Warrier's Collage on Sunday September 22, 2024 : Part I

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday, September 22, 2024 Good Morning It's comforting to get reminded when there's a longer gap between two issues of Collage. Travel to Kerala and other preoccupations can be attributed as reasons for a gap of more than ten days between the previous and the current issues of Collage. Recently, I happened to see a message about an elderly person who is staying alone in his house subscribing for a daily newspaper. He tells the "Newspaper Boy" one morning : "Thank you for knocking at my door. I don't read newspapers. But I want you to give me the paper everyday like this, knocking at the door and waiting for me to open the door. The day I don't open, here are three numbers, you should get in touch" In a way, for me, Collage serves a similar purpose. Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday this week. Nice Day M G Warrier A Current Affairs https://m.rbi.org.in/Scripts/BS_SpeechesView.aspx?Id=1464 Global Financial Stability; Risks and Opportunities (Keynote Address by Shri Shaktikanta Das, Governor, Reserve Bank of India - September 13, 2024 - at the Future of Finance Forum 2024 organised by the Bretton Woods Committee, Singapore) Excerpts : India’s vision of global progress emphasises international cooperation that is people-specific, ambitious, action-oriented and decisive. India’s G20 Presidency in 2023 and its continuing contributions thereafter reflects India’s vision of the world being one earth, one family with one future. These priorities include strengthening the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) to address shared global challenges of the 21st century; achieving financial inclusion and productivity gains through digital public infrastructure; debt resolution for lower and middle-income countries; and financing cities of tomorrow, among many others. In conclusion let me say that, India remains committed to the reshaping of the global order in the decades ahead for the betterment of the world. It is now time for everyone to work for ‘one future’ for the entire mankind.
