Global liquidity infusion may fuel commodity prices: India

TOKYO, OCT 11- 2012:  
India today said huge liquidity infusion by the US and Europe into the financial system could result in increased investments into developing countries though there are concerns these might also fuel commodity prices.
“There are pluses and minuses. The immediate concern is that if so much liquidity is injected into the system, it might lead to elevated prices, especially in commodities.
It might lead to increased speculation in commodities, crude oil, wheat, cotton, metals,” Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said.
The Minister said this when asked about the impact of liquidity infusion by developed countries at a press conference on the sidelines of IMF-World Bank meetings.
On the positive side, Chidambaram said the money being injected by the US, Euro Zone countries and Japan, would also benefit developing countries which require investments.
“The other side of it is that if so much liquidity is injected...some of that liquidity will find its way to the developing countries as money in either FDI or FII and that is the money we require for our own investment needs.
“One has to make a call after few months...I think there are pluses and minuses, but I hope that the pluses will outweigh the minuses,” he said.
Referring to steps taken by developing countries to easy money supply, he said it was too early to say whether the monetary policy was “right or wrong“.
He further said infusion of huge liquidity may lead to increase in commodity prices in dollar terms, but may not have the same impact in terms of local currencies.
“(Its) possible that prices may be elevated in the dollar terms but it may not be elevated in the terms of local currency. It’s too early to say anything definitely. But it has not led to appreciation of all currencies,” the Finance Minister added.

How to use home loans most effectively for tax benefits

1) Deduction on interest: If you are paying EMIs for a home loan you took to buy a house, the interest component in the EMI can be claimed as deduction. You must be both an owner and a co-borrower (in the loan) to claim tax benefits. This deduction can be claimed starting the year in which the construction of the house is completed. Suppose the construction of your house was completed on August 30, 2014, you can claim deduction for interest for the entire 12 months in financial year 2014-15. So every year a maximum of Rs. 2 lakh can be claimed for a house that you use for your own residence. If your house is rented, the entire interest for the year can be claimed as deduction. The interest payments for the year shall result in a loss under the head 'income from house property'. This loss can be adjusted against in the same year against other heads of income in your income tax return including salary. Therefore, it reduces your total taxable income and the tax you pay thereon. A...

Intellectual battle against ISIS as important as Military: Sheikh Makhtoum of Dubai

The global financial crisis taught the world how profoundly interdependent our economies have become. In today's crisis of extremism, we must recognize that we are just as interdependent for our security, as is clear in the current struggle to defeat ISIS. Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, VP and prime minister of the UAE, ruler of Dubai If we are to prevent ISIS from teaching us this lesson the hard way, we must acknowledge that we cannot extinguish the fires of fanaticism by force alone. The world must unite behind a holistic drive to discredit the ideology that gives extremists their power, and to restore hope and dignity to those whom they would recruit. ISIS certainly can – and will – be defeated militarily by the international coalition that is now assembling and which the UAE is actively supporting. But military containment is only a partial solution. Lasting peace requires three other ingredients: winning the battle of ideas; upgrading weak governance; and ...
