10 nations with high inflation
1) Zimbabwe – Over 1 million per centWeary Zimbabweans are facing a new wave of price increases that will put many basic goods even further out of their reach: A loaf of bread now costs what 12 new cars did a decade ago.According to an AP report, independent finance houses said in an assessment recently that annual inflation rose in May 2008 to 1,063,572 per cent based on prices of a basket of basic foodstuffs. Economic analysts say unless the rate of inflation is slowed, annual inflation will likely reach about 5 million per cent by October.A small pack of locally-produced coffee beans now cost just short of 1 billion Zimbabwe dollars. A decade ago, that sum would have bought 60 new cars.
2) Burma – 40%Burma comes in second behind Zimbabwe with its inflation rate hovering around 40 per cent. It has been termed a ‘least developed country’ and continues to struggle as one of the poorest countries in Asia.According to 2007 estimates, 32.7 per cent of the Burmese people live in poverty. Per capita GDP in Burma is $1,900 compared with $8,000 in neighboring Thailand, $26,400 in South Korea, and $33,800 in Japan.
3) Iran – 25.3%Iran’s annual inflation rate rose to 25.3 per cent in May compared with the previous month, when it reached 24.2 per cent, the central bank said. The statistics highlight the economic problems facing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s government, under pressure from many lawmakers, media and the public over its failure to rein in the strength of inflation in the world’s fourth-largest oil producer. The central bank said that prices rose by 1.7 per cent in the Iranian month to May 20, pushing up the year-on-year rate to more than 25 per cent, according to a Reuters report.Monthly prices increased 3.1 per cent the previous month, to April 19, when the year-on-year rate was 24.2 per cent. The year-on-year rate was 22.5 per cent in March, showing a steadily climbing trend. Iran’s inflation rate was about 12 per cent in mid-2005, when the conservative president came to power pledging to share Iran’s oil wealth more fairly.
4) Vietnam – 25.2%Vietnam’s ruling Communist Party is facing one of its biggest challenges with yearly inflation in double-digits for seven consecutive months, hitting 25.2 per cent in May.Despite authorities’ efforts to control inflation, including interest rate hikes, consumer prices were 4 percentage points higher than last month, according to the Government Statistics Office, news agency AP reported.Vietnam’s inflation rate is among the highest in Asia, and higher food prices in particular are hurting the country’s poor. Soaring imports have tripled the trade deficit this year to $14.4 billion, while the Vietnamese stock market has lost 60 per cent, making it the world’s worst-performing market.
5) Egypt – 21%The Egyptian government has reported that inflation rates in the country rose to over 21 per cent in May, as a direct result of rising prices that have worsened the North African nation’s food crisis.The official news agency, MENA, quoted an Egyptian government official as saying that inflation in rural areas had "increased even higher to 22.9 per cent" for the month, raising concerns over widespread discontent.“The May figures are in stark contrast to the already high inflation rate reported in March of around 14 percent. This does not bode well for approximately 20 percent of the nations almost 80 million people, who live below the poverty line of US$2 per day,” the official was quoted as saying.

Selling gas to RNRL will lead to loss of $900 mn: RIL
Selling gas to RNRL will lead to loss of $900 mn: RIL
Reliance Industries on Thursday informed the Bombay High Court that it would incur losses in the range of $600-900 million annually if it supplies gas to Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Natural Resources Ltd at 2.34 dollars per mmBtu. Mukesh Ambani-owned RIL told the court that it could not promise a fixed quantity of gas to RNRL at 2.34 dollars, which is much lower than the price fixed by the government at 4 dollars per mmBtu. If RIL entered into a contract to supply the fixed quantity of gas at 2.34 dollars, it would incur annual losses ranging from $600 to 900 million, RIL told the high court. Division bench of Justices J N Patel and K Tated is hearing the dispute over gas supply from the Krishna-Godavari basin between RIL and RNRL.
RIL's counsel Harish Salve argued that RNRL's power plant was not going to commence before 2010 and till then, RIL could not be restrained from extracting gas. As such, RIL could not wait for RNRL's power plant to come up and so they had to enter into gas sale purchase agreements (GSPA) with third parties. Once RNRL notified it that their plant was working, they could enter into GSPA between them.
"The country needs the gas and if we keep waiting for RNRL, the government which owns the natural resource, will take us out of contract by 2025 anyway when the lease ends," said Salve. RNRL has already given up its right on the gas for trading earlier, which they are trying to revive, he contended and added that the Gas Supply Master Agreement between RIL and RNRL specifically includes supply of gas on a suitable agreement for RNRL's power plants. Regarding supply of gas for the RNRL power plant when it comes up, the quantity can be decided in accordance with a formula considering the total resource of gas available, the tenure for which the extraction will be carried out less the share that has to be given to the government on an annual basis, Salve contended.
RNRL is entitled to 28 mmscmd of gas when the production reaches 40 mmscmd. If RNRL want to procure more in case when the production increases, it will have to purchase it at market price, he said. The GSPA has to be revised in accordance with the annual production of gas, he further said.
Also, just because RIL and RNRL are in dispute, the production sharing contract (PSC) with the government cannot be compromised, added Salve. "We are ready to give the gas at the fixed price provided the government approves such price," he said. RNRL has been citing the memorandum of understanding between the two companies regarding the fixed quantity of gas at the said price but the MOU cannot supercede the PSC with the government, he contended. Also, the government has specifically said that the prices of gas to any third party other than itself has to be at arms-length prices, Salve argued.
RIL has invested $8 billion in the project, he told the court. Salve will continue to argue on the MOU, the documents in connection with the MOU and what is the scope of the company's jurisdiction regarding gas supply in the next hearing on August 5.

Sensex sinks 558 points, RBI hikes Repo rate by 50 bps, CRR by 25 bps
RBI hikes interest rates / RBI hikes repo rate by 50 bps, CRR by 25 bps
Sensex sinks 558 points as RBI hikes rates
Challenged by unrelenting inflationary pressures, the Reserve Bank of India on Tuesday announced stringent measures of hiking mandatory cash reserve of the banks and its short-term lending rate to them to suck up an estimated Rs 8,000 crore (Rs 80 billion).
Presenting the first quarter review of the annual statement on Credit and Monetary Policy for the year 2008-09 on Monday, RBI Governor Y V Reddy hiked cash reserve ratio by 0.25 per cent to 8.75 per cent and the short-term lending (repo) rate by 0.50 pre cent to 9.00 per cent.
According to analysts the move could make loans dearer for housing, car and personal expenses as also to the industry.
Highlights
Bank Rate kept unchanged.
Reverse Repo Rate under LAF kept unchanged.
Repo Rate increased by 50 basis points from 8.5 per cent to 9.00 per cent.
Cash Reserve Ratio to be increased by 25 basis points to 9.0 per cent with effect from the fortnight beginning August 30, 2008.
GDP growth projection for 2008-09 revised from the range of 8.0-8.5 per cent to around 8.0 per cent, barring domestic or external shocks.
While the policy actions would aim to bring down the current intolerable level of inflation to a tolerable level of below 5.0 per cent as soon as possible and around 3.0 per cent over the medium-term, at this juncture a realistic policy endeavour would be to bring down inflation from the current level of about 11.0-12.0 per cent to a level close to 7.0 per cent by March 31, 2009.
While there are early signs of some moderation in money supply and deposit growth, they continue to expand above the indicative projections warranting continuous vigilance and appropriate and timely policy responses.
In view of the evolving environment of heightened uncertainty in global markets and the dangers of potential spillovers to domestic markets, liquidity management will continue to receive priority in the hierarchy of policy objectives over the period ahead.
Barring the emergence of any adverse and unexpected developments in various sectors of the economy, assuming that capital flows are effectively managed, and keeping in view the current assessment of the economy including the outlook for growth and inflation, the overall stance of monetary policy in 2008-09 will broadly continue to be:
To ensure a monetary and interest rate environment that accords high priority to price stability, well-anchored inflation expectations and orderly conditions in financial markets while being conducive to continuation of the growth momentum.
To respond swiftly on a continuing basis to the evolving constellation of adverse international developments and to the domestic situation impinging on inflation expectations, financial stability and growth momentum, with both conventional and unconventional measures, as appropriate.
To emphasise credit quality as well as credit delivery, in particular, for employment-intensive sectors, while pursuing financial inclusion.
Domestic Developments
Real GDP growth in 2007-08 was revised upwards to 9.0 per cent by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) in its end-May 2008 estimates from the advance estimates of 8.7 per cent released in February 2008.
Inflation, measured by variations in the wholesale price index (WPI) on a year-on-year basis, increased to 11.89 per cent as on July 12, 2008 from 7.75 per cent as at end-March 2008 and 4.76 per cent a year ago.

Public sector oil marketing companies have been provided US $ 4.3 billion (Rs.19,325 crore) against oil bonds purchased under the Special Market Operation (SMO) scheme up to July 25, 2008.
The total overhang of liquidity as reflected in the balances under the LAF, the MSS and the Central Government?s cash balances taken together declined from an average of Rs.2,42,370 crore in April 2008 to Rs.2,12,201 crore in May 2008 and Rs.1,93,726 crore in June 2008 (with an intra-year peak of Rs.2,93,048 crore on April 8, 2008) before declining to Rs.1,45,200 crore on July 25, 2008.
Financial markets reflected the changes in liquidity conditions during the first quarter of 2008-09.
Yields in the Government securities market hardened substantially during the current financial year in both primary and secondary segments.
Deposit rates of SCBs increased, particularly at the longer end of the maturity spectrum, during the first four months of 2008-09 (up to July 25).
The equity markets witnessed a major downturn in both the primary and secondary segments during the current financial year so far, continuing the moderation that had set in by early January 2008.

Gross market borrowings of the Central Government through dated securities at Rs.72,000 crore (Rs.73,000 crore a year ago) during 2008-09 so far (up to July 25, 2008), constituted 41.0 per cent of the budget estimates (BE) whereas net market borrowings at Rs.47,982 crore (Rs.45,232 crore a year ago) constituted 48.5 per cent of the BE.

Bank, realty, auto and capital goods stocks went into a tailspin this afternoon as the Apex bank hiked CRR and Repo rates by 25 and 50 basis points respectively to 9 per cent to control inflation.
The hike in rates and concerns voiced by the central bank of the country about high inflation kept the market deep down in the red right till the end of the session today. There were some good results from India Inc, but then, with global markets also not displaying any strength, participants were in no mood to turn buyers today.
The Sensex, mirroring the sharp fall in prices of front line stocks, ended the day with a massive loss of 557.57 points or 3.89% at 13,791.54. In intra-day trades today, the barometer touched a high of 14,153.12 and a low of 13,727.14.

Reflecting the sharp fall of bank stocks, the Bankex nosedived 8.31% today. The Realty barometer went down by over 5.5%. The Capital Goods index lost 4.92%. The Power and Auto indices eased by over 4%. BSE Oil & Gas (down 3.62%), PSU (down 3.12%), Metal (down 1.91%), HC (down 1.65%), Teck (down 1.59%) and CD (down 1.07%) also closed sharply lower.

Ranbaxy is India's biggest pharma firm29
Ranbaxy is India's biggest pharma firm
29 Jul, 2008, 0645 hrs IST, RUPALI MUKHERJEE,TNN
Ranbaxy has emerged as the leader in the domestic pharmaceutical retail market, with a share of 5.2% for the April to June quarter. It also maintained the top slot in each of the past three months, with a share of 5% in June, higher than the last year's market leader Cipla's share of 4.9% during the same month.
During the April to June quarter, Cipla occupied the second slot with a share of 5.1%, growing by 9%. While Ranbaxy registered the highest growth of over 18% during the quarter, while in June alone, it had a growth of over 15%. Overall the pharma market valued at nearly Rs 33,000 crore, slowed down in terms of growth at 6.2% in June, as against 7.5% growth in the previous month, according to ORG-IMS. The highly-competitive market witnessed a growth of nearly 9% during the quarter ended June.
One of the major growth drivers during the second quarter was the sale of anti-infective drugs, which registered a huge spurt due to the "freak' ' weather conditionsa short winter and an early onset of rains in the north. The primary growth drivers for anti-infectives were semi-synthetic penicillins (such as ampicillin, amoxycillin), quinolones and high-end injectables. "A shorter winter season coupled with an increase in the incidence of viral infections where anti-infectives are given led to the boost in the growth of these segments, and for Ranbaxy,'' a company official said. Companies, which have a strong portfolio of anti-infectives got a leg-up in sales during the period, industry experts say.
The third slot in June was occupied by GlaxoSmithKline with a share of 4.59% of the market, followed by Piramal Healthcare (Nicholas Piramal) at 3.78% and Zydus Cadila at the fifth position with 3.59% share. While GSK grew by a meagre 2.5%, drug major Piramal Healthcare by a huge 14%, presumably on the back of its strongest brands, Phensedyl Cough syrup during the month. However, Zydus Cadila had a de-growth of 0.6% during the month. During the quarter, GSK slumped slightly by 0.6%, while Piramal Healthcare grew by 4% and Zydus by a meagre 0.4%, according to figures by ORG-IMS.
