Moody’s upgrades India’s rating,
changes outlook to stable from positive

In a remarkable feat, Moody’s Investors Services upgraded

the ratings of Sovereign Credit to Baa2 from Baa3 for the
first time since 2004. This increase in ratings can be
accredited to the structural and institutional reforms by
the Modi Government including GST, Demonetisation,
Aadhaar, DBT etc. These reforms will translate into an
improved business climate, formalize the economy, and
increase lending among other benefits such as reduction
in corruption and debt. Moody’s outlook for sovereign
rating also changed from ‘positive’ to ‘stable’.

Indians happy with state of economy,

working of Democracy and Government under Narendra Modi
Citizen empowerment has always been the focal point of the Narendra Modi Government. From bold
and decisive moves like Demonetization and GST to diplomatic victories and increased international
cooperation, India has seen a remarkable growth in the last three years. Echoing the sentiments of the
Indian citizen, the study by American think tank Pew Research Centre shows that the majority are happy
with the current state of the economy and the direction of the country.
Nearly nine-in-ten Indians hold a favorable opinion of PM Modi who is very popular among men and
women and among adults in both rural and urban area, especially youngsters. Furthermore, the share
of adults who feel that the economy is "very good" has tripled in the past three years.

Moment of glory: India wins International Court of Justice seat

India’s strong standing in the global arena has
received yet another boost in the form of a diplomatic
victory in the re-election of Dalveer Bhandari to
the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The U.K.
chose to withdraw their nomination after it was
evident that it would not win the contest in the
General Assembly (GA).
This is the first time that one of the five permanent
members of the UNSC lost out to an ordinary
member participating in a race–a proud moment
for the country. The winning candidate required a
majority in both the GA and the UNSC, but 11
rounds of voting until last week ended, with India
winning in the GA and the U.K. winning in the UNSC.
As U.K. announced its exit from the race in the 12th
round, Justice Bhandari won 183 of the 193 votes in
the GA and also secured all 15 votes in the UNSC.
This took place after separate elections were held
at the U.N. headquarters in New York.

Logistic sector gets infrastructure status
In an effort to boost the logistics sector in the
country, the Government has granted infrastructure
status to the logistics sector. As per the notification
issued, the infrastructure sub-sectors category
has been widened to "transport and logistics". The
category includes industrial parks, warehouses,
cold storages and transportation.

The infrastructure status for logistics will stimulate
both domestic and external demand thereby
encouraging manufacturing and job creation.
India’s high logistics costs are a major impediment
to its global competitiveness and therefore the
decision is significant in reducing them.
