While remittances to South Asian countries grew at an estimated 3.5% to $163 billion in 2022, there are large disparities, with Nepal seeing about 4% rise, against India’s projected gain of 12%. India has been a recipient of increased remittances consistently with inward remittances (money coming into the country) being $89 billion in 2021 as against $68 billion in 2012. However, high inflation in the US and UK, coupled with an economic slowdown, may hit inward remittance flow in 2023.

Let us explains the trend and how tapping NRI resources can help the economy.

Retail inflation in January rose to 6.52% from 5.88% in November and 5.72% in December. Indices calculate retail inflation. The high base effect lowered retail inflation in November and December. November and December 2021 saw higher numbers. This kept November and December 2022 inflation lower than in previous months. January 2022 had a lower index number than November and December 2021. Retail inflation rose in January 2023 due to this. The same logic applies to February, suggesting inflation will exceed 6%.

The discovery of 5.9 million tonnes of lithium in Jammu & Kashmir is a major boost for India’s electrification plans but mining is a high-risk, high-reward game in the ecologically sensitive Himalayas. This may be the seventh-largest deposit of the rare element, accounting for roughly 5.7% of all the reserves in the world. They are also said to be of a higher grade—550 parts per million (ppm) against the average 220 ppm—making it highly lucrative, given how lithium prices have soared in the last few years. According to the International Energy Agency, lithium prices went up more than seven-fold between the start of 2021 and May 2022. In this video, let's discuss the potential benefits as well as dangers of discovering a large lithium deposit.
