Just saw a video being send on WhatsApp where an eighth standard student is asking the current RBI governor as to when the Indian Economy would get strong enough so that our stock markets do not get impact due to Federal rate changes or any other countries economic policy changes. Every one appreciated this question. The response given by the governor was apt. He mentioned that no country in this world should carry out any economic reforms which will impact the other countries. While this is true and needs to be followed, how many times do we see this happening? We have Federal Rates, Greece crisis which heavily impact our Sensex or Nifty. Hence it is very important to understand the economy and its impact on the markets. That is why we precisely include at least one article related to the economy in our journal. In the current edition, we would discuss about BRICS and the new development bank that has been formulated to help the growth of the BRICS economy.
