India's economy projected to grow at 6.4% despite global headwinds: UN
INDIA MARKET | Tue, 21 Apr 2026, 11:31AM IST
India's economy is projected to grow at 6.4 per cent this year and 6.6 per cent in 2027, according to a report by the United Nations. The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) said in the report released Monday that economies in South and South-West Asia grew by 5.4% in 2025, compared to 5.2% in 2024, driven largely by strong growth in India. India's growth edged up to 7.4% in 2025, supported by robust consumption, especially from the rural economy along with goods and services tax rate cuts, and export frontloading ahead of the United States tariffs, the report, titled Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2026, said. Further, it added that although Asia-Pacific economies continued to grow faster than the rest of the world, deepening geopolitical conflicts and rising trade protectionism are adding pressure on economic prospects. Rising geopolitical conflicts and elevated tariffs have spiked uncertainty and are weighing on the ...

With tariffs stalled, Trump's China policy drifts
INDIA NEWS | Tue, 21 Apr 2026, 11:24AM IST
Washington: When President Donald Trump returned to office in 2025, he vowed to use tariffs to reset relations with China, which he said was "killing" the United States with its trade policies.Now, more than a year into his second term, Trump's aggressive trade moves have not fundamentally altered Beijing's trade or military actions. Instead, Washington's China policy appears adrift, causing confusion among officials and driving contradictory decisions. Also Read: Trump says China wont send weapons to Iran, very happy with Hormuz openingThe administration's erratic moves toward Beijing have been on full display in recent months. Those include adding top Chinese companies to a military blacklist only to withdraw the list moments later, and a decision by Trump to greenlight AI semiconductor sales to China within minutes of his government labeling Chinese access to them a national security threat. As Trump prepares for his planned May 14-15 visit to China to meet President Xi Jinping, the first such trip by an American president in eight years, critics argue such inconsistencies, coupled with his improvisational dealmaking style, have undermined the U.S. in its competition with Beijing."You have departments and agencies acting on their own accord, often with different objectives, and even at times in countervailing ways," said Ely Ratner, a former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs."On any given day, it feels like the policy can zigzag in either direction," Ratner said.Responding to Reuters questions on the administration's approach to China, White House spokesperson Kush Desai said Trump's trade agenda had "flipped the script" on decades of failed policy that hollowed out the U.S. industrial base."By leveraging our economy - the biggest and best consumer market in the world - and his great relationship with President Xi, President Trump has empowered America to finally operate from a position of strength in global diplomatic and trade matters," Desai said.NO PLAN BTrump launched his second term China policy with a dramatic trade broadside, initially hiking tariffs on Chinese goods to around 145%. Beijing did not back down, however, and retaliated with tariff increases of its own. The countries eventually forged an uneasy detente after China, which holds a virtual monopoly on the refining and processing of the world's rare earths, threatened to choke off supplies of the minerals needed by U.S. industries.A February ruling by the Supreme Court invalidating many of Trump's duties further undercut the administration's strategy."Their entire original strategy was centered around using tariffs to pressure China into major concessions. That effort quickly ran aground," said Scott Kennedy, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank. "There has been no coherent Plan B."Also Read: Is Trump the president who lost Asia to China?The tariffs did produce at least one result Trump has sought: the U.S. goods trade deficit with China decreased by 32% to $202 billion in 2025 compared to 2024, U.S. government data show. But tariffs have not changed Beijing's mercantilist trade policies, and their fitful use likely reduced industry incentive to reshore manufacturing, a major goal of Trump's America First approach. The U.S. lost 91,000 manufacturing jobs from February to December of last year.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who have run China policy instead of hawkish Secretary of State Marco Rubio, appear to have lowered expectations for an overhaul in commercial relations, shifting emphasis to a new "managed trade." "Where do we want to be with China? We want relations to be stable. We want our trade to be more balanced. We want it to be in non-sensitive goods," Greer said in March.In the face of Trump's turmoil, China has sought to portray itself as the responsible power."We ... stay committed to acting as a positive and stable force for good," its foreign ministry said in January when asked if Beijing benefited from the chaotic U.S. approach.CONFLICTING SIGNALSThe administration's reversals haven't just been on tariffs.In December, Trump declared on social media that he had approved the controversial sale of advanced Nvidia H200 AI semiconductors to China, the very chips his Justice Department only 30 minutes earlier said were being smuggled to China, constituting a threat to national security. Two U.S. officials told Reuters those conflicting signals left them and others in the government flummoxed.In February, Trump's Pentagon blacklisted top Chinese technology companies for allegedly aiding the Chinese military, only to mysteriously withdraw the list an hour later with little explanation.In the fall, the Commerce Department issued rules to extend export controls to thousands of subsidiaries of Chinese companies, arguing it closed a significant loophole by which foreign companies could access sensitive technology. But the U.S. paused those measures, along with planned U.S. port fees for Chinese-built vessels intended to boost American shipbuilding, in the face of China's threat to restrict rare earths."These contradictions ultimately trace back to President Trump, who makes decisions in the moment, unconstrained by a broader strategy," said Zack Cooper, who studies U.S. strategy in Asia at the American Enterprise Institute think tank.'TAKING PAWNS'Some of Trump's actions have put Beijing on the back foot.His military operations in Iran and Venezuela have weakened two countries that have been close partners for China as well as significant oil suppliers.Trump in December approved $11 billion in weapons sales to Taiwan, a major boost for the democratically governed island China claims as its territory.He also pressured Panama to dislodge a Hong Kong port operator from around the Panama Canal and blockaded oil from reaching Communist-run Cuba. "Iran was an extremely powerful signal to the Chinese that the United States continues to have overmatch," said Alex Gray, a former senior national security official during Trump's first term.But the costly war with Iran has burned through advanced missile stockpiles and redirected U.S. military assets away from Asia. And even the additional support for Taiwan has been tempered by fears that Trump might barter away U.S. backing for a favorable trade deal from Xi."If this is a chess match, the U.S. is taking pawns off the periphery rather than controlling the center of the board. Beijing doesn't like it, but it's an inconvenience rather than a strategic setback," said Jonathan Czin, a China expert at the Brookings Institution.Meanwhile, Trump's antagonism toward American allies - over the NATO alliance, tariffs and the Iran conflict - may erode the hard-earned consensus on the need to push back against China's actions on the global stage. To Beijing, the U.S. approach looks like institutional breakdown, said Wang Dong, a professor at China's Peking University, adding that China would not be diverted from its strategic course by short-term "gambits.""While transactional tactics and coercive signaling persist, they are increasingly overshadowed by deep coordination failures across the U.S. government," Wang said. "This inconsistency erodes U.S. credibility."

Foreign ownership can boost Indian financial firms' credit profile: Fitch
INDIA NEWS | Tue, 21 Apr 2026, 11:06AM IST
Fitch Ratings on Tuesday said significant ownership by foreign shareholders can be positive for Indian financial institutions' credit profiles through long-term capital, as well as lifting of governance standards in some cases.
However, foreign interest is not in itself a reliable signal of stronger credit fundamentals. Transactions that strengthen internal controls, risk management and leadership accountability can be more credit-relevant than those purely for financial gains, it noted.
Fitch said recent greater interest from foreign investors indicates their rising confidence in India's long-term growth prospects, the financial sector's regulations and oversight, and improved risk governance.
Fitch believes investors will seek platforms with scalable distribution and local expertise. "Acquirors with experience in developed markets may introduce enhancements in risk controls and board oversight," it said, adding that the presence of reputable strategic shareholders can potentially

Musk took home $54,080 pay in 2025 at SpaceX
INDIA NEWS | Tue, 21 Apr 2026, 10:59AM IST
NEW YORK, - SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell earned $85.8 million in total compensation last year, a company prospectus showed, placing her among the highest-paid U.S. executives. Shotwell, who is also chief operating officer, earned a salary of $1 million, with most of her compensation coming from stock options and awards, according to an excerpt of SpaceX's S-1 filing. Companies use the registration document to disclose their finances and risks before going public. Elon Musk's SpaceX has filed confidentially for a U.S. IPO, Reuters reported this month, paving the way for a potential record-breaking listing valued at around $1.75 trillion. Chief Financial Officer Bret Johnson earned total compensation of $9.8 million, while billionaire CEO Musk, the majority shareholder in SpaceX, paid himself a salary of $54,080, the excerpt from the prospectus showed. SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The compensation figures, which have not been previously reported, place Shotwell's pay above many other high-profile tech executives. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella earned $79 million in 2024, while Apple's Tim Cook took home $75 million, according to compensation data compiled by Equilar. Shotwell has a net worth of $3.4 billion, according to Forbes. Although Musk is the public face of SpaceX, 62-year-old Shotwell manages much of the company's day-to-day grind. That involves converting Musk's futuristic vision into the practical realities of manufacturing rockets, deploying satellites and lining up commercial, government and military customers. Shotwell joined SpaceX in 2002 as vice president of business development, becoming employee No.7 at the then-fledgling company. She has been a central behind-the-scenes figure in building demand for SpaceX's reusable Falcon 9 rocket, as well as its Starlink satellite broadband constellation, which now generates the bulk of the company's revenue and profit. A mechanical engineer by training, Shotwell began her career at Chrysler Motors before moving into the space industry.
