China and India Two economy fares as follows:
India’s foreign exchange surged by a whopping 2.02 billion US dollars to 369.95 billion US dollars in the week that ended on 31st of March 2017. A RBI press release has informed that foreign currency assets, a major part of the overall reserves rose by 2.08 billion US dollars to 346.32 billion US dollars.
In the previous week too, the reserves had shot up by 1.15 billion US dollars to 367.93 billion US dollars.
Gold reserves, on the other hand moved down by 45 million US dollars to 19.87 billion US dollars.
India’s special drawing rights with the International Monetary Fund also fell 5.1 million US dollars to 1.45 billion US dollars, while the country’s reserve position too dropped by 10.7 million US dollars to USD 2.32 billion US dollars.
India’s trade deficit with China was recorded at 46.7 billion US dollars during the April-February period of the last fiscal. Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman informed Rajya Sabha that overall trade with China during the 11-month period decreased marginally by 0.87 per cent to 64.57 billion US dollars.
She said in a written reply that during this period, India’s exports to China grew by 8.69 per cent to 8.94 billion US dollars while imports from the neighbouring nation declined by 2.26 per cent to 55.63 billion US dollars, resulting in a shrinkage of 4.1 per cent in India’s trade deficit with China. Brent crude oil futures rose 68 cents, to 55.57 dollars a barrel, after reaching an intra-day peak of 56.08 dollars a barrel, the highest since 7th of March. U.S. crude rose 70 cents, to 52.40 dollars a barrel. Although Syria has limited oil production, its location and alliances with big oil producers in the region mean any escalation of the conflict has the potential to increase supply-side fears.

The global reserve system is dominated by a single currency, the US dollar, in which the vast bulk of global trade and finance is conducted. This currency hegemony gives the world’s only superpower the exorbitant privilege of having its own liabilities function as the global currency. Several scholars argue that the scale of this privilege help seed the financial crisis of 2007. Emerging markets poured their savings into dollar-denominated debt, creating a flood of cheap credit that lead to wild speculation and subsequent collapse. Since the crisis, several reform measures for this destabilising global reserve system have been suggested, with speculation on everything from a return to the gold standard, an elevation of the IMF’s Special Drawing Right (SDR), and the rise of the Chinese Renminbi being discussed. This lecture offers a systemic account of how the global reserve system works in order to evaluate these claims. It argues that that global currencies will continue to be nationally based, hence reforms will have to focus on international institutions capable of disciplining the (existing and/or rising) hegemon rather than creating new synthetic currencies like the SDR. Prof Anush Kapadia teaches sociology in the Humanities and Social Sciences Department at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. He has studied at Amherst College and Columbia University, having completed his doctoral thesis in anthropology in 2009. Prior to IIT Bombay, Prof. Kapadia taught at City University, London and Harvard University. His research focuses on the politics of financial systems, trying to understand how system-design choices are also political choices, and how these choices lead to macro-social outcomes such as growth or crises. |
