[Indian Current Affairs:630] Current affairs briefing for 18th September, 2008

Hi friends,

Here is our link for today:

http://indiancurrentaffairs.blogspot.com/2008/09/18092008.html

In today's briefing I have covered exclusively about the financial contagion that is spreading across the world.  Russia is affected and nobody knows how far or fast it will spread to the rest of the world.  This is like the East Asian currency crisis of 1998.  So let us stay glued to the developments as they unfold and try to understand what is going on.

That's why there is no other coverage.

Happy reading.

[Indian Current Affairs:625] Current affairs briefing for 12th September, 2008

Hi friends,

Here goes our link for today: http://indiancurrentaffairs.blogspot.com/2008/09/12092008.html

In today's briefing:

1.  Government firms up on minimum amount of public holding in a listed company.  While the ostensible reasons appear to be to ensure wider a float, increased liquidity and better price discovery, there is a doubt that lingers somewhere in some minds whether or not this is an attempt at backdoor privatization of the PSUs.

2.  Norms for investment in real estate by PIOs relaxed.

3.  An interesting titbit about naming convention of hurricanes in the US.

4.  India slips a couple of notches in the ease of doing business rankings of the World Bank.  What are the reasons?

5.  Should the interest rate on credit cards be capped?  An interesting debate.

6.  The darker side of the KBC reality show?

7.  Cabinet clears the biofuel policy.  Some highlights for our keeps.

That's it for today.  Happy reading.
