Global Trade and the Second Trump Presidency with...

IMA Insights ·

2025/01/27

In recent years, global trade has faced major geopolitical headwinds, including trade wars and economic decoupling, particularly between the US and China. The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains, exposing vulnerabilities and catalysing localised production. Rising protectionism has led to a spike in tariffs and other restrictions, undermining free trade principles, and today, the WTO’s dispute resolution mechanism lies broken. Technological competition and sanctions have further complic...

Argentina's Turnaround by Adit Jain

IMA Insights ·

2024/12/15

Javier Milei assumed office, as President of Argentina, where the effects of fiscal irresponsibility, by populist Peronist governments, had reduced what was once a rich nation into the ranks of the third world, amid poverty rates of 50%. With inflation at 211%, practically no growth and reckless restrictions that created price distortions, Argentina has been in a miserable situation. It took both courage and radical reforms to change course. Mr Milei, a self-declared libertarian, believe...

Transfer Pricing with Fatema Hunaid

IMA Insights ·

2024/12/12

Transfer pricing (TP) remains a critical area for CFOs to track and monitor, particularly owing to the ever-evolving nature of TP regulations and deepening enforcement by the tax authorities. Some of the important changes in India’s transfer pricing landscape include the growing use of data analytics, SEBI's new focus on royalty payments as a payout mechanism from India, a growing emphasis on TP to boost tax revenues, a focus on dispute resolution through the Vivad Se Vishwas (VSV) scheme and...

Neuroscience and Business with Arvind Sahay

IMA Insights ·

2024/12/12

Since the 1990s, neuroscience-related research has expanded significantly, uncovering the complex links between brain activity and decision-making. By understanding the neural basis of decisions, business leaders can make more informed choices and create better contexts for each decision. Neuromarketing – which uses neuro- and cognitive science to identify customer needs, desires and preferences – can serve as a powerful tool in any CMO’s arsenal. Similarly, a key part of a CEO's role i...

The Indian Banking Sector with Jaimin Bhatt

IMA Insights ·

2024/12/11

India’s banking sector is quite literally the life-blood of its economy. It powers both industry and consumption and channels savings to more productive uses. Over the last decade, the sector has seen critical reforms, an intense bad-loan clean-up, several waves of consolidation and has undergone a continuous process of maturation, making it one of India’s most technology-centric industries. Looking ahead, the government is expected to catalyse further reforms and take forward the process of ...

As China grapples with the lingering aftermath of Covid-19, its economy is visibly slowing. A once-rapid growth path, driven by infrastructural spending an expanding workforce, is less certain. Coupled with geopolitical tensions and rising costs, China's role as a global production hub is changing rapidly. New stimulus measures have created excitement, but will they impact China’s medium-term growth prospects? Meanwhile, a fast-growing India offers major opportunities for businesses, includin...

Cybersecurity risks continue to rise, with a reported 20% of Indian users falling victim to cyber threats in the first quarter of 2024 alone and several high-profile cases recently coming to light. Scams are becoming more sophisticated, targeting even well-informed individuals. At the same time, with rising penalties for non-compliance, companies are under pressure to tighten their defences.

Update: Trump by Adit Jain

IMA Insights ·

2024/11/09

Donald Trump’s mandate, coupled with the fact that the Republicans are expected to control both the Senate and House, will give him ample sway over Washington. The fear propaganda tom-tommed by the Democratic party and the liberal media on Trump’s operating style, intended to raise alarm, fell to the wayside. In his previous term, he cut taxes and deregulated the economy. The momentum of growth that America witnessed over the past four years is largely accountable to his policies. Often ...

Update - US Interest Rates by Adit Jain

IMA Insights ·

2024/10/16

The impact of US monetary policy spreads across the entire global economic architecture. Fund flows to emerging markets are directly proportional to interest rate differentials. This is logical, as investors seeking higher returns, move funds out of the United States. More recently, the Reserve Bank of India defied market hopes, leaving interest rates unchanged. Logically, therefore, we should expect greater stability in the value of the rupee, as in the values of the other emerging market cu...

Sri Lanka's Elections by Adit Jain

2024/10/12

Sri Lankans, exasperated with corruption and crony capitalism amongst the ruling and business elite, voted for fundamental change. This constituted the basis of the support that drove the victory of Anura Kumara Dissanayake, an outsider from a Marxist political party, in the recently concluded presidential elections. Mr Dissanayake promised to renegotiate the terms of the IMF bailout, eliminate corruption and bring back money siphoned offshore by the previous ruling family – the Rajapak...

The Global Economy with Adit Jain

2024/09/30

The world economy is today delicately poised. America has avoided the recession that analysts have been projecting for over a year, but recent data indicate that it could be at a tipping point. China, meanwhile, is plainly amidst a slowdown while India continues to grow at a fair clip and the Eurozone presents a mixed bag. Guiding the forward view is a highly volatile geopolitical environment, marked by upcoming US elections, a potentially full-blown war in the Middle East and, for India, a n...
