Da muss man sich schon die Augen reiben, wenn US-Präsident Joe Biden den indischen Präsidenten Narendra Modi zum Dinner einlädt. Zum einen, weil er in seiner Amtszeit bisher nur für den französischen Staatspräsidenten Emmanuel Macron und den südkoreanischen Staatschef aufkochte. Zum anderen, weil Narendra Modi vor noch nicht allzu langer Zeit in den USA so wie in Europa als persona non grata gesehen und ihm sogar die Einreise verwehrt wurde. Der einstige Teeverkäufer und Hindu Narendra Modri wird für das schreckliche Massaker 2002 an Muslimen im indischen Bundesstaat Gujarat verantwortlich gemacht. Schwamm drüber, die Wirtschaft liebt den erfolgreichen Geschäftsmann eben. Apple hat seine iPhone-Produktione in Indien verdreifacht, um sich unabhängiger vom Produktionsstandort China zu machen, dem man politisch nicht traut. Davon abgesehen möchte die USA China natürlich nicht zur Weltmacht Nr 1 aufsteigen lassen. Auch für die Europäische Union und ihre Unternehmen ist Indien ein strategisch wichtiger Partner, politisch im Bündnis gegen Russland, wie wirtschaftlich. Umgekehrt ist die EU für Indien drittwichtigster Handelspartner. Die Wirtschaft betrachtet das aufstrebende Indien als das neue China. Obendrein ist Indien geographisch spannend. Laut UN-Prognosen wird Chinas Bevölkerung bis 2100 auf 770 Millionen Einwohner schrumpfen. Bis dahin soll es doppelt so viel Inder geben. Also nichts wie in Indien investieren? Das hat schon in den letzten 22 Jahren nicht gut geklappt. Fragt mal Jim O´Neill, den ehemaligen Chefvolkswirt und Marketing-Genie von Goldman Sachs, der die Abkürzung BRIC für die vier investierbaren, stark wachsenden Schwellenstaaten ins Leben gerufen hat, von denen Indien enttäuschte. Dafür könnte es ja jetzt mit Geschäftsmann Modi einen Aufholprozess starten, den China in den letzten zwanzig Jahren hingelegt hat. Sollte man also in Indien investieren und wie? Mit Sicherheit ist die Börse noch nicht so transparent, wie man das im Westen gewohnt ist. Es gibt aber jede Menge ETFs – nicht nur von den üblichen verdächtigen Indexanbietern, sondern etwa auch von renommierten Fondsgesellschaften. Ich selbst bin seit einem dreiviertel Jahr in einen Indien-ETF mit einer kleinen Position investiert – auch weil ich eine persönliche Affinität zu diesem Land habe - und habe schon meine erste böse Überraschung hinter mir. Nämlich als im Februar diesen Jahres das Imperium von Modis Busenfreund Gautam Adani ins Wanken geriet, nachdem Ihn der US-Shortseller Hindenburg undurchsichtige Geldflüsse und Scheinfirmen in der Karibik vorwarf, die den Börsenkurs aufblähen würden. Das größte indische Unternehmen zog sogleich die indische Börse um bis zu zehn Prozent nach unten. Inzwischen ist es um den Skandal still geworden, die Adani-Group hat sich erholt. Ich bin mit dem ETF nur noch leicht im Minus. Die Börse ist auch sehr finanzlastig – das ist allerdings auch der österreichische ATX. Auch die Sektoren IT, langlebiger Konsum und Energie spielen am indischen Kapitalmarkt eine größere Rolle. Investieren kann man dort gut über zwei Hände voll an ETFs. Die größten und liquidesten sind iShares MSCI India UCITS ETF USD (Acc) und Lyxor MSCI India UCITS ETF Acc (EUR). Gebührenmäßig deutlich günstiger, aber mit einem Fondsvolumen von 225 nicht so liquide ist der Franklin FTSE India UCITS ETF. Bevor ihr investiert schaut Euch in jedem Fall die Werte in den drei großen Indizes MSCI India, FTSE India und Nifty genau an, ob die Euch behagen. FAZIT: Indien ist ein spannendes Investment. Wenn ich aber über ein beschränktes Anlagevermögen verfüge, würde ich eher einen Emerging Market Fonds meinem globalen Portfolio beimischen, der das Verlustrisiko über mehrere asiatische Länder breiter streut. Aber das ist wie immer nur meine ganz persönliche Meinung für mich und meine ganz persönliche Risikofreudigkeit. #India #kapitalistisch #ETF #Banking #IT Foto: Unsplash

This week's episode discusses the crux of the legal drug industry with an example of a growing global issue, antimicrobial resistance. This is a casual book review of the book, Superbugs, An Arms Race Against Bacteria, written by William Hall, Anthony McDonnell and Jim O'Neill published by Harvard University Press, copyright 2018. After being gifted the book, host, Angela Stoyanovitch, falls in love with the topic of antibiotics, a category type of legal drugs. According to the book, Superbugs, approximately 1.5 million people die every year already as a result of antimicrobial resistance. The antibiotic crisis is still developing today. Is it possible that many of us have abused antibiotics at some point? Are the right diagnostic tests in place within our health care provider systems? What's happening worldwide with resistant strains of bacteria? Do we even know what bacterial strains we are handling or up against as the bacteria evolves so rapidly? What responsibility do we have as individuals? What role does or should our governments play? What about the drug development industry or pharmaceutical companies? In order to understand this issue more fully, perhaps a systems thinking approach should be taken (a reference from a book titled, Thinking in Systems: A Primer, written by Donella Meadows.) As with any drug development topic, this one is complex but applicable to our everyday lives. Listen in to learn more about Superbugs and potential solutions to this silent killer that include simple human behavioral changes such as hand washing up to a massive cry for global government, pharmaceutical and academic collaboration and funding for new legal drugs, etc. This episode of Legal Drugs Podcast edited by Margaret Beveridge.

Free Exchange, the CapX podcast, is back with an exciting new series of interviews and conversations. In the coming months, we'll be welcoming a fascinating line up of politicians, policymakers, authors, economists and journalists on to the show to talk about some of the biggest questions we face today.We’re kicking things off with a live recording of a CapX event at Conservative Party Conference on what the term “global Britain” really means.It’s a phrase ministers and Brexit supporters are fond of using when laying out their vision for Britain after it leaves the European Union. But is it anything more than a soundbite? And if so, what should it mean for government policy?Our three guests were all, in their own ways, well-placed to consider these issues. Jim O’Neill is the economist famous for coining the term Brics who went on to work with George Osborne on the Northern Powerhouse. He now sits as a crossbench peer in the house of lords and earlier this year was appointed Chair of Chatham House.The second guest was Lucy Neville-Rolfe.

The leader-led BRICS forum has received much attention in the international relations. Initiated as an acronym in 2001 by Jim O’Neill at Goldman Sachs to capture a set of large emerging market economies with high growth potential – Brazil, Russia, India and China – Russian officials organized this group first as informal gatherings of the Foreign Ministers and then in 2009 the first leaders’ summit in Yekaterinburg, Russia. Leaders’ summits have continued from that point forward. Notably in 2011 at the China Sanya Summit, South Africa was invited to join the BRICS which went from the BRICs to the BRICS. Notwithstanding much skepticism by observers over the many divergent views of this leaders forum the BRICS have continued to meet, to enhance their intra-BRICS activities from security to education and to build institutions including the New Development Bank and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA). With the able assistance of Andrew Cooper, we explore the evolution of the BRICS in global governance. We also explore where this BRICS summit may be going. Andrew is a Professor of Political Science at Waterloo University. He has written a great deal around the ‘Rise of the Informals’ including a volume on the G20 with Ramesh Thakur (The Group of Twenty (G20), 2012), Rising States, Rising Institutions with Alan Alexandroff, eds. (2010), and more recently: BRICS: A Very Short Introduction (2016). He also has a written a great deal on modern diplomacy including The Oxford Handbook of Modern Diplomacy with Jorge Heine and Ramesh Thakur, eds. (2013), Celebrity Diplomacy (2007), and Diplomatic Alternatives (2014).
The Western-led international order is in disarray, with this year’s chaotic G7 summit being an obvious case in point. But for Jim O’Neill, chair-elect of Chatham House, the public disagreement among allies was a sideshow; the real crisis is in the failure of global governance institutions to reflect economic reality.
According to the Federal Highway Administration, there were over 96,000 crashes in work zones in the US in 2015. Despite work zone safety being a high priority, drivers and workers are still killed and injured at an astonishingly high rate. Technology can play a role in improving work zone safety by informing drivers of hazards ahead and directing them on what to do as they approach the work zone. GEWI is working with HERE and iCONE to show how an off-the-shelf solution can save lives by providing in-vehicle alerts on real-time work zone conditions. Jim O'Neill, the CEO of GEWI North America, talked with Transportation Radio about GEWI is already doing in Germany and what the three companies will be demonstrating at the ITS America conference in Detroit.
Lord Jim O’Neill talks to BBC Hardtalk presenter Stephen Sackur about where the BRIC acronym came from, it’s real world repercussions and where the BRICs go next. This weekly podcast mini-series explores the issues and implications of the Rising Powers and Interdependent Futures research programme.

Today we're asking how anyone can make sense of the deluge of climate change data that is almost continually published. By the end of last month, nearly 200 countries had signed up to the Paris climate change agreement, and in doing so they were nominally committing to keep global temperatures "well below" 2C. So now comes the tricky bit: How best to do that - and what is the scientific evidence for policymakers to decide? Climate change expert Dr Tamsin Edwards of the Open University joins Adam Rutherford to help us unpick the research. Last week a major new report on the State of the World's Plants was unveiled at Kew Gardens in London. There are some 391,000 vascular plants known to science - that's ones with vessels, xylem and phloem - and over 2000 were discovered last year alone. But just over a fifth of all plants are estimated to be threatened with extinction - and global climate change forms part of this threat. Our reporter Cathy Edwards met Professor Kathy Willis, Director of Science at Kew, to find out how plants are responding to the changing climate, and also spoke to Professor Yadvinder Malhi, Oxford University, and Kay Havens, Chicago Botanic Garden. The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, headed by economist Jim O'Neill, was published today. Molecular microbiologist Professor Matt Hutchings from the University of East Anglia, gave us a brief summary. A new paper out this week looks into exactly what the act of making a phone call can reveal. The study, which was led by Patrick Mutchler and Jonathan Mayer at Stanford University in the States, is the culmination of work looking into what metadata really can show - you may have seen reports of some of their findings, as they've been revealing them in the public interest since 2013. They collected metadata volunteered by 823 participants, in total, more than 250,000 calls, and 1 million text messages. Steven Murdoch from the Information Security Research Group at University College London joined us to put this into context. As part of the BBC's Do Something Great season celebrating volunteers, Adam joined Professor Kate Jones from University College London on a Hampstead Heath bat watch, part of the citizen science project Bat Detective. Producers: Marnie Chesterton & Jen Whyntie.

What do we do when the antibiotics we rely on to cure deadly diseases stop working? A growing number of infections like malaria and TB are renewed killers because new strains of the diseases no longer respond to antibiotics. The World Health Organisation this week calls it the single greatest challenge in infectious diseases. We hear from the leading economist Jim O'Neill who is conducting a review of the global strategic challenges resulting from the spread of AMR (anti-microbial resistance). We talk to the WHO about the readiness of countries to face the health crises that may lie ahead. And, we ask the drug companies what they are doing to develop new drugs that might once more fight these lethal diseases.
