Savings, Borrowings & External Resources NEW DELHI: The government has stayed with the borrowing plan for the fiscal, as announced in the budget, sending a strong signal that it will try and meet the fiscal deficit target despite a sharp cut in corporate tax rate that is expected to cost Rs 1.45 lakh crore. It will borrow Rs 2.68 lakh crore in the second half of the fiscal, having borrowed Rs 4.42 crore in the first half, of the total planned Rs 7.1 lakh crore for FY20, the finance ministry said on Monday. “Rs 2.68 lakh crore borrowing indicates that the fiscal glide path as indicated in the budget is being maintained,” said economic affairs secretary Atanu Chakraborty on Monday, at a media briefing. Separately released data on Monday showed better fiscal deficit for April-August, at 78.7% of the budget estimate for FY20, much better than 94.7% for the same period last year. The decline in growth to a six-year low of 5% and the subsequent measures to lift growth have raised concerns that government may miss the target for FY20. The government did not say if it would go ahead with maiden overseas sovereign borrowing announced in the budget. The Rs 2.68 lakh crore borrowing in the second half, 37.75% of the total gross borrowing, will be spread over 17 weekly auctions of Rs 16,000 crore each. The last two auctions will be Rs 14,000 crore each. Experts have said that government’s move to maintain budgeted borrowing levels showed commitment to maintaining the fiscal glide path but it faced an uphill task. “The government is determined to keep fiscal deficit in check and for that I think they will have to push divestment… and maybe other sources of revenue like asset monetisation etc.” said DK Joshi, chief economist at Crisil. “We expect a shortfall relative to the budgeted target for FY2020 for the tax revenues,” said Aditi Nayar, principal economist ICRA, adding that the situation will become clearer by end of the third quarter. Final borrowings will depend on shortfall in revenues and flows into small savings scheme. Yield on 10-year government bond fell by 4 basis points and closed at 6.7% on Monday. A basis point is onehundredth of one per cent. The government had cut basic corporate tax rates in a move that is expected to have an impact of Rs 1.45 lakh crore on the government’s revenue collections. SOVEREIGN BORROWINGS Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman had, in her budget speech, said the government would start raising a part of its gross borrowing programme in external markets in external currencies. However,crackIAS.com there was no further clarity on this during Monday’s briefing. “We need very careful calibrations and deliberations before it enters in the market. The work on that is presently going on to work out the structures and various pros and cons and it is a process which is long,” secretary said. “For this year, all borrowing of the government will presently be in rupee- denominated bonds.” FISCAL DEFICIT India’s fiscal deficit stood at Rs 5.54 lakh crore at the end of August, which is 78.7% of the budgeted estimate of Rs 7.03 lakh crore for the current fiscal year, or 3.3% of the gross domestic product (GDP). Total government spending during the period was Rs 11.75 lakh crore, Page 3 9.75% higher than the year-ago figure of Rs 10.71 lakh crore. Capital expenditure, however, slowed in the current financial year at 40.3 % of the budget estimate against 44.1% in the year- ago period. Total receipts in April-August remained at Rs 6.21 lakh crore, 29.8% of the budget estimate for the full fiscal.

    U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration REGISTER A Daily Summary of Motor Carrier Applications and of Decisions and Notices Issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration DECISIONS AND NOTICES RELEASED June 19, 2017 -- 10:30 AM NOTICE Please note the timeframe required to revoke a motor carrier's operating authority for failing to have sufficient levels of insurance on file is a 33 day process. The process will only allow a carrier to hold operating authority without insurance reflected on our Licensing and Insurance database for up to three (3) days. Revocation decisions will be tied to our enforcement program which will focus on the operations of uninsured carriers. This process will further ensure that the public is adequately protected in case of a motor carrier crash. Accordingly, we are adopting the following procedure for revocation of authority; 1) The first notice will go out three (3) days after FMCSA receives notification from the insurance company that the carrier's policy will be cancelled in 30 days. This notification informs the carrier that it must provide evidence that it is in full compliance with FMCSA's insurance regulations within 30 days. 2) If the carrier has not complied with FMCSA's insurance requirements after 30 days, a final decision revoking the operating authority will be issued.

  • Artist's Proposal
    Gabbert Artist’s Proposal 14th Street Roundabout Page 434 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for this opportunity. For your consideration I propose a work tentatively titled “Flame”. I believe it to be simple-yet- compelling, symbolic, and appropriate to this setting. Dimensions will be 20 feet high by 14.5 feet wide by 14.5 feet deep. It sits on a 3.5 feet high by 9 feet in diameter base. (not accurately dimensioned in the 3D graphics) The composition. The design has substance, and yet, there is practically no impediment to drivers’ visibility. After review of the design by a structural engineer the flame flicks may need to be pierced with openings to meet the 150 mph wind velocity requirement. I see no problem in adjusting the design to accommodate any change like this. Fire can represent our passions, zeal, creativity, and motivation. The “flame” can suggest the light held by the Statue of Liberty, the fire from Prometheus, the spirit of the city, and the hearth-fire of 612.207.8895 | jgsculpture.webs.com | [email protected] 14th Street Roundabout Page 435 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor home. It would be lit at night with a soft glow from within. A flame creates a sense of place because everyone is drawn to a fire. A flame sheds light and warmth. Reference my “Hopes and Dreams” in my work example to get a sense of what this would look like. The four circles suggest unity and wholeness, or, the circle of life, or, the earth/universe.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
