By Abin Daya The LIBOR is dead! Well, not quite. But in the next 4 years, it could be. The The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced this week that it intended to phase out the LIBOR by 2021. Post that, banks would no longer be compelled to provide interest quotes to the Inter-Continental Exchange, and in the absence of these, the benchmark would die a natural death. What comes after that? We don’t know yet. But the first item this week is something closer home – India’s foreign trade numbers for the month of June. Apart from what is included in the update, I also tried to explore if there was some sort of correlation between industrial production growth and export performance. ...

The Dollar Business Bureau A top US Senator on Tuesday alleged that the potential applicants for H-1B visa are being guided to apply for O visa programme instead of the H-1B, which is numerically restricted and meant for highly-skilled workers to avoid legal limitations on employment visas. H-1B visa is issued to international guest workers having high skilled capabilities, while O visas are intended for those having extraordinary capabilities or who have demonstrated extraordinary achievement record.

Mentioning some media reports, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Chuck Grassley, said that the number of visas issued under the O visa programme in the last decade has increased ...

By Abin Daya Change is an unavoidable part of life - and of doing business. One of the biggest changes to the way we do business happened last Friday, with the rolling out of the GST. Yes, there will be disruptions in the short term and the cost of compliance will go up. Also, many small businesses will lose the tax arbitrage that enabled them to price below that of the larger companies. It will also increase the financing cost of business, particularly for those engaged in foreign trade. Speaking of financing, even that is not going to be easy. While credit growth is down because of low credit demand driven by the leveraged position of corporates combined with muted demand, even where businesses ...

The Dollar Business Bureau The exports and imports of China increased in the month of April, as foreign and domestic demand weakened and there was a decline in commodity prices. In April, China's exports surged 8% compared to the previous year, missing analysts' predictions, whereas imports expanded 11.9%, an official data revealed on Monday.

The Dollar Business Bureau Overriding its tapering domestic economy, Japan's foreign trade in the month of March boosted the overall performance of the world's third largest economy. The Japanese administration announced that exports grew more than the expected 12% while imports jumped 16% year on year during March 2017. A revival of stability in Chinese economy supplemented by a gradually normalising global demand has given Japan much reason to cheer. A trade surplus of $5.6 billion was registered in the month of March as exports grossed $66 billion approximately while imports rose to about $60 billion. Japanese exports to China reached $11 billion, showing a whopping 16.4% growth from the same month in the previous year, although the double digit growth is mostly because of a one-month shift in the Lunar New ...
