“India has left behind the British economy. India has had excellent economic policies and reforms. India and the United Kingdom have the opportunity to learn a lot from each other in areas such as technology and agriculture. India has made tremendous progress in the last 10 years and its leadership role is very important.” It is proof of how India is dominating the world in its own ways, and today, even former British Prime Minister Liz Truss has to accept with this statement that while Western countries are in serious crisis, India has left behind the British economy with excellent economic policies and reforms. For this, she gives full credit to the current Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and his cabinet. And says that the historic third term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is definitely a big achievement, especially in such a global environment where the current governments are finding it difficult to remain in power. This symbolises the economic reforms taking place in India and shows that people believe the country is moving in the right direction. Along with this, she considers India’s support meaningful and necessary for her country in many ways, so today Elizabeth Truss is saying that this is an equal partnership. The opportunities in the fields of technology, defence and agriculture are huge for both sides. This needs to be understood today. She has expressed hope that both countries will agree on a free trade agreement. At the same time, India’s role in the Quad alliance established by the US, Britain, Japan and India to counter the growing influence of China is very important and commendable. Certainly, “India is now the country with the largest population in the world and is an old democracy. India will play a big leadership role in the future. This is very exciting. India is part of the Quad, which is especially important in view of the growing threat from China.” She sees India as a country playing a big role on the global stage today. If we look at it, what former British Prime Minister Liz Truss is saying seems to be completely true, even if the opposition of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in India does not accept this in the struggle for power and the desire to get it and tries to corner the Modi Government by raising many questions on the economic front, but today it is certain and it is coming to the fore again and again that the whole world is accepting the economic strength of India. Whereas this is the same India of 10 years ago, on the economic front, all the global leaders of the world used to sweat while praising it, but now everyone is unanimously accepting that the leap that India has made in the economic sector in the last decade is the fastest compared to any country in the world. In fact, these are today’s latest figures of India which will fill every Indian with pride. With GDP growth currently at 7 per cent and over 151,000 startups, India is reshaping its economy. China’s rapid rise over the past decades has made it a major player on the world stage, while India’s recent growth has attracted global attention, establishing it as a formidable competitor. Today, not just former Prime Minister Liz Truss, but John Chambers, chairman of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum, is saying that “by the end of this century, India will not only overtake China, but will be 100 percent larger in terms of GDP.” Their optimism was rooted not in lofty predictions but in the solid progress India has made over the past decade, driven by transformational policies and reforms that have reshaped its economic landscape. This set the tone for discussions on the country’s extraordinary rise and its future prospects on the global stage. “For the first five years, I would argue, this administration did an amazing job of setting the stage for the decade,” says John Chambers. According to the World Bank’s India Development Update, the country’s GDP is projected to grow at a robust rate of 7 per cent in FY2024-25, underlining its status as the fastest-growing major economy in the world. This growth momentum is set to remain consistent, with GDP growing from 7.0 per cent in FY2022-23 to 8.2 per cent in FY2023-24. These numbers not only reflect the resilience of India’s economy but are also the fruits of a well-planned strategy. It is a fact that “over the past five years, while Indian markets have consistently delivered a compound annual growth rate of around 15 per cent, FY23-24 was an exceptional year, with benchmark indices rising 28 per cent while volatility remained low at just 10 per cent. Apart from market performance, the roots of India’s growth can be traced to strategic initiatives such as Digital India. It must be said that this initiative, launched in 2015, was aimed at transforming India into a digitally empowered society and its results have been remarkable. One of the most important results of Digital India is the transformation brought about by the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which has reshaped the way Indians transact. UPI’s growth from 92 crore transactions in FY 2015 to 13,116 crore transactions in FY 2017-18 is expected to be the biggest growth of digital payments in India. The launch of UPI reflects the widespread adoption of toll-free payments. This success has redefined convenience and established India as a global leader in digital finance. Beyond UPI, the CoWIN platform emerged as a critical tool during the COVID-19 pandemic, serving as the digital backbone for India’s vaccination drive. It enabled the administration of over 220 crore doses without a single day of interruption, reflecting the country’s ability to leverage technology for public health. CoWIN not only represents India’s effective response to the global crisis, but also demonstrates how digital infrastructure can support large-scale health initiatives. Together, these achievements demonstrate that Digital India has laid the foundation for a digitally inclusive economy poised for long-term growth. The impact of this digital revolution goes beyond payments and identity verification. Over 35.6 crore Ayushman cards have been issued under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, providing millions of people access to healthcare. In addition, over nine crore FASTags have been issued, which is almost equal to the number of vehicles to be manufactured worldwide in 2023, facilitating smooth travel on the country’s highways. Such achievements highlight the comprehensive nature of India’s digital transformation, which touches every aspect of life and promotes sustainable economic growth. Based on India’s positive economic outlook, SEBI Whole Time Member Anant Narayan ji is absolutely right when he says that the rapid growth of startups in India has established itself as a key factor in the country’s economic growth. According to him, “Only 10 to 12 years ago, there were very few startups in India. In fact, in the last time period, from 2015 to 2022, investments in startups increased 15 times.” This surge in investment has fueled a dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem. India is now home to the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world, with over 151,000 recognised startups. The Startup India initiative launched in 2016 has played a key role in fuelling this growth, creating over 15.5 lakh direct jobs. This is a testament to how innovation, supported by the right policies, can drive economic growth while solving pressing challenges. At the same time, India’s increasingly strong performance in the economic sector across the world shows that the Modi government has done a lot of profound work during its tenure. Every sector is being given holistic attention. Now, take the field of AI; as soon as it started being discussed in the world, India immediately recognised it as an opportunity for itself and started working on it. With the Modi Government launching initiatives like “AI for India 2.0” in 2023 and hosting the Global IndiaAI Summit in 2024, it is clear that India is establishing itself as a leader in AI on the global stage. India’s focus on AI is not just about technological advancement, but about creating a skilled workforce for the jobs of tomorrow, ensuring sustained economic growth. However, India’s economic story is not just about growth at the top. For example, one can look at digital inclusion driven by schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), which has brought millions of previously unbanked individuals into the formal financial system. Since its launch a decade ago, PMJDY has opened over 53 crore bank accounts, helping people access financial services and participate in the economy. Such grassroots development is critical to ensure that India’s growth is inclusive, bringing the benefits of prosperity to every corner of the country. One of the pillars of India’s economic growth is providing housing to its citizens. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U), over 1.18 crore houses have been sanctioned, of which over 87.25 lakh have been constructed and delivered. This ambitious housing initiative is transforming lives by providing safe, all-weather homes to millions of families, including middle-class people seeking affordable housing solutions. The concrete results of this scheme are another indication of how India is laying the foundation for long-term growth while ensuring that no one is left behind, promoting sustainability, and improving the quality of life for many. Given all this, the claim that India will overtake China as an economic power by the end of the century may seem ambitious to some, but the country’s progress over the last decade lends weight to their words. With the adoption of digital technology, the rise of startups, strong stock market performance, a strong focus on AI and a commitment to inclusive growth, India is on a path that could redefine global economic dynamics in the years to come. Now let us hope that what former British Prime Minister Liz Truss is saying today is not just the truth of the present, the results of the effective work of the Modi government of India will be seen for a long time in the future. India will once again regain the glorious horizons of its past in the economic sector. The reality of the moment is that the government’s focus on boosting manufacturing and improving youth employability, combined with India’s young and ambitious population, presents a unique opportunity for economic growth. As the country moves towards becoming a USD 5 trillion economy by FY27-28, the expansion of manufacturing and emerging industries and the transition to clean energy options are likely to create high-quality, formal and green jobs. This will help many Indian states that aspire to grow rapidly, as they are already investing in these sectors to take advantage of India’s demographic dividend. Subsequently, the improvement in the labour market is likely to be reflected in future surveys.
Trump threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if they don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders with the United States. He said on social media last week that he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders. Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, attended a dinner with Trump and Trudeau at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club on Friday. Trudeau requested the meeting in a bid to avoid the tariffs by convincing Trump that the northern border is nothing like the U.S. southern border with Mexico . "The prime minister of course spoke about the importance of protecting the Canadian economy and Canadian workers from tariffs, but we also discussed with our American friends the negative impact that those tariffs could have on their economy, on affordability in the United States as well," LeBlanc said in Parliament. If Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation. Economists say companies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, automobiles, alcohol and other goods. The Produce Distributors Association, a Washington trade group, said last week that tariffs will raise prices for fresh fruit and vegetables and hurt U.S. farmers when the countries retaliate. Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the U.S. should Trump follow through on the threat. After his dinner with Trump, Trudeau returned home without assurances the president-elect will back away from threatened tariffs on all products from the major American trading partner. Trump called the talks “productive” but signaled no retreat from a pledge that Canada says unfairly lumps it in with Mexico over the flow of drugs and migrants into the United States. “The idea that we came back empty handed is completely false,” LeBlanc said. “We had a very productive discussion with Mr. Trump and his future Cabinet secretaries. ... The commitment from Mr. Trump to continue to work with us was far from empty handed.” Joining Trump and Trudeau at dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Trump’s pick to lead the Interior Department, and Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice to be his national security adviser. Canada’s ambassador to the U.S., Kirsten Hillman, told The Associated Press on Sunday that “the message that our border is so vastly different than the Mexican border was really understood.” Hillman, who sat at an adjacent table to Trudeau and Trump, said Canada is not the problem when it comes to drugs and migrants. On Monday, Mexico’s president rejected those comments. “Mexico must be respected, especially by its trading partners,” President Claudia Sheinbaum said. She said Canada had its own problems with fentanyl consumption and “could only wish they had the cultural riches Mexico has.” Flows of migrants and seizures of drugs at the two countries’ border are vastly different. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border during the last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border. Most of the fentanyl reaching the U.S. — where it causes about 70,000 overdose deaths annually — is made by Mexican drug cartels using precursor chemicals smuggled from Asia. On immigration, the U.S. Border Patrol reported 1.53 million encounters with migrants at the southwest border with Mexico between October 2023 and September 2024. That compares to 23,721 encounters at the Canadian border during that time. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports as well. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing for national security.

He added that they see a huge opportunity to push green investment forward following the signing of the UK-GCC Free Trade Agreement, one example of which is the issuance of green Sukuks on the London Stock Exchange, which he will be discussing with a number of Qatari institutions during his visit to Doha in May 2025.

St. Louis public company regains compliance with NYSE share price rule
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California quarterback Miller Moss is entering the transfer portal after losing the Trojans’ starting job last month. Moss made his announcement on social media Monday. Moss started ’ bowl victory last season and their first nine games this season before coach Lincoln Riley replaced him with Jayden Maiava in early November. “Being a USC Trojan was a lifelong dream of mine,” Moss wrote. “Putting on the cardinal and gold and competing on behalf of my teammates and school is something I will forever take pride in. I poured everything I have into this — body, heart, mind and soul — and am humbled by and proud of what my teammates and I accomplished.” Moss, who was born in Los Angeles and went to high school in the San Fernando Valley, signed with USC before Riley arrived at the school. Moss also stayed with the Trojans after Caleb Williams transferred from Oklahoma to rejoin Riley, and he served as Williams’ backup for two seasons before getting his chance to play with six touchdown passes in last year’s Holiday Bowl. Moss completed 64.4% of his passes this season for 2,555 yards with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions. After a spectacular 378-yard performance to beat LSU in the Trojans’ season opener, Moss didn’t play poorly as a starter, but he also wasn’t a difference-maker while USC stumbled to a 4-5 record. Moss threw seven interceptions in his final five starts before losing the job to Maiava. The Trojans went 1-4 in that stretch under Moss, who plays as a more traditional pocket passer while Maiava has the mobility usually favored for quarterbacks in Riley’s spread offense. “Looking towards the future, I’m unwaveringly committed to becoming an even better quarterback and leader, and to achieving this at the next level,” Moss wrote. Moss has already graduated from USC, putting him in the portal as a graduate student. USC (6-6) is headed to a lower-tier bowl game again to finish this season, its third under Riley. ___ AP college football: andBlues have struggled to string together positive results so far this season. But Morton says having a more settled team and strength in depth will enable Kevin Maher’s side to be at their best more often. “It helps having a settled team and having competition for places too,” said Morton. “We need 20 players, not just 11 and there will be rotation, injuries and setbacks so every player is important in getting a consistent team gelling. “We’ve had some clean sheets under our belts against top teams too now and naturally it builds confidence. “That confidence will continue and hopefully we can get a good unbeaten run going to climb the league table.” The Shrimpers triumphed 2-0 at Halifax Town on Saturday to make it three matches unbeaten. And Morton labelled it a significant success for Blues, who are now 14th in the table. “It was really important to get three points at the end of what I thought as a positive week,” said Morton. “Getting two draws and a win in the week is good, especially having Forest Green, Woking where we went down to 10 men and Halifax away. “It’s a tough week and to get the win was massive. “We’re really big on clean sheets so that was pleasing too. “Collectively we felt it was a good performance and it’s one we’ll take confidence from too which is important.” Morton also played a key part in securing Saturday’s win as he set up both of Southend’s goals. And the 25-year-old wants that to be a sign of things to come. “It's always good to be involved in goals and it’s something I want to add to my game,” said Morton. “Maybe it will be assists more than goals playing deeper but I want to help the team any way I can. "I’ve not always based my game on stats mainly because of the position I play and the responsibilities I have elsewhere but you’ve got to do a bit of everything. “I feel I can add a few more stats but as long as my performance is positive overall then those stats will come.” Morton’s next chance to impress comes at Brentwood Town in the FA Trophy this weekend. And the midfielder stressed the Shrimpers would be taking the third round tie seriously. “We want to win every game,” said Morton. “We’ve had a bit of inconsistency this season but cup games can help with your league performances. “We look at this as just as important as a league match where hopefully we can get a good performance and win. “We’ll be taking it seriously and we’ve prepared properly this week. “I see it as a great opportunity to make it four unbeaten so we feel more positive and confident going into the Hartlepool game next week.” Morton again looks likely to feature in the centre of the park having started nine of the last 10 games. And he is enjoying his regular role in the team. “To be playing as regularly as I have been and getting the minutes I have means you’re naturally going to progress,” said Morton. “You’ll be fitter and sharper and getting that base means you’ll be able to express yourself a lot more. “The way we want to play suits me and you build relationships with the players on the pitch when you play. “Like I said previously, the team has been quite consistent in terms of who has been playing which helps with the team performance. “You’re gelling and everyone will be doing better the more you play. "For me I feel like I’ve been doing OK but I know there’s more to come and I’m really focused on being even better.

LONDON (AP) — West Ham players showed their support for seriously injured teammate Michail Antonio before and during their Premier League home win against Wolverhampton on Monday, two days after his car crash. The players warmed up in “Antonio 9” jerseys and walked on to the field in tops adorning his name. The club will put the walk-out tops up for auction along with every match jersey worn against Wolves, with the proceeds going to medical charities and matched by the club’s board. West Ham fans stood in London Stadium and applauded for Antonio in the ninth, and when captain Jarrod Bowen scored the 2-1 winner in the second half, he approached supporters behind the goal carrying an Antonio jersey. “To share that moment, he's not here with us but I'm sure (Antonio) was watching and the fans, you heard them,” Bowen told broadcaster Sky Sports. “An emotional couple of days.” Before the game, Bowen said, “Everyone loves Mic, he is a big character. “He is not just a teammate, he is a friend and has been for many years. A dad as well to beautiful children. It is one of those things where life is bigger than football. The main thing is Mic is safe and well and here to tell the story. Saturday was a really difficult time. He is a warrior and a fighter, he always has been, and I know he will be back stronger for this." Story continues below video Antonio, a 34-year-old Jamaica international, was recovering in hospital after undergoing surgery on what West Ham described as a “lower limb fracture.” He was involved in a one-car incident outside London on Saturday, after which he was hospitalized and kept under close supervision. He wished the team well by video before the match. Antonio has made more than 300 appearances for West Ham since joining the club from Nottingham Forest in 2015, and played in all 14 games this season before the incident.
