India growth slips to 6.1% in Oct-Dec

February 28, 2012--India's economic growth slowed to a worse-than-expected 6.1 percent in the final three months of 2011, latest data showed, hit by a string of interest rate hikes and a sluggish global economy.

The figure for the financial third quarter was below market expectations of 6.3 percent expansion and comes on the back of 13 rate rises since March 2010 that have sapped demand and slowed manufacturing activity.

"India's economy was battered from all angles through the second half of 2011 -- from rising interest rates, falling stock prices, a plunging rupee and weaker global demand," said Moody's Analytics economist Glenn Levine before the data came out.

China: The Case for Change On the Road to 2030

New research report calls for a shift of China's development and growth model
February 27, 2012--China should complete its transition to a market economy--through enterprise, land, labor, and financial sector reforms-- strengthen its private sector, open its markets to greater competition and innovation, and ensure equality of opportunity to help achieve its goal of a new structure for economic growth.

These are some of the key findings of a joint research report by a team from the World Bank and the Development Research Center of China’s State Council, which lays out the case for a new development strategy for China to rebalance the role of government and market, private sector and society, to reach the goal of a high income country by 2030.

The report, "China 2030: Building a Modern, Harmonious, and Creative High-Income Society", recommends steps to deal with the risks facing China over the next 20 years, including the risk of a hard landing in the short term, as well as challenges posed by an ageing and shrinking workforce, rising inequality, environmental stresses, and external imbalances.

Indian gold ETF investment doubled last year- and set to surge this

As investors in India look to bolster their investment portfolio and look for options outside the stock market, demand for ETFs that invest in gold doubled in 2011 and is forecast to rise further in 2012.
February 27, 2012--Banks dealing in bullion and importing houses in India might have put the brakes on importing gold in the country, but Indian investors just cannot keep away from gold.

If not in the physical form in terms of jewellery, gold biscuits or gold coins, small investors, corporate houses in India and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have decided to go the a stage further and invest in paper gold.

The country's purchase of gold electronic traded funds (ETFs) doubled in 2011 as corporates and SMEs invested heavily in what has been termed by retailers a traditional favourite of wealthy individuals and higher middle class households in India.
