Lot of comment on RBI becoming Pro Growth & keeping Inflation in back ground. Few Points to ponder.
- Inflation is being pushed on back burner globally. ECB moved from Inflation to Growth long back. US Fed has publicly stated to tolerate higher Inflation.

 RBI pre Inflation targeting framework was managing Growth, Inflation, Govt Borrowing, Rupee and Financial stability remarkably well. Nobel Laurate Joseph Stiglitz complemented RBI stating that US Sub prime crisis would have been averted if Dr Reddy was US Fed Governor.
Despite stupendous success of the RBI in managing conflicting needs of Indian Economy, Inflation Targetting Framework was established without proper definition/measurement of Inflation.
This was like attributing credit of Mahabharat Victory to Single minded focus of Arjun (could only see Bird's eye while shooting arrow) than all round guidance of Shree Krishna.
Oddly Central Banks around the world are now following RBI in managing conflicting objectives as per the need of economy.
There are several omissions in calculating Inflation in India
- Globally feature improvements is considered for Inflation. Feature enhanced product will be non inflationary despite price increases. We look at TV price irrespective of its transition from B & W to LCD.
Globally Central Banks focus on Inflation excluding Food and Fuel. They accept the limitation that monetary policy can't influence OPEC or Rain God. We focus on Inflation where major part comes from Food & Fuel. Strangely Gold is part of Inflation calculation.
Calculation of Inflation is a different issue due to limitation on data capturing / price variation across India. For e.g WPI Inflation was 1.48 % in Oct 20 & 1.32 % in Sept 20. CPI Inflation was 7.61 % in Oct 20 & 7.34 % in Sept 20.
If we measure effectiveness of monetary policy from WPI it is excessively tight as Inflation is below RBI's target range.
From CPI angle it is excessively soft as Inflation is above RBI's target range.
Argument of High liquidity keeping CPI elevated doesn't make sense as YTD Bank credit growth is Rs 5.55 Lac crore (PY Rs 7.15 Lac crore). Bank Credit Growth is down Rs 1.60 Lac crore YTD. How can liquidity push inflation higher If it remains trapped between RBI & Banks ?
Higher Inflation impacting poor people also doesn't take into account concessional food grains given under PDS & other welfare schemes. Actual Food Inflation is much lower than reported food inflation if we take into account those data.
India Inc is running at much lower capacities as reflected in 7 % sales degrowth in NIFTY cos for Sept 20 quarter. Lack of demand is witnessed across sectors as reflected in negative GDP growth in FY 21. Supply chain disruptions are probably a bigger contributor to Inflation
Interest cost indirectly contributes to Inflation. Most MSME borrows money at high single digit / low double digit real interest rates. The depositors don't benefit from those rates as intermediarion cost remains high due to non resolutions of NPAs.
Raising Interest rates restricts creation of supply and increases cost of product & services. This creates a vicious cycle of higher Inflation, higher interest rates & lower Growth. Arguments of tight monetary policy for controlling Inflation overlooks this crucial aspect.
Our peers have brought inflation under control by lowering rates, pumping liquidity, supporting entrepreneurship and creating supply more than the demand. Our focus should be to create supply rather than curtail demand over long term to control Inflation.
Glad that the RBI has got the Shakti to come back to its original Krishna Avatar of managing conflicting objectives of Growth, Inflation, Rupee, Financial Stability and Govts Borrowing Program.
ECB & US Fed can ignore Inflation but India can't argument, doesn't take into account that they are growing at lower single digit & we need to grow at lower double digit. Negative real interest rates has been a catalyst for faster growth by encouraging investments in many places

Thread: Introducing $JAX.v $JXMNF Jaxon Mining, who’s 100% owned 466 square km Hazelton property in the Skeena Arch will prove that this mineral-rich region rivals that of the Golden Triangle. Recent chip samples in multiple surface grabs show grades of up to 5300 g/t Ag


Amongst other achievements and experience, CEO John King Burns was the former founder and chairman of Northern Orion, which was then acquired by Yamana in a $1 billion transaction, so he knows how to hold on when you have something good. Was also former chairman of Dolly Varden

The Hazelton property hosts 4 main areas of interest: Netalzul (where most of the high grade silver has been recently identified), Red Springs, Blunt Mountain, and Max. Drilling had been originally planned for Red Springs, but I believe efforts have been diverted to Netalzul


Property is close proximity to all facilities and services: highway, railway, power, and mining services.


This is the first systematic exploration of the highly mineralized property. Sporadic historical artisanal workings from the early 1900’s are scattered around the property. There’s silver where there was silver, and in these cases, only the surface has been scratched (literally)

"if you demand more pay, we will replace you with robots" is not a reason to pay people less than it costs them to work for you, it is a reason to have your corporation taken over by the state, or dismantle an unwilling state and rebuild one that does.

corporations and governments are out here accelerating your deaths so they can monetize your remains while some of you assholes go "well $15 is too much"

$15 was insufficient 20 years ago, and it's insufficient now. pay people enough to feed their babies or they will kill you.

if people have nothing left to lose they will act like people with nothing left to lose

i cannot make it clearer than this

capitalism only "works" if you have enough police per so many thousand desperately poor individuals.

capitalism only "works" if you employ enough human beings to be the face of your blatant exploitation.

go ahead and automate and watch how fast people sabotage your shit.

if your government does not keep you fed, healthy, and safe, it has no reason to exist.

government - leadership of any kind, tbh - only exists to centralise the management of common needs, so we don't all have to individually scrabble to survive every day, on our own.

https://t.co/fa3GX9VnW0

Innocuous 1 sentence, but its a full economic theory at play.
Let me break it down for you. (1/n)


On September 30, 2020, I wrote an article for @CFASocietyIndia where I explained that RBI is all set to lose its ability to set interest rates if it continues to fiddle with the exchange rate (2/n)

What do I mean, "fiddle with the exchange rate"?

In essence, if RBI opts and continues to manage exchange rate, then that is "fiddling with the exchange rate"

RBI has done that in the past and has restarted it in 2020 - very explicitly. (3/n)

First in March 2020, it opened a Dollar/INR swap of $2B with far leg to be unwound in September 2020.

Implying INR will be bought from the open markets in order to prevent INR from falling vis a vis USD (4/n)

The Second aspect is now, that dollar inflow is happening, and the forex reserves swelled -> implying the rupee is appreciating, RBI again intervened from September, by selling INR in spot markets. (5/n)

I get asked for writing tips a lot. Of all the ones I’ve given, here are a few of the ones that seem to hold true and remain somewhat universal or at least mostly unobjectionable:

#amwriting #writingtips

1. If you are a fast writer (i.e., if you compose first drafts very quickly) then you absolutely must become a slow editor. Much of what I call “writing” is really, for me, editing.

2. If you don’t read you cannot write a lot or well. Sure, maybe you can read like a maniac for a decade and then read less after that, but without some large volume of intake, there will never be a meaningful output.

2.1 I sometimes say that I feel like writing without reading is like trying to run a marathan on a cracker. And sadly I see many students struggling to write when they have simply never read enough to fuel that demand of the task at hand.

3. All writing is writing if one decides to treat it that way. If one takes some degree of intentional will when sending emails, posting on social media and writing notes and marginalia, then all of that can count as meaningful daily writing.

RT-PCR corona (test) scam

Symptomatic people are tested for one and only one respiratory virus. This means that other acute respiratory infections are reclassified as


2/12

It is tested exquisitely with a hypersensitive non-specific RT-PCR test / Ct >35 (>30 is nonsense, >35 is madness), without considering Ct and clinical context. This means that more acute respiratory infections are reclassified as


3/12

The Drosten RT-PCR test is fabricated in a way that each country and laboratory perform it differently at too high Ct and that the high rate of false positives increases massively due to cross-reaction with other (corona) viruses in the "flu


4/12

Even asymptomatic, previously called healthy, people are tested (en masse) in this way, although there is no epidemiologically relevant asymptomatic transmission. This means that even healthy people are declared as COVID


5/12

Deaths within 28 days after a positive RT-PCR test from whatever cause are designated as deaths WITH COVID. This means that other causes of death are reclassified as
