Andhra Pradesh ● The FATF is an inter-governmental body that works to set standards and promote effective implementation of legal, regulatory and operational measures for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and other related threats to the integrity of the international financial system. ● A country is put on the grey list when it fails to curb terrorism financing and money laundering. ● Putting a country on the blacklist means shutting all doors to international finance for that country. ● Its Secretariat is located at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) headquarters in Paris. ● Member Countries: As of 2019, it consists of thirty-seven member jurisdictions. India is one of the members. ● Once a country is blacklisted, FATF calls on other countries ● to apply enhanced due diligence and counter measures, ● increasing the cost of doing business with the country ● and in some cases severing it altogether. As of now ● there are only one countries in the blacklist — ● North Korea — and 12 on the grey list, including ● Pakistan, , Syria and Yemen. ● Inflation is defined as a situation where there is sustained, unchecked increase in the general price level and a fall in the purchasing power of money. Thus, inflation is a condition of price rise. The reason for price rise can be classified under two main heads : (1) Increase in demand (2) Reduced supply. ● Inflation can be measured at three levels – producer, wholesaler and retailer (consumer). Prices generally rise in each level till the commodity finally reach the hand of consumer. ● In India, the index which shows the inflation rate at retail level is known as Consumer Price Index (CPI). CPI is based on 260 commodities, but includes certain services too. There were four Consumer Price Indices covering different socio-economic groups in the economy. ● These four indices were Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI- IW); Consumer Price Index for Agricultural Labourers (CPI-AL); Consumer Price Index for Rural Labourers (CPI -RL) and Consumer Price Index for Urban Non-Manual Employees (CPI-UNME). ● CPI is now using a new series on the base 2010=100 for all-India and States/UTs separately for rural, urban and combined. ● The Central Statistics Office (CSO), Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation releases Consumer Price Indices (CPI). CPI is based on retail prices and this index is used to calculate the Dearness Allowance (DA) for government employees. ● Headline Inflation vs Core Inflation ● Causes of Inflation ● There can be two set of factors that can cause inflation in an economy. They are Demand Pull and Cost Push. ● Demand Pull Factors ● Rise in population. ● Black money. ● Rise in income. ● Excessive government expenditure. ● Cost Push Factors ● Infrastructure bottlenecks which lead rise in production and distribution costs. ● Rise in Minimum Support Price (MSP). ● Rise in international prices. ● Hoarding and black marketing. ● Rise in indirect taxes.
