Tata-Corus among world's ten best deals of 2007: ET Story
Tata-Corus among world's ten best deals of 2007
Indian conglomerate Tatas' 11.3 billion dollar acquisition of Corus Group Plc that propelled it as the world's sixth-largest steelmaker has been ranked among the ten best business deals of 2007 by Time magazine. The international magazine's list has been topped by the five billion dollar buyout of media giant Dow Jones by Rupert Murdoch-led conglomerate News Corporation.
Talking about Tata-Corus deal, the magazine said, "Although India's tech prowess in the outsourced world grabs the headlines, there is no more powerful symbol of India Inc's rise than this one. "Ah, the delicious irony, as the Tata family conglomerate, India's steel giant, buys the Anglo-Dutch firm that includes the remnants of British Steel at one time, a symbol of Britain's imperial might," it noted. While reminding about the days British rule, the magazine said, "Guess the dreadnought age is over; but not the steel age, at least not in the developing world."
Tata Steel had acquired Corus for 11.3 billion dollars, the biggest overseas acquisition by an Indian company. The acquisition has been ranked sixth best in the world ahead of four other deals like takeover of Hilton Hotels by private equity firm Blackstone Group for 26 billion dollars. Interestingly, the buyout of 4.9 per cent stake in world's largest bank Citigroup, currently headed by India-born Vikram Pandit, by Abu Dhabi Investment Authority for 7.5 billion dollars has found a place among the ten worst deals of the year. However, Citigroup was not being headed by Pandit when the deal was executed.

ET :Govt employees shifting savings to capital mkt - Study
Govt employees shifting savings to capital mkt: Study
Government employees, who earlier hesitated to park their savings in the capital market, are increasingly buying shares and mutual fund schemes in the expectation of higher returns, industry body Assocham said.
"Fifty eight per cent of government employees are choosing stocks and mutual funds as their preferred investment instruments," Assocham said in a survey on changing investment patterns of government employees. Out of a total 510 employees surveyed from middle and upper-middle ranks in the government and the PSUs, about 300 prefer investing in shares. This is followed by private and state-owned mutual funds, Assocham said in press release.
Huge investments in stocks and infrastructure has lured government employees to tilt toward capital market against traditional channels of investments in post offices, banks and other fixed deposit schemes, the survey said. Easy availability of advisory services by experts, which mitigates the risk of losses, is a major factor for investment in the stock market by employees.
"Despite stock market's volatile nature, element of risk taking is now getting into the psyche of government employees as a result of which domestic capital market is attracting protected lot of government employees also," Assocham President Venugopal Dhoot was quoted as saying in the release.
It said over 42 per cent respondents were keen to invest in shares of infrastructure, real estate, IT and automobile companies as the sectors were giving huge returns.
However, the survey said, 32 per cent of government employees, especially from the central government, are still choosing traditional routes of investments in post offices and banks schemes as they want safe returns.
