China’s Economic Slowdown and Its Root Causes: Analysed

For years, China’s economy has been rapidly expanding,
becoming the world’s second-largest economy. Their economic growth was nothing
short of astonishing – double-digit GDP growth year after year. However, the
recent numbers tell a different story. The Chinese economy is facing
significant challenges due to a combination of factors. Read also this:  India is APAC’s fastest-growing Economy, according to S&P

Decline in Exports

One of the major struggles is a decline in exports.
China has been heavily reliant on exports for economic growth, but as global
demand has weakened, their export figures have fallen. In May, Chinese exports
were down 7.5% year-over-year. This decline in
exports is hurting Chinese businesses, which are struggling to maintain their
profit margins. The trade wars with the United States and other countries have
contributed to this decline, further intensifying the situation.

Demand for Chinese goods has declined due to rising global prices, the

In January–March, India’s current account balance presumably turned positive, marking the first quarterly surplus.

An increase in services
exports and a decline in the trade deficit led to a positive current account
balance for India in the first quarter of 2019, according to a survey by
Reuters.

In the final quarter of
the 2022/23 fiscal year, the current account balance is projected to have
posted a surplus of $3.3 billion, or 0.4% of gross domestic product (GDP),
according to the latest survey of 22 economists.Read also this: India is APAC’s fastest-growing Economy, according to S&P

That would represent a
substantial improvement over the previous quarter’s deficit of $18.2 billion,
or 2.2% of GDP. From a deficit of $5.0 billion to a surplus of $7.8 billion,
forecasts varied widely.

While we anticipate the
merchandise trade deficit to shrink due to easing global commodity prices, the
invisible trade balance should remain stable at the same level as the
previous quarter due to an increase in services exports, according to Upasana
Chachra, the chief India economist at Morgan

Why do tomatoes cost over Rs 100, and why is the market heating up?

Indian consumers’
wallets have been on fire for the past few days due to a severe shortage of vibrant red fruit. Retail prices for tomatoes have increased to Rs 80–120 per kilogram,
while wholesale prices have increased to Rs 65–70.

High temperatures,
limited productivity, and delayed rainfall across much of the country all play
a role in driving up costs. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), whose job it is to
keep inflation under control, has been hit hard by the recent spike in the
price of tomatoes, which were selling for Rs 3-5 a kg as recently as May.Read also this: EPFO may delay increased EPS pension by three months: Sources

EPFO may delay increased EPS pension by three months: Sources

Sources claimed the
EPFO may extend the higher EPS pension application deadline by three months.
Many employees have complained about difficulty filing for EPS pension
increases, thus the extension is expected.Many workers have
failed to submit an application for a pension increase because of confusion
about the requirements and a lack of timely clarification from EPFO. The
deadline to apply for an increased pension under the Employees’ Pension Scheme
