In today's briefing:

1.  A sovereign wealth fund finally?

2.  Look at why the RBI is threatening the auction of government business.  What would this entail?

3.  Mayawati promises ST status to Gurjars.

4.  FCEBs finally get the government nod.  Do you remember the nuance between FCEBs and FCCBs?

5.  World Bank and our local and regional politicians on same wavelength? 

6.  Why is there a case for bringing indirect taxes down?

7.  A few examples of our political class's penchant for throwing the economic reform to the winds.

8.  Indian household sector and its savings preferences.

9.  Ever heard of 'Black Swan'?  What does this mean?  Who coined this phrase?

10.  Want to know the meaning of terms that we usually come across while reading the budget?  Go ahead and download the budget glossary.

11.  Blu-ray wins the battle against HD DVD format.  Is this just a battle or was it the war?

That's all folks for today.  Happy reading.
