Soft loan is interest free and repayable over a period of 30 years including 10 years grace period. Commercial credit is on OECD concensus rate. LGIUM INDIA USA Date : Jan 31, 1990 Volume No XXXVI NO 1 1995 CANADA First Ever Seminar-cum-Workshop on Marketing of Consumer Goodsin Canada The following is the text of press release issued in New Delhi on Jan 29, 1990 on seminar cum-workshop on marketing of consumer goods in Canada: The first ever Seminar-cum-Workshop on marketing of consumer goods in Canada was inaugurated by Shri K. N. Ardhanareeswaran, Special Secretary, Ministry of Commerce, here today. Speaking on the occasion he said that India's exports to Canada have been on a low scale mainly because of some short comings in the marketing efforts, more than the -2> products as such. A possible reason, he said, could be lack of awareness among the Canadian business circles and the consumers about availability of quality products from India. The bilateral trade between India and Canada has been traditionally in favour of Canada. During the year 1988-89, India's exports to Canada were Rs. 197 crores as against the imports of Rs. 427 crores which indicates a balance of trade in favour of Canada to the extent of Rs. 230 crores. Although the exports to Canada rose by 16 per cent, imports were up by 41 per cent in 1988-89 as compared to the previous year 1987-88. Canada's global imports during 1988 were 131 billion Canadian dollars of which India's share was just 205 million Canadian dollars - less than 0.2 per cent. Drawing the attention of the participants to our exports to USA, Mr. Ardhanareeswaran said the exports has been rising rapidly so as to achieve a favourable trade balance. This, he said, indicated that our products have their own ingenuity and quality and have been able to find acceptance in US market. Our total exports to USA were Rs. 3735 crores in 1988-89, of which the products covered by the present Seminar account for Rs. 2941 crores. He assured the gathering that Government will extend full assistance and facilities for promoting exports. The Seminar will focus attention on marketing of four specific product groups, namely: Textiles including readymade garments, furnishing and made-ups; Carpets, jewellery and handicrafts; leather goods excluding garments; marine products and cashew kernels. During the year 1988-89, India's exports of these products to Canada were Rs. 139 crores. This constitutes 70% of our total exports of Rs. 197 crores to Canada during the year. Readymade garments are the most important item in India's export basket. Their exports were of Rs. 62.77 crores or 45 per cent in the year under reference. Carpets exports and their share were at Rs. 23 crores (16%), Leather and leather manufactures, Rs. 19 crores (13.5%) and textiles, Rs. 12 crores (9%) of our exports of the four product-groups. This Seminar is a unique event of its kind for it is the first time that a product and country specific event has been attempted. It is also for the first time that the importers and consultants from Canada are present to give a feeling of the Canadian market for these products. Delivering the welcome address, Shri V. S. Venkataraman, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Commerce said that Canada offers a huge market potential for the Indian merchandise, in addition to providing a favourable foreign trade regime. India, he said, has the advantage of traditional skills tempered with modern production facilities for these items. Mr. Venkataraman said though the export of these items is steadily increasing, the Government will make subtained efforts to tap the full potential offered by the Canadian market. He expressed the hope that visiting Canadian delegation will provide a deeper insight into the Canadian marketing environment and provide valuable suggestions for further development of our exports. The participants in the workshop included, among others, Canadian importers and Executive Directors, Trade Facilitation office, Ottawa. Senior officers in the Ministry of Commerce and other Government organisations incharge of promoting exports to Canada, Commercial Representatives from High Commission of Canada in India, Leading exporters besides experienced persons from Trade Development Authority, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Export Promotion Council/Commodity Boards.

  • About the Book and Author
    ABOUT THE BOOK Extracts from the Press Release by HarperCollins India Dr Y.V. Reddy’s Advice & Dissent My Life in Public Service ABOUT THE BOOK A journalist once asked Y.V. Reddy, ‘Governor, how independent is the RBI?’ ‘I am very independent,’ Reddy replied. ‘The RBI has full autonomy. I have the permission of my finance minister to tell you that.’ Reddy may have put it lightly but it is a theme he deals with at length in Advice and Dissent. Spanning a long career in public service which began with his joining the IAS in 1964, he writes about decision making at several levels. In his dealings, he was firm, unafraid to speak his mind, but avoided open discord. In a book that appeals to the lay reader and the finance specialist alike, Reddy gives an account of the debate and thinking behind some landmark events, and some remarkable initiatives of his own, whose benefits reached the man on the street. Reading between the lines, one recognizes controversies on key policy decisions which reverberate even now. This book provides a ringside view of the Licence Permit Raj, drought, bonded labour, draconian forex controls, the balance of payments crisis, liberalisation, high finance, and the emergence of India as a key player in the global economy. He also shares his experience of working closely with some of the architects of India’s economic change: Manmohan Singh, Bimal Jalan, C. Rangarajan, Yashwant Sinha, Jaswant Singh and P. Chidambaram. He also worked closely with transformative leaders like N.T. Rama Rao, as described in a memorable chapter.

  • Millennium Development Goals
    The MDGs after 2015: Some reflections on the possibilities Deepak Nayyar This background paper was prepared for the UN System Task Team on the Post-2015 UN Development Agenda. An earlier version was presented to the UN Expert Group meeting held in New York from 27- 29 February. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations. April 2012 Following on the outcome of the 2010 High-level Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly on the Millennium Development Goals, the United Nations Secretary-General established the UN System Task Team in September 2011 to support UN system-wide preparations for the post-2015 UN development agenda, in consultation with all stakeholders. The Task Team is led by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the United Nations Development Programme and brings together senior experts from over 50 UN entities and international organizations to provide system-wide support to the post-2015 consultation process, including analytical input, expertise and outreach. 2 The MDGs after 2015: Some reflections on the possibilities The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which began life at the turn of the century, are the focus of attention among people for different reasons. Some are concerned with the past to review progress. Some concentrate on the present to consider the implications of the financial crisis and the Great Recession in the world economy. Some think about the future and how to traverse the remaining distance. The conjuncture is obviously important. It is time for an evaluation of progress with respect to the objectives set out in the MDGs.
