Vol. 10 No. 1Successful summits with the BRICS grouping (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), Japan, China, Nepal and Bhutan were topped off with a high-profile visit to the United States (US) from 27-30 September.

Vol. 9 No. 2In India, PMJDY (Prime Minister Jan Dhan Yojna) is a big step in an order to achieve banking sector forwardness and reach, indeed. The PMJDY coverage is multifarious from simple bank account to linked insurance coverage to debit card facilities etc. But, the government has to provide safe electronic banking through ATMs, government-to-citizen money transfers and reliability on the part of BSPs (Banking Service Providers). With these lines, I thank Editor, Assistant Editor, Editorial Board and Review Board to help in bringing another afresh issue of the Journal of Commerce and Trade i.e., Vol. IX No. 2 October, 2014.

Vol. 9 No. 1Countries practice economic diplomacy by providing economic incentives to promote strategic interests. Modi government has deftly combined politico-strategic concerns with economic advantage. It needs to show that it can shape the agenda in multilateral gatherings such as BRICS next week and forthcoming meetings of the WTO and climate change talks after the novelty phase of the force of Modi’s personality and the BJP dominance of parliament has been overtaken by other global events. With these burning changes, the April 2014 (Vol. IX No. 1) issue of JCT is in your hands. I wish the drivers of the Indian Economy a safe journey at the bumpy roads ahead.

Vol. 8 No. 1-2Still after 66 years of freedom, we have to learn to feel free. We have to develop infrastructure of equal opportunities. We have to immediately stop the reservation and quota techniques. We have to create effective labour laws. We have to analyse school learning outcomes. Fundamentally, we have to innovate learning in schools and teaching in colleges and we have to redefine this political system. There must be rules as we have in every service sector does. So, the basic vision behind the above lines is not only looking in but looking out and looking forward, too.

Vol. 7 No. 1The rupee has been witnessing sharp volatility in recent times. It plunged to a record low of 56.38 against US Dollar. The rupee was around 19 against the US Dollar in 1991. This means, the Indian currency has depreciated by 197 percent over the 21 years against the dollar. It affects individuals’ expenditure, growth and income. Fall in rupee value attributes to more spending for same products or services. Prices of petrol has been increasing in three times in the last four months. Oil marketing companies incur losses due to depreciation in rupee. As impact of decrease in rupee value, higher dollar is paid out on imports and exports also are adversely affected. The Government and the policy initiators have to do more on various fronts. Now, the present issue is taking us to the 7th year of publishing. We have done a lot to facilitate printing of good articles. Our new full interactive website has started working.

Vol. 6 No. 1Industrial output rose 7.3 percent in March from a year earlier, almost double the revised 3.7 percent expansion in February. Indian exports grew 34.4 percent in April, 2011 to $23.9 billion but on the other side imports also showed a rise of 14.1 percent to $ 32.8 billion which results a trade deficit of $8.9 billion in April. Food inflation dropped to an 18 months low of 7.7 percent during the last week of April, 2011 due to declining prices of pulses and vegelables and expectation of record production of many food items. Increasing prices of petrol and diesel may adversely affect the economy. With these road hurdles and speed-ups, the national economy upgrading day by day, we here are publishing our 11th issue of JCT.

Vol. 4 No. 1The WTO estimated the volume of global trade to contract by 9 percent in 2009. It is the largest contraction since World War II.

It dropped to 33 years low of 0.26 percent raising fears that the economy is moving towards deflation.

It was high at 9.4 precent in 2007-08. Hope that this issue will be appreciated by you.
