...Prepare for Trading Series #1 - Motivation MOTIVATION Trading for any decent period of time is hard, really hard. If you want to trade to make a difference in your and your loved ones lives it is critically important to prepare for this hardship. An excellent point to start is to think about your motivation to trade. You would also like to keep that motivation going for a long period of time, seeing that trading is not only hard but also potentially very lucrative over time. To be clear, we aren’t currently concerned with goals and “how to succeed” at trading forex. Trading goals and implementing processes to achieve those goals aren’t motivation. That follows on being motivated to trade. There are different ‘levels’ of trading motivation. It is really important to know where you pitch up long before you begin to look for “trading systems”, “brokers one can trust” and “low spreads and high leverage”. So the million dollar question remains: WHY TRADING? Your answer will be unique. I think there might be some value in my unique story. Allow me to share it in short. Late in April 1998 I found myself sitting in a conference room of the small company I was a founding member and owner-manager of at that stage. We had some issues. With me were one of the other founding members and some people I knew very well who were in a process to buy me out. Although I didn’t know it until one had asked the question: “why don’t you take our offer of XYZ rand”? Imagine my surprise...

...Economics 1,( BUS 121) Graded project number (05047700) The economic development in India followed socialist -inspired policies for most of its independent history, including state-ownership of many sectors; India’s per capita income increased at only around 1% annualized rate in the three decades after its independence. Since the mid-1980s, India has slowly opened up its markets through economic liberalization after more fundamental reforms since 1991 and their renewal in the 2000s, India has progressed towards a free market economy In the late 2000s, India's growth reached 7.5%, which will double the average income in a decade. Analysts say that if India pushed more fundamental market reforms, it could sustain the rate and even reach the government's 2011 target of 10%.States have large responsibilities over their economies. The annualized 1999–2008 growth rate for Tamilnadu (9.9), Gujarat (9.6%), Haryana (9.1%), or Delhi (8.9%) were significantly higher than for Bihar (5.1%), Uttar Pradesh (4.4%), or Madhya Pradesh (6.5%). India is the tenth-largest economy in the world and the third largest by purchasing power parity adjusted exchange rates (PPP). On per capita basis, it ranks 140th in the world or 129th by PPP. The economic growth has been driven by the expansion of services that have been growing consistently faster than other sectors. It is argued that the pattern of Indian development has been a specific one and that the country may be able to skip the intermediate...

...1) INTRODUCTION India’s development strategy was based on protection, self-reliance & import substitution before the liberalization policy was accepted & initiated. Foreign capital flows were not looked upon favorably & therefore not encouraged. If there is a deficit in the current account it was financed mainly through deft flows & official development assistance. The policy followed was one which discouraged foreign investment. However, the adverse balance of payment & the economic crisis faced by India forced India to adopt economic reforms. Government restrictions can often result in a currency with a low convertibility. For example, a government with low reserves of hard foreign currency often restrict currency convertibility because the government would not be in a position to intervene in the foreign exchange market (i.e. revalue, devalue) to support their own currency if and when necessary. Convertibility is the quality that allows money or other financial instruments to be converted into other liquid stores of value. Convertibility is an important factor in international trade, where instruments valued in different currencies must be exchanged.1 Currency Convertibility means the ability to freely exchange the currency of one Member State into the currency of another Member State. For example, a Barbadian should be able to easily purchase goods in a store in Port of Spain with his Barbadian dollars and receive his change in Trinidad and Tobago...

...a few more years. The rupee as a currency should be more frequently traded internationally,” said Dwijendra Srivastava, chief investment officer (debt) at Sundaram Mutual Fund. India’s external sector was vulnerable till recently, with the current account deficit above the comfort level of 2.5 per cent of the gross domestic product. It was 4.2 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2011-12 and rose to 4.7 per cent in 2012-13. After severe curbs, including restrictions on import of precious metals, the deficit fell to 1.7 per cent in 2013-14. In 2014-15, it continued to stay low, with the third quarter showing a deficit of 1.6 per cent. The fiscal situation remains fragile. The turning point was in 2007, the year of the global financial crisis. The fiscal deficit of the central government has been 4.6-6.5 per cent in the past six years, before falling to 4.1 per cent in 2013-14. The government is committed to keeping the fiscal deficit low and the target of 3.9 per cent has been retained for this year. The deficit target will be progressively reduced to 3.5 and three per cent in 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively. Experts believe utmost care should be taken along the path of convertibility. Ajit Ranade, chief economist at the Aditya Birla Group, who was part of an RBI committee on...

...28 Tarapore Committee and Current Status Pages 29 to 35 What is Capital Account Transaction? Capital account transaction is defined as a transaction which:- ➢ Alters the assets or liabilities, including contingent liabilities, outside India of persons resident in India. In other words, it includes those transactions which are undertaken by a resident of India such that his/her assets or liabilities outside India are altered (either increased or decreased). For example:- (i) a resident of India acquires an immovable property outside India or acquires shares of a foreign company. This way his/her overseas assets are increased; or (ii) a resident of India borrows from a non-resident through External commercial Borrowings (ECBs). This way he/she has created a liability outside India. ➢ Alters the assets or liabilities in India of person resident outside India. In other words, it includes those transactions which are undertaken by a non-resident such that his/her assets or liabilities in India are altered (either increased or decreased). For example, (i) a non-resident acquire immovable property in India or acquire shares of an Indian company or invest in a Wholly Owned Subsidiary or a Joint Venture with a resident of India.

...Y V Reddy: Fiscal policy and economic reforms Address by Dr Y V Reddy, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP), New Delhi, 26 May 2008 (edited transcript). * * * Respected Professor Govinda Rao and distinguished scholars, I am honoured by my friend, Prof. Govinda Rao’s, kind invitation to me to visit the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP). I had the opportunity of working very closely with the NIPFP on several occasions. Apart from my personal affinity to the NIPFP, there is a close relationship between the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the NIPFP, from an institutional point of view also. For instance, Prof. Govinda Rao is a Member of the Southern Local Board of RBI. Initially, I thought of speaking on fiscal policy and economic reforms from a central banker’s perspective. I realised later that while I have been working as a central banker over the last one decade, I had worked for most parts of the three decades prior to that in the Ministry of Finance, in the Government of India as well as in the Government of Andhra Pradesh. So it was a difficult choice for me as to whether I should give a fiscal view of the monetary policy or a monetary view of the fiscal policy. I have worked for a short period in the World Bank, which gives a global governments’ view and also in the IMF, which gives a global monetary authority’s view. As a via-media, I have opted to give a practitioner’s perspective...

...I. HISTORY OF DEVALUATION OF INDIAN RUPEE (INR) AND ITS IMPACTS ON INDIAN ECONOMY In a fixed exchange rate regime the term ‘Devaluation’ is used. It means a deliberate downward adjustment of a country's official exchange rate by its government i.e. central bank (RBI in India) relative to other currencies; Where as in floating or fluctuating exchange rate currency's value is allowed to fluctuate according to the foreign exchange market. In this case, it is known as Depreciation. There are two implications for currency devaluation. * First, Devaluation makes a country's exports relatively less expensive for foreigners and * Second, it makes foreign products relatively more expensive for domestic consumers, discouraging imports. As a result, this may help to reduce a country's trade deficit. Revaluation: This term is used in a fixed exchange rate regime; it means a deliberate upward adjustment to a country's official exchange rate relative to other currencies. In floating exchange rate, it is known as Appreciation. The Liberalized Exchange Rate Management System (LERMS): LERMS was introduced in March 1992 involving the dual exchange rate system in the interim period. The dual exchange rate system was replaced by a unified exchange rate system in March 1993. History of Devaluation The Indian rupee, which was on par with the...
