| Suman Bery: India and global finance - What next? | 12-AUG-09 |
|
| Almost six months after their last get-together in London in early April, the heads of government of the G-20 countries will meet again in Pittsburgh in the United States in late September. They will presumably return to the quartet of issues that has progressively engaged them since they first met as a group in Washington in November 2008. These issues are: macroeconomic coordination, global imbalances and resumption of global growth; global financial reform (including reform of the IMF and the multilateral development banks); strengthening the global trading system and avoiding protection; and burden-sharing in fighting global warming, primarily by capping the growth in the stock of green-house gases in the atmosphere. |

| Not just punditry | 14-MAY-09 |
|
| Most remember Y V Reddy, fondly or otherwise, for what he did with interest rates. But RBI Deputy Governor Rakesh Mohan pointed out various other facets of Reddy’s personality. Reddy, he said, was fond of giving visitors books to read each time they came to his room. But they weren’t all tomes on finance or economics. Long before the movie makers discovered what was later to become Slumdog Millionaire, it was Reddy who gave him Vikas Swarup’s Q&A to read; indeed, long before the glam-set began talking of Adiga, it was Reddy who gave him White Tiger to read. Truly a Reddy-Reckoner, going by Mohan’s spiel. |
