IMF Projects 6.8 percent Growth in Current Fiscal for India

On 23rd December 2022 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its Article IV consultation report projected a growth rate of 6.8 percent for India in the current fiscal year (FY23) and falling to 6.1 percent in the next fiscal year (FY24).

• The IMF also called for further structural reforms, including addressing the adverse impact of climate change and to secure strong and sustainable growth.

Key highlights:
i.The IMF board also suggested that the Monetary tightening must be communicated to balance inflation objectives and growth needs.

• Upon tightening, financial conditions could weaken the asset quality and result in financial sector stress, limit credit provision and negatively impact long-term growth.

ii.According to the IMF, reduced international cooperation can further disrupt trade and increase financial markets volatility, over the medium term.

• The exchange rate will continue to act as a shock absorber with foreign exchange intervention limited to addressing disorderly market conditions.

iii.The IMF’s Article IV consultation report also includes a Staff Report that provides a country assessment, an executive board assessment based on the report, and a statement by the executive director for the country.
Solutions:
i.India’s estimated 5 % tax gap in GDP shall be narrowed by reversing the fuel excise tax cuts, further broadening the corporate and personal income tax bases, simplifying the goods and services tax (GST) rate structure, rationalising the items subject to preferential GST treatment, and continued improvements in tax administration, in line with international good practices.
ii.Maintaining momentum in the asset monetization and privatisation agenda could generate additional receipts and the improved efficiency through better targeting of subsidies can reduce leakages in the expenditure side.

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

JNCASR researchers shown 1st time IR light emission & absorption with GaN, a new artificial Nanostructures

Researchers of Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bengaluru, Karnataka, have shown for the 1st time infrared(IR) light emission and absorption with Gallium Nitride (GaN), new artificial nanostructures for Infrared Absorption Technologies can be useful in Defense, Imaging & Sensing.
The research has been published in the prestigious journal Nano Letters. 

• JNCASR is an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology, Bengaluru, Karnataka.
• This new method help in the development of highly efficient infrared absorbers, emitters, and modulators for use in defence & energy technologies, imaging, sensing, and other applications.

Key Points:
i. One of the most advanced semiconductors is GaN, a widely used material for blue light emission.
ii. Though visible and ultraviolet light applications of GaN have already been realised, with Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes commercially available, utilisation of GaN for IR light harvesting or development of GaN-based IR optical elements is lacking.
iii. Though GaN has been known for some time and is used in LEDs, this is the 1st time that infrared light-matter interactions have been demonstrated in GaN.
iv. Molecular beam epitaxy in the International Centre for Materials Science in JNCASR was used to grow GaN nanostructures.
v. This instrument creates high-quality material nanostructures with dimensions 1,00,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair using an ultra-high vacuum.
vi. This work will be extremely beneficial in meeting the demand for infrared sources and detectors for energy, security, imaging, and other applications.
