Top News of the day
  • Fitch Ratings is keeping India’s GDP growth forecast steady at 6.5% for FY26, thanks to the strength of its domestic market. While global economies worry about slowdowns and potential U.S. tariff hikes, India’s low export dependence keeps it relatively shielded.
  • The Bank of Japan decided to keep its interest rate at 0.5%, just as experts expected. While Japan’s economy shows signs of growth, global trade tensions are making things uncertain. Other countries are thinking about cutting rates, but Japan is holding steady for now.
  • A survey found that 34% of Indian families have at least one bank account they can’t access online due to KYC issues, login failures, or dormant status. RBI reports rising complaints, with grievances up 25% last year. The new RBI rule, effective April 2025, will classify inactive accounts as ‘inoperative’ after two years, raising concerns over financial access.
  • India and Malaysia held bilateral talks focusing on trade, semiconductor collaboration, market access, and services sector cooperation. With $20B in trade, both nations aim to finalize the ASEAN-India trade agreement by 2025.
