Exporters want stimulus to continue

With an expected rise in the key lending rates the government should continue with the stimulus measures to support exporters, an industry body said today. - Non-tariff barriers concern govt, exporters - Oil chiefs gather in war-scarred Angola - Christmas season brings cheers for handicraft exporters - No plan to ban or limit cotton exports: Maran - Acute labour shortage spoiling coffee party - FICCI seeks more sops to bolster economy The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) said it expects the government to continue with the stimulus packages, announced to soften the impact of the global economic downturn, in interest of exporters. Noting that the stimulus packages have had a positive impact on the key sectors, the federation said exports are likely to reach $165-170 billion this fiscal. "The FIEO hopes the government will continue with the stimulus packages, particularly subvention of the interest rates, for exports as interest rates are set to move upward," FIEO President A Sakthivel said in the release. The domestic export sector grew 18.2 per cent in November at $13,199 million, as against $11,163 million in the year-ago period. "This is a clear indication of the adaptability of exporters and, of course, the positive impact of the stimulus extended by the government," the exporters body said.

Letters: Metro-man
Shyamal Majumdar’s “Game Changers” (Dec 28) did a good job talking of the Indians who have changed the last decade, and predictably the list begins with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and contains the Ambani brothers, LN Mittal and even golden oldies like Amitabh Bachchan. Majumdar’s list, however, is incomplete without mentioning people such as E Sreedharan, the chief of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). At a time when everyone associated the public sector with poorly executed projects, Sreedharan proved them wrong and gave the Capital a world-class Metro that is the envy of many. All of this, it is important to keep in mind, was executed within the government system as well as with public sector salaries.
