the government looks all set to miss its disinvestment target of Rs 1.75 trillion for FY22. Apart from the privatisation, the implementation of the labour codes and proposed reforms in the power sector are also lined up. Another crucial bill hanging fire is Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, which experts believe is unlikely to be tabled in this session too. Meanwhile, apart from the employment-generating measures, the government's fund allotment for the country's healthcare sector will also be keenly watched. Last year, the government had allocated just 1.8% of the GDP to health. Opposition Congress on Friday said that it will work closely with like-minded parties during the Budget session and jointly raise matters of public importance, including farmers' issues and border dispute with China. Last year, the Budget session was cut short by 14 days in the wake of assembly elections in several states. This year too five states - Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa -- are going to polls between February 10 to march 7. With the pandemic affecting low income segments the most, near-term measures to support incomes and boost househol
Oil prices have been on an unabated uptrend for more than a month now. From a low of $69 per barrel, hit on December 1, 2021, Brent crude prices are above $86 per barrel now. This amounts to an approximate jump of 25% in four weeks. Last Friday, crude prices notched a fourth positive week, its longest rising streak since October. This is because consumption has held up despite the spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. At the same time, spare capacity is dwindling as some of the world's biggest producers struggle to boost output. And now, analysts are predicting higher oil prices citing limited capacity, insufficient investment in new production, and the strength of demand. Technically, too, one can expect Brent Crude hitting $88 per barrel-mark. According to a report by Reliance Securities, if Brent March contracts hold above $85.50 level, they could continue their bullish momentum up to $87-$88. But, what does all of this mean for India? Remember, the Indian government is set to unveil its Budget for FY23 in about two weeks from now. And the document has a major influence on the price of petrol and diesel. Given that five state elections are due next month, analysts don't expect the govt to raise the prices of petroleum products. It is estimated that every $10 rise in crude prices raises fiscal deficit by 10 basis points. Moreover, higher cost of petroleum imports worsens the current account deficit too. Given this, VK Vijayakumar, chief investment officer at Geojit Financial Services believes rising crude prices can pose problems to the finance minister's pursuit of fiscal consolidation in the budget. Rising crude prices and inflation will also force the RBI to withdraw from the accommodative monetary policy it has been following for the last two years. Echoing similar views, Devendra Kumar Pant, chief economist at India Ratings and Research says prices may be passed on to consumers if the govt doesn't cut petrol prices. That said, M Govinda Rao, Chief Economic Adviser at Brickwork Ratings says, “With the impact of the third wave hurting growth, the RBI will be slow in raising interest rates so long as the inflation rate is below 6%. It must also be noted that the weight of fuel and light in the consumer price index is just 6.84. Therefore, the impact of oil prices on overall inflation will not be large.” Thus, while rising crude oil prices may disturb the govt's fiscal maths, here's how investors can benefit from the same. According to IIFL Securities, if Brent was to average at $85/bbl for FY23, on unchanged costs, it can potentially lead to 11-14% net profit upgrade for ONGC and Oil India Ltd. Similarly, OMCs may see 14-16% upgrade to FY23 PAT, assuming they revise pump prices; RIL's earnings will also see an upgrade of 5%. Other oil-linked stocks such as Pidilite Industries, Berger Paints, and Hindustan Oil Exploration Company are eyeing up to 11% upside on tech charts. Against this backdrop, rising crude oil prices may keep indices volatile in the near-term. Q3 results of Bajaj Finance, LTTS, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, and Tata Elxsi and other global cues will also guide the markets on Tuesday. Watch video

The absence of an external sector can put developing countries in the vicious circle of developing status. While the presence of it advocates for the assessment, “how good we are doing compared to the competing economies”. The exchange rate parity is considered as a reflection of this relative performance. Therefore, the understanding of history and exchange rate management is very vital. Therefore, the discussion on the overvalued exchange rate and the undervalued exchange rate is one of the heated topics in Asia countries.In this backdrop, this webinar will be an attempt to serve three essential objectives:First, a brief history of exchange rate management in PakistanSecond, to assess the exchange rate performance and its impact on the economic activities of Pakistan.Third, what is the way forward keeping the present scenario of the economy of Pakistan in view.

University of Chicago professor Casey Mulligan on his time as Trump’s top economic adviser.
Casey Mulligan served as the chief of Trump's Council of Economic Advisers from July 2018 to June 2019. During that time, he experienced a different version of the events that have made recent headlines (i.e., Ukrainegate) in other White House "tell-alls."Mulligan's new book, You're Hired! Untold Successes and Failures of a Populist President, has much the same cast of characters as Bolton's recent memoir, but it follows a very different script. Mulligan is an economics professor at University of Chicago and, as such, the focus of his book is on ideas – not attitude. However, we do learn a great deal about the personalities working behind the scenes, including that of the "Tariff Man" himself.Professor Mulligan joins me this Sunday to tell the story of his time crafting analysis and advice on regulations, international trade, immigration and prescription drug policy for the President. A picture emerges of a politically incorrect president who has a hard time admitting he is wrong, but who also listens to his economic advisers (in most situations).Hear from the man who has been called “the smartest man in the White House” how he used supply and demand to advance one of the biggest deregulatory pushes in recent history. Is Trump genuinely opposed to Washington insiders and special interests, or is it a self-serving act to appeal to his populist base?We will compare the legacies of Reagan and Trump on the vital issue of international trade and will also discuss how the continuation of generous unemployment benefits is adding to the costs of pandemic and delaying economic recovery.

Coronavirus has transformed the activity of government, but the immediate crisis won't last forever. Big choices for citizens and government lie on the horizon.

And what changes will be required of the civil service to fit the post-Corona landscape?On the panel to discuss these issues are:Rt Hon Lord O'Donnell, former Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil ServiceBen Page, CEO of Ipsos MORIVicky Pryce, Chief Economic Adviser at the Centre for Economics and Business Research and former joint head of the Government Economic Service.The discussion is chaired by Alex Thomas, Programme Director at the Institute for Government, with an introduction by Panos Kakoullis, CEO-Elect at PA Consulting.

President Ram Nath Kovind while addressing a joint session of Parliament on January 31said that apart from the geographical distance of the Northeast with Delhi, it was the emotional disconnect that had disheartened the people of the region. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has changed this through intense work in the last five years, he said. Kovind also spoke about the agreement signed by Tripura, Mizoram, the Bru community and the Central government which has brought solution to the problem of displaced refugees in the area. He also said that he was happy that both Houses of Parliament passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Act to fulfill the dreams of those who built our country. The President said that the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A of the Constitution by two-thirds majority in both the Houses of Parliament is “historic” as it paves the way for equitable development of Jammu – Kashmir and Ladakh. Bank employees throughout the country will go on a two-day-long strike starting today after management refused to agree to the demands of bank employees' union who were asking for a 20% pay hike, a 5-day work week among others.

After this, Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India (CEA) Dr Krishnamurthy V Subramanian spoke about some of the main points of this year's survey. In a globalized economy, India too has felt the effect of a slowdown, the CEA said. He added that all groups of countries have slowed down, in a globalized economy and that India too has felt the effect. Peaks and troughs in business cycle phenomena show that we have hit a trough as regards economic growth, hopeful of achieving 6.0-6.5% GDP growth in 2020-21. A two-day long Kalaguru Sangeet Mahotsav 2020 began this Friday at Tangla HS playground in Tangla town of Udalguri district. There will be an singing competition to tap budding singing talents.

Replying to a question in Rajya Sabha, the Minister for Road Transport and Highways has revealed that the government is selling personal data related to vehicle registration and driving licenses at a price of Rs 3 crore. The Minister further revealed the department has already earned a revenue of Rs 65 crores from the sale of this data. The Economic Survey of 2018-19, a yearly government document of the state of the economy proposed new ways to achieve a trillion-dollar data economy for India. The Chief Economic Adviser has dedicated an entire chapter for data, title “Data of the People, by the people and for the people”. In this chapter, he proposed plans of the government to sell data collected as part of welfare activities like PDS distribution and National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme to be sold to private sector to further fund welfare activities. The Economic Survey calls for treating data as a public good and proposes the sale of data to the private sector as other countries sell public data like bus timetables in the UK. To further promote and enable this data economy, the survey proposes interlinking of databases to build a giant database using Aadhaar. It proposes to shift the practice of collecting data using paper to digital. The survey not only recommends building the new infrastructure of government data, it recommended active sale of it assuming the data protection law was already tabled in parliament. In this episode, host of Cyber Democracy, Srinivas Kodali, discusses "the economy of data" with Professor Reetika Khera of IIM Ahmedabad.

Mohamed El-Erian’s career has been at the top end of economic advice. Along with writing several best-selling books, he spent 15 years at the International Monetary Fund, headed the investment giant PIMCO, advised President Obama on global development and is now the chief economic adviser at the insurance company, Allianz. The American economy is booming. Growth is well above 3% and unemployment is near a 50 year low. President Trump claims it’s the best it has ever been and has claimed the credit for that. But he’s threatening a trade war with China at a time when many economists are warning that the US and the world face another recession. Hardtalk’s Sarah Montague asks Mohamed El-Erian, if he sees dark days ahead for the American - and therefore the world’s - economy? (Photo: Mohamed El-Erian)

In this week’s NL Hafta, the panel consists of Abhinandan, Manisha and Anand. Revati Laul, a renowned independent journalist and filmmaker joined as a guest.The discussion kicks off with Saifuddin Soz, a senior Congress party leader in Kashmir, who recently launched his book titled, Kashmir: Glimpses of History and the Story of Struggle. Saifuddin Soz had also made a statement earlier which said that Kashmiris want Azadi. Commenting on Saifuddin Soz, Anand says, “As a political leader of a nation state, he should be more careful of what he’s saying.” Manisha says, “I think he’s making those comments more as an author.” She adds, “I think he has to keep in mind that he’s a politician but then he’s also speaking from the point of view of his book.”The discussion moves on to the ‘much-advertised’ 43rd anniversary of the Emergency imposed by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Manisha thinks that it is a ‘hyperbole’. She says, "But, of course, 2019 (elections)...I guess that’s the one thing that they (BJP) can whip them (Congress) with.” Commenting on a notion that has surfaced, Anand observes, “I think the fiction of undeclared Emergency is rooted in a sense of deprivation among journalists who don’t have anti-establishment tales to tell in their 60s. And those who are already in their 60s, already know that they’re lying.” He adds, “Advertisements by their very nature are exaggerations.”Revati compares the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi to the current situation of Indian politics. Abhinandan says, “Human nature is displaying certain levels of servility that were displayed during the Emergency...And I think that is unique whenever you get a strong leader.”The panel discusses the letter written by Vijay Mallya to Prime Minister Narendra Modi which explained how he’s being made a ‘scapegoat’ despite his willingness to settle his dues. Abhinandan says, “I definitely think that he thought he could get away with it and now that he has not, he’s saying I can do all this...You could’ve done it earlier also.”Anand says, “Ignominy has also been earned by the flamboyant lifestyle he had.”Abhinandan asks the panel about the Chief Economic Adviser's role in policy making, in the context of Arvind Subramanian who recently quit from the position. Anand says, “Having a macro picture of how the economy is moving, what adjustment it needs...
