Latest World Economic Outlook  report released by the IMF:

The latest forecast for global growth five years from now –– at 3.1 percent –– is at its lowest in decades. The pace of convergence toward higher living standards for middle- and lower-income countries has slowed, implying a persistence in global economic disparities. …dimmer prospects for growth in China and other large emerging market economies, given their increasing share of the global economy, will weigh on the prospects of trading partners.

INDIA ELECTIONS

The central battle is between Narendra Modi’s BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), and the INDIA Bloc (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) formed by more than two dozen opposition parties, including the Indian National Congress. 

What’s at stake?

In the last ten years under Modi’s rule, the combined wealth of India’s 100 richest has touched $660 billion (an amount that equals 18 months of the federal budget). Unemployment is at a record high, with only one out of five college graduates likely to find a job. The percentage of salaried workers has dropped to 21%. Hunger is on the rise, with 74% of the population unable to afford one healthy meal a day.

Meanwhile, BJP’s leaders openly deliver speeches in admiration of Nazism, civil servants bulldoze houses and shops of Muslims under the pretext of municipal governance, and mobs lynch people for eating beef in a country that is 81% non-vegetarian. 

Political and human rights activists – belonging to or advocating for the rights of India’s marginalized Dalit, Muslim, and Adivasi communities – have been arrested under sedition and anti-terrorism laws, without trial or recourse to bail.
