India’s rise as a top economy hinges on channelising household savings into productive assets: Report

India's potential to emerge as a leading economy depends on effectively channeling household savings into productive assets, according to a report by Elara Securities. While the structure of household savings is changing due to favorable demographics and robust digital infrastructure, financial savings remain under-penetrated compared to other large economies. Rising gross financial savings, if directed towards capital markets and pension schemes, can bolster investments and spur economic growth, shifting away from traditional assets like bank deposits.

Japan’s economy unexpectedly slips into recession, loses 3rd largest economy tag

Japan's economy unexpectedly slipped into a recession in the October-December period, with provisional GDP contracting by 0.4% year-on-year and 0.1% quarter-on-quarter. Weak domestic demand, attributed to high inflation, hampered growth. This challenges the Bank of Japan's interest rate normalization plans and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's fiscal policies. Despite some positive indicators, such as a low unemployment rate, sluggish growth is anticipated due to negative household savings rates. Germany overtook Japan as the world's 3rd largest economy.

Geoff Dennis sees limited long-term impact from US government shutdown

Geoff Dennis, an independent emerging markets commentator, believes that the U.S. government shutdown's impact hinges on its duration. Short shutdowns usually have minimal economic effects, while longer ones could pressure the economy, potentially leading the Federal Reserve to cut rates. The soft U.S. dollar boosts emerging markets, whereas gold remains attractive amidst uncertainty and inflation concerns. Investors turn to safe-haven assets like gold, anticipating continued gains as the dollar weakens.
