We aspire to a world in which USD isn’t almighty. Are we ready for it?

It is undoubtedly true that the current dollar dominance is often weaponised by the US for political ends. China has been taking several measures over a long period of time to insulate itself from such a threat. Should we, as the fifth largest economy (soon to be third) follow suit?

Is China’s economy in trouble, or is it a transformed economy?

It also now appears that the much-talked-about “steady fall in share of Chinese imports into the US” in the post-2018 period may be only superficial.

A ‘developed economy’ must have resilience to climate change

Climate variability is increasing. Illustratively, Dubai usually receives an average precipitation of only 80 mm in an entire year, but this week alone, it experienced 254.8 mm rainfall in less than 24 hours -- a historic first!

The hidden obstacles to becoming a ‘developed’ country

Economic liberalisation happened because of a national realisation of the failures of past policies.
