Speaking at an event at Hindu College here, Kant noted this is the first time that India is getting an opportunity to shape the agenda for the world instead of responding to the agenda set by other countries. Kant was speaking at the event organised at Hindu College of Delhi University to mark its 124 Founder’s Day. India has taken over the G-20 presidency at a crucial time when the world is facing several challenges, including the Russia-Ukraine war, economic slowdown and the climate crisis , G-20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant said on Wednesday, adding it is an opportunity for the country to shape the agenda for an inclusive and sustainable development. Speaking at an event at Hindu College here, Kant noted this is the first time that India is getting an opportunity to shape the agenda for the world instead of responding to the agenda set by other countries. Noting the importance of the G-20 forum, he said, "G-20 countries account for 85 per cent of the global GDP and 78 per cent of global trade…. They account for two-third population of the world." India assumed the yearlong presidency of G-20 on December 1. More than 200 meetings will […]

The bank has today (15 February) published its results for Q4 of 2022 and the full year . A steeper-than-expected fall in profits both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year was confirmed, with full-year net profit standing at £5bn, down 19% year-on-year. This disappointed bankers, who saw the bonus pool cut, and investors, with shares sinking at the time of the announcement. Also disappointed were a number of major sustainable finance advocacy organisations, who had been expecting a full update to Barclays’ climate policy along with the results. Barclays pledged in spring 2020 to achieving net-zero emissions across all business scopes, plus all financed emissions, by 2050. It has always maintained that its approach is consistent with the 1.5C temperature pathway of the Paris Agreement, regarded as necessary to avoid the worst physical impacts of climate change. Green groups have disputed this, with criticism regularly levelled at the bank’s policies on lending to high-emission sectors including fossil fuels. Barclays pledged last year to end financing for thermal coal mining and power by 2030 in OECD nations, and by 2035 elsewhere. It also committed not to take on new clients engaged in thermal coal mining from 2023. Additionally, it pledged to exclude clients […]

Tim Cook is Apple’s ( AAPL ) sixth CEO, taking over from Steve Jobs in 2011. Steve Jobs, the legendary founder and innovative genius, stepped down from the position on August 24, 2011. Sadly, he passed away weeks later, on October 5, 2011. AAPL was the first U.S. company to eclipse a $1 trillion market cap on August 2, 2018. Two years later, on August 19, 2020, the value rose above $2 trillion, and in early 2022, it rose above the $3 trillion level. APPL shares opened in September 1984 at 12.0 cents and peaked at $182.94 on January 4, 2022. Since then, AAPL shares have been in a bearish trend, making a series of lower highs and lower lows. At the $154 per share level on February 15, 2023, AAPL declined 15.8% from the high, which could be an opportunity for America’s leading technology company. AAPL shares moved into a bearish trend After reaching its all-time high of $182.94 during the second trading session in 2022, AAPL shares turned lower. The chart highlights AAPL’s path of lower highs and lower lows throughout 2022. The stock dropped to its most recent low in January 2023 when it reached $124.17, […]

The Saudi government’s Vision 2030 initiative aims to diversify the economy and boost the contribution of the private sector to national GDP Saudi Delegation to WEF is a Business Reporter client When we think of the future and technological advancements, perceptions are often shaped by movies and TV shows. Visions of conversational robots, flying cars and entire populations clad in silver jumpsuits are the classic stereotypes. Four-wheeled AI-powered robots ushering visitors through Riyadh airport and welcoming them to Saudi Arabia in dozens of different languages is perhaps a less often imagined future at this stage. But such technological capabilities are becoming a reality in the kingdom – as visible a symbol of the ongoing technological and digital transformation underway as any in the world today. As part of the Saudi government’s Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to diversify the economy and boost the contribution of the private sector to national GDP, the development of localised Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) solutions will propel the kingdom’s shift towards an innovation-driven, knowledge-based economy. So far, the plan seems to be working. Saudi Arabia’s digital sector is valued at around $40 billion , comprising 318,000 jobs and making it one of the largest […]

Destiny Hernandez, 25, is a resident of Fortify Life’s new emergency housing shelter in Auburn. The former hotel has been renovated to offer 13 rooms, with plans for another 14 to open next year. Angela Mapes Turner Editor’s Note: This story was originally published by the Fort Wayne Media Collaborative on Feb. 13, 2023. Auburn has become a city on the rise. In its west-side commercial district, heavy construction equipment and cranes have been a common sight, as older buildings give way to new ones springing up all over. One project, though, has taken shape more quietly. Tucked behind the ongoing new construction of a chain deli, a relic of the 1960s has been given new life — and gives new hope — to families and individuals facing homelessness. Fortify Life, a fledgling nonprofit, has renovated 13 rooms in a modest former Days Inn motel, creating emergency and transitional housing in a community that has shown great need for it. Jeremiah Otis, Fortify Life’s energetic director of development, said the renaissance of the motel is part of a new approach to addressing poverty in northeast Indiana. The housing facility at 1115 W. 7th St. is one initiative of Fortify […]

porcorex It’s hard to keep up with the market’s mood swings from day to day. When it comes to investing for short-term gains, on some days you may feel like a genius and on others, you may not want to check your brokerage account at all. That’s why a better idea may be to invest in solid income generators that own mission-critical assets. These names pay you to hold onto them and may reward you with long-term capital appreciation without keeping you up at night. This brings me to Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE: CCI ), which may be a great pick for bargain seekers who prize an above average yield and strong growth potential. As shown below, CCI stock currently trades well off its 52-week high of $200 and recently dipped below the $150 mark since the start of this month.
