indian economy: Photo AFP Global investors have sold 4.5 billion worth of Indian shares since June, the South China Morning Post SCMP reported, news that adds to the evidence that the Indian economy has begun to lose its luster, according to Global Times China. Fears of a global economic slowdown are rising as reliable figures indicate that both developed and developing economies have been hit hard by issues such as the US-launched trade war. Air coolers are in high demand during the summer months as temperatures rise above 40 C in many places on the Indian subcontinent. India, as a newcomer to the list of manufacturing powers, has showed less resilience to external uncertainties amid global economic slowdown.

hong kong: Hong Kong is not afraid of rising competition from mainland cities such as Shenzhen in South China's Guangdong Province and Shanghai, which have been rising rapidly, Hong Kong Finance Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said in an exclusive interview with the Global Times on Wednesday, according to Global Times China. We have to take a strategic perspective to continuously increase our competitiveness, so that we won't be afraid of competition. Photo Lu Wenao/GT Hong Kong is irreplaceable in its prominent role in the nation's economic development, given its unique system and strong complementarities with the Chinese mainland, though it faces rising downward pressure due in part to persistent unrest and intensifying competition from some mainland cities, officials and analysts said. Hong Kong has always been an open market, we don't need to fear rivalry - only incompetence, Chan told the Global Times.

Hong Kong has been suffering from months of social unrest, which hurts its pillar industries and dents its reputation as a global finance and trade hub. (news.financializer.com).

hyper-inflationary doomsayer: Don't assume I am a hyper-inflationary doomsayer though, according to Market Watch. At first the inflation will feel great. Contrary to the debt-will-overwhelm-us crowd, I believe the next great financial crisis will not be a deflationary shock, but a return of inflation no one is positioned for, he wrote in his Macro Tourist blog this week. It's not until much later will it actually cause any real problems for the economy. Hands down, he said. In that kind of climate, Muir says a return of inflation is the best long-term risk-reward trade out there. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

cnn anchors: The CNN anchors stood in front of a banner reading Climate Crisis which was flanked on either side by video footage of a brushfire in California and Hurricane Dorian bearing down on the Carolinas, according to MSNBC. Candidates referenced disasters in passing and told elaborate stories of the disaster-stricken communities they have visited. There was the mother of a girl who died in Superstorm Sandy, a woman whose home burned down in the Sonoma wildfires, and a woman from the Isle de Jean Charles Band of a community known as America's first climate refugees. Yet, despite the everlasting presence of disaster, little in the way of substantive emergency management policy was offered. This week, when MSNBC hosts their own climate forum featuring a number but not all of the presidential primary candidates, they would do well to remember that how to cut future emissions isn't the sum total of climate policy. Instead, the vast majority of the discussion at the event centered around how to mitigate climate change itself electric cars, carbon taxes, vegetarianism, lightbulbs, and plastic straws.

traffic offenses: People who arrived by train at New Delhi railway station had trouble finding transportation to their destinations in the city, according to The Japan Times. Deepak Kanojia, president of a local labor union, said public transport drivers are facing the brunt of the heightened fines. The government hopes the new Motor Vehicles Act will bring order to India's chaotic roads with an almost tenfold increase in fines for traffic offenses. ; The United Front of Transport Associations called for the strike in New Delhi to protest the higher fines, which took effect Sept. 1 as economic growth in India has slumped to a six-year low. While policemen might give private vehicles a miss, they stop yellow taxi plates without fail and start finding problems with that vehicle, he said.

place-less power: In my recent international book Leading the Inclusive City Policy Press I argue that the most important divide facing modern democracies is the growing conflict between place-less and place-based power, according to The Guardian. By place-less power, I mean the exercise of power by decision-makers who are unconcerned by the impact of their decisions on communities living in particular places. But developers are in the way, 14 September . He puts his finger on the central issue when he states that The remote coalition of global property management, pension and investment funds that owns most shopping precincts and malls is, at best, distantly concerned with the local population. Globalisation has meant their power has skyrocketed in the last 30 years. My book provides many examples of cities that are taking on place-less power and delivering just outcomes for residents. This disconnect between power and place largely explains why many towns have been left behind . Fortunately, many countries value local democracy and we can learn from progressive cities elsewhere.

announcement toyota: That was on top of an earlier 10 billion pledge Toyota made shortly before U.S. President Donald Trump took office. ; We view it as a tremendous vote of confidence in Texas and San Antonio and the truck market in the U.S., Christopher Reynolds, the chief administrative officer and head of manufacturing for Toyota in North America, said in a Bloomberg Television interview, according to The Japan Times. The spending is part of Toyota's multidecade production-localization drive, but also reflects a strategy to convince Trump not to follow through on tariffs of as much as 25 percent on imported vehicles and parts. The announcement Toyota is plugging 391 million into its San Antonio truck factory comes six months after the automaker pledged to shell out an additional 3 billion on its U.S. operations by 2021, a move seen as an effort to head off threatened U.S. tariffs on vehicles imported from Japan. The carmaker has publicly pushed back on the administration's claim that foreign automakers pose a national security risk to the U.S. Following a monthslong probe, the administration in May cleared the way for tariffs on imported cars and components. Trump on Monday said the U.S. will reach an initial trade deal with Japan in the coming weeks, but made no mention of his threat of duties on 50 billion worth of Japanese autos. But the White House has put off imposing them while it pursues trade deals with Japan and the European Union. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

funds: We wanted to take advantage of this temporary market dislocation, according to Market Watch. That was our No.1 focus, said Eric Souza, senior portfolio manager at SVB Asset Management, in an interview. Investors wielding spare cash said this week's troubles in the overnight repo market presented one of those rare opportunities to make hay by lending out as much funds as they could to liquidity-starved traders left scrambling before the Federal Reserve's pair of liquidity injections. When Souza walked onto the trading floor in the early morning hours in San Francisco on Tuesday, he said his team didn't balk when repurchasing rates soared as high as 8%. Feeling this would be a short-term market dislocation, he lent out funds to investors eager to borrow funds through the repo market. The spike in repo rates created havoc for borrowers who use leverage to purchase assets and don't always have enough cash on hand, which can cause a need for repeat, overnight funding. No one was screaming at our desk, we were just locking in at what levels we could, said Souza. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
