As the stock exchange has suffered huge blows in fund values, various steps to cut down on monetary levels are being processed and worked upon. Cost cutting, restructuring of the employees, financial deductions and what not, almost all measures have been well decided upon by the global industry majors.

As India money market and Finance news have pointed out, the sheer need of the moment is to create a functional and equitable financial structure. Finance experts have invented the techniques of dealing with the financial crisis and have suggested reviewing the lending rates and cost cutting at the same time. Private sector and foreign banks operating in India have pontificated to the same.

As the lending rates will undergo revision, the Finance news India have suggested that housing, personal and corporate loans in India are now set to be placed on lower rates and will surely get cheaper as the bankers are pressurized under the ‘do or die’ situation of financial disgrace. Other steps towards cost cutting that have lately come up are downsizing the employee section of well reputed companies and restructuring of the economies simultaneously in tandem. This does lead to unemployment and hampers the growth of the nation as well but not as effectively as the international economic crisis does.

As pontificated by a report on the Finance News India, the country is likely to come across zero or minimum inflation the nearing future, i.e. in 2009. And this is not just a prediction but a wise and well reasoned point owing to the economic breakdown and depleting commodity prices. This inflation will see reduced price ranges in the coming days, especially the base metal prices, various chemicals, fertilizers, etc. in the similar manner and in accordance with the inflation; deflation along with recession will form a vital deciding part of numerous industrial economies, as reported by Finance News India.

Sanjaya Baru: Rupee reborn
The Indian rupee’s new symbol, an elegant, simple and brilliant combination of Sanskrit Ra and the English R without the stem, deserved a more dignified debut. A minister holding up an A4-size sheet of paper for cameras sitting at her desk? No fancy unveiling, no fireworks or music, no celebrations at all? How unfortunate. How inelegant. How crass.
