Congratulating the people & healthcare workers of India, NITI Aayog Member-Health VK Paul said it was remarkable to reach the 100-crore-dose mark for any nation, especially counting that it was attained in just over nine months since the vaccination program had started in India.

"This extraordinary feat was not possible in this short period of time without strong political leadership, intersectoral convergence, dedicated efforts of the entire health and frontline workforce and the people themselves," Poonam Khetrapal, World Health Organization Regional Director, South-East Asia said.

India's progress must be viewed in the context of the country's commendable commitment and efforts to ensure these life saving vaccines are accessible globally, she added.

Among the Union Ministers, Health Minister Mansukh Mandavia was the first to tweet his congratulations to the country, sharing an image of a counter targeting 100 crore doses, which had run down to zero.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier tweeted as "India scripts history".

"100 crore is not just a statistics. It's the self confidence of more than 100 crore people," Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal tweeted.

"Despite vaccine hesitancy, despite the opposition’s efforts to derail the process, PM Shri Narendra Modi ji’s leadership has done the incredible. Big thanks to all the health workers," Labour and Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said.

Hesitancy remained a major talking point for the central government with Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw appealing to people to shun COVID19 vaccine hesitancy. "This is a significant milestone. Railways employees have also played an important role in achieving this milestone. We have to make sure that the people receive full vaccination," he said.

Taking a dig at opposition-ruled states, Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia also pointed to 'mishandling on the part of some state governments, as the list of challenges India had to face before reaching this milestone.

Anurag Singh Thakur, I&B, and Youth Affairs & Sports chose to praise the work of scientists and health workers in helping India achieve this unprecedented feat.On the occasion, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said this proves that the defeat of the Covid is now guaranteed.

A number of ambassadors from other countries also took to Twitter to congratulate India. "Congratulations India on administering 1 billion vaccine doses. I received both my vaccine doses as part of India's vaccination program - thanks to the Indian government," Australian High Commissioner Barry O' Farrell, said.

Icra revises up FY22 GDP growth forecast to 9%

http://sharetipsinfo.comJust get registered at Sharetipsinfo and earn positive returns

www.ShareTipsInfo.com

A ramp-up in COVID-19 vaccination, healthy advance estimates of Kharif (summer) crop and faster government spending were the factors that led to the revision, the agency said in a statement.

Rating agency Icra on Monday revised up its 2021-22 real GDP growth estimate for India to 9 per cent from the sooner 8.5 per cent.

A ramp-up in COVID-19 vaccination, healthy advance estimates of Kharif (summer) crop and faster government spending were the factors that led to the revision, the agency said during a statement.

It is often noted that after the 7.3 per cent contraction in 2020-21, there have been expectations of a better growth number in 2021-22.

However, the second wave of COVID-19 infections early into the financial year, which spread even within the hinterland, made analysts more circumspect. The RBI expects the economy to grow at 9.5 percent.

Icra on Monday said it expects the last half of the financial year to possess brighter prospects.

The widening coverage of COVID-19 vaccines is probably going to spice up confidence, which can successively re-energise demand for contact-intensive services, helping to revive the portions of the economy affected most by the pandemic,” its chief economist Aditi Nayar said.

The robust Kharif harvest is probably going to sustain the consumption demand from the farm sector while the expected acceleration within the central government spending after the withdrawal of the sooner cash management guidelines will recharge this key driver of aggregate demand, she added.

The key risk to its revised projection of 9 per cent GDP growth may be a potential third wave and therefore the existing vaccines being ineffective against newer mutations of the virus, she said.

Nearly three-fourths of Indian adults could receive their second vaccine shot by the top of 2021 if the typical 7.9 million doses each day recorded between September 1-26 is sustained, Icra estimated.

Nayar said late sowing has helped bring the Kharif acreage nearly at par with last year's record area. In line with this, the primary advance estimates of crop production for 2021-22 signalled a strong rise in Kharif output, barring coarse cereals and oilseeds, quelling the concerns raised by the uneven monsoon and episodes of flooding.

Based on these, the agency has revised up its GVA (gross value added) growth estimate for agriculture, forestry and fishing to three per cent each in the second and third quarters of 2021-22 from the sooner projection of a tepid 2 per cent rise, she added.

The Centre's spending contracted 4.7 per cent in April-July 2021 year-on-year, and stood at 28.8 per cent of the 2021-22 Budget Estimates, the agency said, expecting better government spending to spice up growth in the last half of the year.

However, it said that trends from the economic sector remain lacklustre in September 2021, with semi-conductor non-availability weighing upon auto production and a flattening out of GST e-way bills.

Moreover, heavy rains have dampened electricity demand and are likely to distort trends in mining and construction.

Explained | The World Bank controversy that killed the Doing Business Report

http://sharetipsinfo.comJust get registered at Sharetipsinfo and earn positive returns

www.ShareTipsInfo.com

An internal audit found that Chinese influence at the World Bank led to data manipulation and ultimately a rigged national ranking for China in past Ease of Doing Business indexes. While the regulators investigate the matter and the global investor community remains dazed at the findings, Moneycontrol looks at what this means for India.

Representative Image (Reuters)


The Washington, DC-based International Bank for Reconstruction and Development Group said on September 16 it's pending publication of its Doing Business report after an indoor audit found “undue pressure” by top bank officials to control data had resulted in country rankings changed to favor China.

The investigations showed that the report, considered a worldwide benchmark to gauge investment climate across nations, had boosted China’s ranking in 2017.

Then International Bank for Reconstruction and Development president Jim Yong Kim then chief executive Kristalina Georgieva, who is now director of the International fund, are implicated within the findings. Moneycontrol takes a glance.

What is the Doing Business Report?

The Doing Business report outlined the amount of business regulation in 190 economies. It assessed the business climate on 12 broad parameters integral to starting, sustaining, and winding down a business. The 2020 report was the 17th within the series of annual studies.

The quantitative indicators ranged from handling construction permits, getting electricity, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, and trading across borders. These might be compared across 190 economies—from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe—and over time. The study presented an in-depth analysis of costs, requirements, and procedures that a selected sort of private company is subjected to altogether countries and provided nations with specific prescriptions on how and when to reform key laws.

Why is it so crucial?

Nations around the world monitored the annual reports since they set the convenience of Doing index for the subsequent year. The index is that the formal ranking of countries – from most business-friendly to worst. it's competitive, changes quickly, and has in recent years garnered huge media attention. This report of sorts showed whether nations had improved or degenerated in their efforts to make a more liberal economic ecosystem, a minimum of for the typical business.

The growing significance of the index was partially thanks to rising interest across the developing world from countries including India, South Africa, Indonesia, Nigeria, Brazil, and China, which are continuously engaged in seeking more foreign direct investment.

What had been done?

On instructions from former International Bank for Reconstruction and Development president Jim Yong Kim and ex-CEO Kristalina Georgieva, the Doing Business team was instructed to re-evaluate China’s data to stay its rank at 78. Internal audits had been triggered in June 2020 by repeated allegations of knowledge manipulation. firm WilmerHale had prepared an independent report at the request of the bank’s ethics panel. Both raised concerns about China’s influence at the planet Bank.

They found that Kim discussed the report and China’s performance with senior Chinese officialdom in September 2017, a significant breach of practice and ethics because the results are never disclosed before the worldwide launch of the report. Also, the then executive for China met with members of the planet Bank’s East Asia and Pacific regional office on September 14 to tell them that if China’s rankings improved, everyone would be “relieved.”

How did it get so bad?

This isn’t the planet Bank’s first brush with scandal. In January 2018, Paul Romer, the planet Bank’s chief economist, announced that past releases of the index would be corrected and recalculated going back a minimum of four years. Romer apologized to Chile, saying the previous director of the group liable for the index had repeatedly manipulated its methodology, unfairly penalizing the country’s rankings during the administration of left-wing President Michelle Bachelet.

Now, after reviewing all the knowledge available so far on Doing Business, including the findings of past reviews, audits, and therefore the final report released by the planet Bank, the management decided to discontinue the Doing Business report.

Why does this matter for India?

Since the Narendra Modi government took charge in 2014, it's focused on improving India’s rankings. the govt said in multiple fora that its target was to be counted as a part of the highest 50 clubs as soon as possible. It also initiated a good sweep of reforms to continuously improve conditions of doing business on the bottom across local, state, and national levels.

As a result, India’s rankings improved dramatically over the past five years. within the latest rankings, it rose 14 places to 63rd position in 2019, up from 74th within the previous year. The country was also placed within the list of “economies with the foremost notable improvement” for the third year during a row. Overall, India’s position jumped from a coffee 142 in 2014, an unparalleled feat.

The government had also extensively marketed its achievements both domestically and abroad. Continuously invoked at political rallies and television debates, the term “ease of doing business” had become an inherent part of the political discourse within the country.


Where does the govt stand on the issue?

After the controversy broke out, Kaushik Basu, who was International Bank for Reconstruction and Development chief economist from October 2012 to October 2016, said that while pressure from governments had always been the case, it had never given in. He said that to India’s credit, both the present and former Indian governments had never put pressure on the planet Bank for favorable reviews.

The sudden discrediting of the rankings has brought into question the framework of the report, its intent, and therefore the entire process. While the Centre has not yet officially commented on the matter, reports have stated that some officials fear this may discredit India’s overall simple doing business endeavor.

However, most officials believe it'll help in exposing how China bullies multilateral institutions to accommodate its demands. With global opinion on the matter slowly becoming clear, they hope this may cause more businesses to shift from China to India. India is currently wooing businesses to shift their supply chains from China through a variety of incentives

The World Bank Group on September 16 said it ended publication of its Doing Business report after an investigation cited "undue pressure" by top bank officials.

Economist Kaushik Basu dubbed reports of manipulation of the World Bank's Doing Business ranking as "shocking".

Basu was Chief Economist of the World Bank from October 2012 to October 2016.

He said that when the Doing Business report was under his charge, the organization never gave in to pressure from governments.

He also clarified that the World Bank never faced pressure from the current or previous Indian government, led by Narendra Modi and Manmohan Singh respectively.

"The news of manipulation of World Bank's Doing Business Ranking is shocking. DB was under my charge from 2012 to 2016. There was pressure from govt. We NEVER gave in. Sad that this changed. I may add, to India's credit, I never had pressure from India's govt—current or previous," Basu tweeted.

The World Bank Group on September 16 said it ended publication of its Doing Business report, after an investigation cited "undue pressure" by top bank officials, including then-Chief Executive Kristalina Georgieva, to boost China's ranking in 2017.

The report ranks the country based on the investment climate.

An internal report had raised "ethical matters, including the conduct of former Board officials as well as current and/or former Bank staff".

A board investigation conducted by the law firm WilmerHale cited "direct and indirect pressure" from senior staff in the office of then-World Bank President Jim Yong Kim to change the report's methodology to boost China's score, and said it likely occurred at his direction.
