China's economy set for long-term growth - Le 26 août 2011
A slew of data seems to reinforce evidence that China's economy is slowing gently,prompting some observers to predict a "turning point" in the world's second largest economywhich has enjoyed nearly double-digit growth over the past three decades.
Growth in China's manufacturing activity slowed for the fourth straight month in July, as thepurchasing managers' index (PMI), which previews business conditions in factories, dipped to a29-month low at 50.7, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) said Monday.
Growth in China's gross domestic product (GDP) slowed to 9.5 percent in the three monthsending in June, slightly down from the previous quarter's 9.7 percent, and the 2010 fourthquarter's 9.8 percent, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said last month.
However, analysts said the GDP growth was still strong enough to ease fears of a hard landing,and the slight easing was an intended result of the country's economic restructuring which aimsto shift the economy to a more balanced growth pattern from the current investment-led one.
Bolstered by continued urbanization which boost domestic consumption, China's economicboom will continue, economists told Xinhua, while calling for substantial steps to reduce theeconomy's excessive dependence on investment.
Doing Business in Ukraine - Le 24 août 2011
Ukraine is the largest country in Europe. It is being regarded as a developing economy with high potential for future success, as a middle-income state. It has always been and is still a very attractive destination for international business.
Though Ukrainian economic strategy should be less dependant on ideological schemes and stereotypes. In such a way Ukraine will be free to integrate into the world's economic process and determine itself as a competitive country which is able to face and solve the most difficult tasks on the way of its development.

India - Economic forecast summary - Le 17 août 2011
Following a strong post-crisis rebound driven by a surge in private investment, growth slowed to a more sustainable pace towards the end of 2010. Going forward, growth will pick up somewhat, underpinned by buoyant corporate sentiment and demand for infrastructure spending. Tighter monetary policy and a modest reduction in the deficit will help cool demand somewhat. After moderating towards the end of 2010, inflation has veered up again and remains high. Moreover, inflationary pressures have become more generalised, with non-food prices accelerating.
The recent increase in world oil prices has been passed through into domestic petroleum product prices only to a limited extent and higher energy subsidy outlays are likely in 2011. A renewed commitment to reducing subsidies is needed to lower the burden on public finances. Efforts to better target subsidies on the needy ought to be stepped up. Further liberalisation of foreign direct investment in the retail sector would promote competition and help modernise supply chains, thereby reducing food inflation pressures.
