China has raised export duty on coke from 25% to 40% that will be effective from 20th August. The immediate effect would be for lower margins mills as they struggle with the market that is readying itself for falling prices and buying activity starting to cool off with buyers maybe destocking slightly in the hope of lower prices....

I dont think so. Chinese exported more due to their self demand. But, now chinese commodity demand to slow down so import would be very minimal, In same way they would export less so that home manufactured coke would be used for domestic growth further which would be stable not huge or less. ...

Strong domestic demand is likely to push up the private corporate investments in the current financial year but in a slower-pace owing to a deceleration in global and domestic economies, the Reserve Bank said.

\"The private corporate investment in 2008-09 is likely to increase, although it may grow at a slower pace... Corporate\'s incentives to invest are likely to remain strong in 2008-2009, namely high domestic demand and high capacity utilisation rates amidst improved profitability of last few years,\" RBI said in its August bulletin.

The capital investment intention of companies in the domestic market having institutional assistance upto the last fiscal amounted to Rs 1,48,350 crore as against Rs 1,25,248 crore envisaged for 2007-08, the apex bank said.

In the current fiscal, the proposed investment aggreagtes to Rs 1,73,173 crore, if the capital spending envisaged by companies raising funds from sources other than banks and foreign investors was added, RBI said.

\"If the aggregate capital expenditure in FY 09 were to surpass the level indented for the year 2007-08, the fresh envisaged capital expenditure in 2008-09 must be above Rs 71,934 crore,\" the apex bank said.

A step which seems to boost up the financial sector has been taken by the UPA government as on Thursday it allowed private provident, pension and gratuity funds to invest up to 15% of their corpus in stock markets. The announcement has come nearly after 15 days of ending the monopoly of SBI in managing EPF accounts.

There has also been relaxation in the norms regarding investment in securities. A notification by the Finance Ministry clarified that these can invest up to 15% of funds in shares of companies on which derivatives are available in the Bombay Stock Exchange or National Stock Exchange. The amendments have been made under the revised investment pattern.

The new guidelines would come in effect from April 1, 2009. The guidelines came into existence after the feedback of the public on draft proposals, which were issued last year.

“Government would impress upon the Employees Provident Fund, which has a corpus of over Rs 2,40,000 crore, to follow these investment guidelines,” as was said earlier by a senior finance ministry official.

The government had put an end on the monopoly of SBI on July30, when it allowed private players like HSBC, Reliance Capital and ICICI Prudential to manage the incremental funds of EPFO which had been subscribed by over four crore employees.

Pay commission recommendation are not just a drain on the Govt finances but can also provide tremendous boost to the economy by enhancing demand for various consumer products, housing and education. Govt servant will put this money to only productive use or save. The money spells good for our economy even if there is little increase in deficit financing or inflation....

hi,
after the declaration of 6th cpc, every economist has started shouting of inflation and the burden on govt. One simple question, is this the only thing which is increasing inflation? The ministers and the big bereaucrats in the govt. are not doing any waste? We can build parliament for Afganisthan, can give build terminals for Haj, give them subsidy and can afford to buy MPs, but we cannot expect the govt. machinery to get a better pay. What is a better pay? I will give my own example, I am working in Central Govt. as a Clerk, have rendered 35 yrs of service with only one single promotion, with a benefit of Rs.10/- at that time? My gross salary does not exceep Rs.18000/- after 35 yrs. There are no exams for promotions. Can someone expect me to run a family of six people including my parents? That is all. I expect everybody to search answers for that and then expect from the govt. servants. Another person recruited with me got five promotions because he is from SC cadre. I do not want to say that the govt. policy is wrong in upliftment of the Dalits, but simultaneously, what about others? Recently, I saw the honourable Chief Minister of UP yelling that I am a dalit ki beti, and suddenly remembered the property she owns declared by her at the time of elections? ...

if inflation zooms despite all the

positive factors, it is on account of

hoarding and profiteering by the

unscrupulous trade aided by the

greedy politicians.

if every state government conducts severe

raids on hoarders prices will automatically

come down. will they act? they will

only penalise the defence less middle class

since they have no god fathers....
