Rupee suffers 43-paise knock to end at life-time low of 69.05 against dollar Mumbai: The rupee on Thursday took a hard 43-paise knock to close below the 69 level for the first time at a historic low of 69.05 against the US currency as upbeat comments on the US economy by the Federal Reserve chairman drove the greenback to one-year high levels higher against global currencies.

The state of state government finances
Even though state governments collectively spend much more than the Union government every year, state budgets do not attract the attention they deserve. Some financial market analysts keep an eye on state budgets, but it remains largely an academic exercise since bond market investors neither reward nor punish states depending on their fiscal situations. However, at the aggregate level, the state of state government finances has wider implications. It is in this context that the annual study of state government finances by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) becomes important. The latest edition, published last week, shows that states missed the fiscal deficit target of 3% of gross domestic product (GDP) for the third year in a row. The fiscal deficit of states is estimated to be at 3.1% of GDP in 2017-18. This higher fiscal deficit at the state level in recent years has moderated the benefit of fiscal consolidation by the Central government. Higher borrowing, either by the Union or state governments, puts pressure on available financial resources and increases interest rates. India’s general government deficit is one of the highest among its peers. To be sure, after the implementation of the fiscal responsibility and budget management rules in the last decade, state governments improved their finances significantly. While the deterioration in 2015-16 and 2016-17 was largely due to the takeover of debt of power distribution companies under the Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojana (Uday) scheme, government finances in the last fiscal were affected by factors such as a shortfall in revenue, implementation of pay commission recommendations and farm loan waivers. Some of these factors will continue to affect state government finances in the current year as well. As states aim to consolidate their finances by reducing the fiscal deficit to 2.6% of GDP in the current year, at least three broad issues are worth highlighting. First, fiscal slippage in recent years has also led to deterioration in the quality of expenditure, with a rise in revenue expenditure. What this means is that higher fiscal deficits have not augmented state capacity, which can push growth. One reason for higher expenditure in the last fiscal, for instance, was a sharp rise in salaries. States employ more people than the Central government. Further, as per the revised estimates for 2017-18, debt waivers dented state governments’ budget to the extent of 0.32% of GDP. Put differently, if states had resisted populist farm loan waivers, their finances would have been in much better shape. Loan waivers are unlikely to benefit states in the long run. Studies have shown that while they reduce household debt, loan waivers do not help increase investment or productivity. On the contrary, formal financial institutions are reluctant to lend after loan waivers. This could make access to formal credit more difficult for some farmers.

MS Dhoni is not retiring, it is all rubbish, says Ravi Shastri
Ravi Shastri ended speculation on social media which wondered if MS Dhoni was going to retire from all formats of the game soon.
New Delhi : India cricket team’s coach Ravi Shastri has quashed all social media talk of MS Dhoni retiring over an innocous moment following the third ODI against England. Video grab of Dhoni taking the ball from the umpire led many to believe that the veteran is going to retire – much like how he took the stumps following India and Australia’s Test draw in 2014. A few days later, he surprisingly announced retirement from the longest format of the game. Dhoni asked for the ball from umpires Bruce Oxenford (Australia) and Michael Gough (England) as the teams
walked back towards the pavilion. India lost the third ODI by 8-wickets and with that the series 2-1 for first bilateral series lost since 2016. Shastri dismissed all speculation on Dhoni’s retirement on Wednesday. “MS wanted to show the ball to Bharat Arun. He wanted to show him the wear and tear the ball had endured, to get a general idea of what the conditions were like,” Shastri clarified to Times of India. Even with social media rife with speculation that former India captain will soon bid a final goodbye to all formats, Shastri ended that with one line.

SPORTS ROUNDUP
Arjun Tendulkar’s poor India U19 debut steals focus from teammates
F1 champion Lewis Hamilton signs new contract with Mercedes New Delhi : Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has ended months of stalling and deliberation by finally signing a new contract with Mercedes. The fourtime world champion penned a new deal with Mercedes until 2020, when the current set of F1 regulations end. No figures were given in a Mercedes statement on Thursday, but it is reportedly estimated at 40 million pounds ($52 million) per year. “It’s good to put pen to paper, announce it, and then get on with business as usual,” Hamilton said. “We are on the same wavelength both on and off track, and I am looking forward to winning more.” Mercedes has won
the past four drivers’ and constructors’ championships _ with Hamilton clinching three of them _ but this season is testing the Silver Arrows team. Hamilton trails Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel by eight points, and Mercedes is 20 points behind Ferrari in the constructors’ championship. The 33-year-old Hamilton has won 65 races _ 44 with Mercedes _ and secured 124 career podiums. He is the F1 record holder with 76 pole positions. His number of wins is second only to seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher’s tally of 91. “I’m very confident that Mercedes is the right place to be over the coming years,” Hamilton said.
New Delhi : The weight of the Tendulkar surname has its virtues as well its pitfalls. Arjun Tendulkar would have realised that on a cricket pitch, where the ultimate measure of success is performance, the surname does not count for much but is enough to get media attention, even at the expense of his other performing teammates. Even though it is well known that every time he comes out to bat or bowl, every minuscule of his performance will be dissected and discussed. And it has been proven true in his maiden India U19 appearance which has taken away the limelight from teammates Ayush Badoni and Atharwa Taide during the ongoing Youth Test series against Sri Lanka. Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun did not have an ideal start to his career as India U-19 player as he managed to take only
a wicket in the first Sri Lankan innings and he did not bother the scorers, getting out for a duck. But sadly the focus has been on him while neglecting Badoni who hammered an unbeaten 185 besides taking four wickets, and Atharwa Taide, who cracked 113 off 160 balls. Riding on their centuries, India reached a mammoth total of 589. In reply, Sri Lanka were 177/3 at the end of Day 3, with Tendulkar toiling away for 7 overs without taking a wicket. Arjun’s selection to the Indian under-19 team was widely reported and dissected and even started a nepotism debate on social media. His performances have so far been modest and the fact was not lost upon the netizens, who began comparing him with sons of fomer cricketers Rohan Gavaskar and Sanjay Manjrekar.
Was giving him a compliment: Pat Cummins on Virat Kohli’s comments Canberra : Australia seamer Pat Cummins on Thursday reverted back from his previous comments that India skipper Virat Kohli will not score a century in Australia during the bilateral series starting from November this year. The 25-year old bowler, in June, spoke to veteran broadcaster Bruce McAvaney in an on-stage interview, in which he said, “My brave, bold prediction; I’d say I think Virat Kohli is not going to get a hundred and we’re going
to knock them off over here.” But the bowler, in an interview to Cricket Australia, clarified his words were misinterpreted and he was trying to compliment the Indian captain. “I was surprised by the traction the comments I made about Virat Kohli got,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia website. “I was almost trying to do the opposite to the way they were perceived. I was trying to pay him a huge compliment and say that my big
Business
wish list for the summer was he doesn’t score a hundred. He’s obviously so important to the team and is such a gun batsman, so him not scoring runs would go a long way to helping us win. But I certainly didn’t mean to say he’s no good because I couldn’t hold him in higher regard,” he added. The fast bowler further added that he was just talking about his plans for the upcoming series. “Bruce McAvaney just asked me what my big prediction was that I’d

Trump tweeted a list of topics discussed at the summit, including terrorism, security for Israel, Mideast peace, Ukraine, North Korea and more, and wrote: “There are many answers, some easy and some hard, to these problems… but they can ALL be solved!” “I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed,” he wrote. Despite bipartisan criticism, Trump pointed blame at the media, tweeting: “The Fake News Media wants so badly to see a major confrontation with Russia, even a confrontation that could lead to war.
