INTEREST RATES IN INDIA LIKELY TO RISE
Investors are becoming uncomfortable with the surge in money printing by central banks and that has also led to the ongoing rush of investments into digital cryptocurrency. The balance sheet of the US Federal Reserve has jumped from $4 trillion to around $7 trillion in 2020, a 75% growth in a single year, thereby expanding the supply of dollars at an unprecedented pace. The debasement of the US dollar has been a major source of support to gold prices. However, the returns on gold during the year have been far outstripped by the multi-fold rise in digital cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin, the most famous of the cryptocurrencies, rose 700% in 2020 and, over the course of the last 5 years, it has given returns of 85 times!

Union Budget 2021 A Perspective – Part-1
Unfairness The Economic Survey 2021-22 projected a V-shaped recovery in growth of 11 percent for the economy. Further, the Survey states that though the economy is expected to contract by 7.7% in 2020-21, the growth projection comes in the backdrop of International Monetary Fund’s recent forecast that India would be the fastest growing major economy in the world of 11.5 percent in 2021-22 and 6.8 percent in 2022-23. Prima-facie, the Budget lacks a stable fiscal policy-One would not deny that a stable fiscal policy is to a nation what a stable family life is to an individual!
Exercise For Covid-19 Survivors
Covid-19 tends to affect older patients more severely. Those who survive are at high risk of sarcopenia, malnutrition, depression, and delirium. Post-covid-19 chronic pain may affect patients of any age but seems to be commoner in elderly patients.

STRENGTHEN INDIA'S DEBT MARKET TO STRENGTHEN NBFCs
India’s financial markets are still a work-in-progress and there’s a dearth of alternatives to bank funding, especially for the long-term. The solution, therefore, is to deepen India’s bond markets that would free NBFCs from excessive dependence on banks to make the occasional failures like IL&FS less traumatic for the banking and financial system. The development of an active and liquid corporate bond market will greatly help in the transparent and efficient financing of business and industry, especially NBFCs.
