The global and Indian metals markets have undergone unprecedented metamorphosis over the last two years, what with prices first rising to record levels in the first half of 2008 followed by a huge collapse in the wake of the global financial market crisis and slowdown in growth. In the Indian context, with strong GDP growth and expanding expenditure on infrastructure, housing and manufacturing facilities, industrial metals and base metals, consumption in the country is clearly set to rise for several years into the future. With the Indian market gradually integrating with the global market, it is necessary for market participants — producers, consumers, traders — to hold a worldview of market fundamentals of demand and supply, in addition of course to the Indian market conditions. The mover and shaker of the metals market, China, had a decisive role to play in impacting the metals sector. There is also belief that the collapse of financial market actually led to panic sales which in turn resulted in metals prices overshooting to the downside. Once confidence slowly began to return in 2009, the market started to look up and production cuts turned into supply bottleneck, with concomitant effect on market prices. read more

Thousands of investors who agreed to buy off-plan hotel rooms or apartments are facing legal action from property developers because they cannot complete the deal. Mr Percy is unable to remortgage his home, and is considering converting his final-salary pension, worth £90,000, into a self-invested personal pension (Sipp) with which he could buy the property. In May 2007 Steven Dowd, 31, and Helen Glanfield, 44, paid a £79,000 deposit on two off-plan flats at Caspian Wharf in East London, a complex to be built by Berkeley Homes, one of the UK’s largest developers.

Towards this end, Sri Lanka adopted a series of policy reforms aimed at accelerating economic growth with special consideration given to pro-poor growth strategies which would actively favour agricultural production and manufacturing. Thus, the rehabilitation of human capital and the outcomes of comprehensive regional development programmes together with public and private investments will, without doubt position these provinces as economic catalysts for Sri Lanka in the long term. As a nation dependent on tourism, the acceleration of the tourism sector development plan will directly contribute not only to a growth in foreign exchange earnings, but also for the development of air cargo dependent trade sectors such as export-oriented horti and aquaculture.
