India plans to invest $1.39t in infrastructure to spur economy

 

India will unveil a series of infrastructure projects this month as part of a plan to invest 100 trillion rupees ($1.39 trillion) in the sector over the next five years, the finance minister said on Saturday, in a push to improve the country's economy.

 

Nirmala Sitharaman's comments, as cited in local newspapers, followed data released on Friday that showed India's economic growth slowed to 4.5% in the July-September quarter - its weakest pace since 2013 - upping the pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government to speed reforms.

 

"A set of officers are looking into the pipeline of projects that can be readied so that once the fund is ready, it could be front-loaded on these projects," Sitharaman said at a business summit in Mumbai, the newspapers reported. "That task is nearly completed. Before December 15, we will be able to announce front-loading of at least ten projects," she said.

 

Modi came to power in 2014 on the promise to improve India's economy and boost foreign investments, but he has struggled to meet those aims due to a lack of structural reforms. Modi won a second term in May and has taken various measures since 2014 to spur growth, including cutting the corporate tax and speeding up privatization of state-run firms.

 

But several economic indicators show domestic consumption is weak, and many economists expect the current slowdown could persist for another two years. ($1 = 71.7700 Indian rupees)

North Korea brings Kim's uncle home from Europe, says Seoul

 

SEOUL – An uncle of North Korean autocrat Kim Jong Un returned home recently after serving more than 30 years as an envoy to Europe, South Korea's spy agency told lawmakers this weekend.

 

Kim Pyong Il was last stationed in the Czech Republic as North Korea's ambassador.

 

The 65-year-old envoy is a half-brother of Kim Jong Il, the previous North Korean leader. Kim Pyong Il lost the race to succeed their father, Kim Il Sung – the country's first ruler – despite receiving backing from his birth mother.

 

Kim Pyong Il was appointed as the top envoy to Hungary in 1988. He went on to serve as the North Korean ambassador to multiple European countries.

 

The South Korean media, which broke the news of Kim Pyong Il's return, has speculated on the reason for Pyongyang's move. Some think he will be purged. It was only two years ago that Kim Jong Un's half-brother, Kim Jong Nam, was killed by exposure to VX nerve agent at a Malaysian airport in an apparent assassination.

 

But Kim Jong Un does not see Kim Pyong Il as a major threat to his authority, according to a piece in the Maeil Business Newspaper. The North Korean leader has solidified his political base, and Kim Pyong Il has not criticized the current regime, the article said.
