Aggressive rate hikes may be counterproductive in short run: Emkay Wealth

Aggressive rate hikes by central banks globally to tame soaring inflation may prove counterproductive in the short run, Emkay Wealth Management said on Wednesday. Underlining that geopolitical tensions, soaring crude oil prices and worries around recession in the developed countries are some of the major risks threatening the markets, Emkay Wealth Management however said India fears no major risks. However, there are risks related to slowing of exports and currency depreciation, the company said during a webinar. The Indian rupee plunged to an all-time low of Rs 81.93 per dollar on Wednesday. "Inflation has become a concern for most major economies, and central banks are resorting to aggressive rate hikes. This move could push up inflationary pressures, proving counterproductive in the short run. The dollar index and crude are the two key indicators to watch out for in the next few quarters," Joseph K Thomas, Head of Research, Emkay Wealth Management said. Central banks across th

Indian economy showing resilience and recovery, says CEA Nageswaran

Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran on Monday said the Indian economy was on the path to recovery but cautioned that foreign investors may remain cautious because of geopolitical challenges. Speaking at a virtual seminar organised by Swadeshi Research Institute, he said all sectors of the economy such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction are "doing well". "The Indian economy is showing resilience and on the path to recovery. Private demand and the services sector are doing better than expected," he said. Private capital formation is taking place, while foreign direct investment (FDI) flow is keeping steady, he said. However, there are challenges, and geopolitics is messy for which foreign investors are cautious, the CEA said. Noting that India has a "well-capitalised banking sector", the economist said, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) also played a big part in "improving the health of the banking system" which had high NPAs due to the financial cri

Govt decides to extend existing Foreign Trade Policy by another six months

The government has decided to postpone the release of the new Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) and extend the existing one by six months on account of global uncertainties and currency fluctuations.

A notification in this regard will be issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). "We will have to defer the release of the new policy. The existing policy will be continued," Yadav told reporters here on Monday. He added
